It’s Vacation Time… let the blogging continue!

It’s been in the planning stages for about five months now and all at the hands of my wife- and today is the day to act upon it. As you read this I’m starting my vacation; my vacation from being a watchstander, from putting on my uniform (though in spirit I’ll still be wearing it), [...]

Thanks for staying tuned…

Well the “vacation” is over and all is as good as can be expected. First I’d like to thank the folks who helped out while I was gone: Sean Lawler, Peter Stinson, Anastacia Thorsson, and Daren Lewis. Without them you would have been left with my misspellings and picture posts to look at. They’re always [...]

Family time prevails… but the posts shall continue

This will be my last post, with the exception of a few pre-dated ones, for the remainder of the week as the family and I will be taking care of a few personal items. And in an effort to concentrate on said items, and the potential lack of internet connectivity, I leave you in the [...]

CGBlog.org Policy Change; bickering will now cease

There are other unofficial United States Coast Guard sites out there that generally do not agree with the way the Coast Guard does business, and CGBlog.org :: An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog is not one of those sites. There seems to be sense of confusion for a few people out there that we are in [...]

CGBlog.org, our past, present, and future

There have been a few rumors and thoughts (via the web, eMail, and IM chats) on what’s going on with CGBlog as of late. And though I would like to put a little squelch on such, I won’t. The fact it is it’s a lot more fun to let people try to figure things out [...]

In a state of flux…

Good day loyal readers and thank you for stopping by. As you’ll no doubt notice there has been a slight lack of posting on the site, and for good reason. The short answer of it all would be that I, Ryan, informed the CGBlog staff as of last week that I can no longer run [...]

Slowing down?

You’ll notice that posting around here has slowed down a little. Not to worry, we’re not going away… Just to give you an update on what’s been happening: Work and play are competing. At work we’re standing up the pre-cursor to OPCOM and as my last post indicated SWE’s are ongoing and taking some of [...]

Connect to CGBlog with Facebook Connect… and other things

We’ve been busy behind the scenes of CGBlog as of late. There are a few new things coming down the pike, though minor, they are coming. But until then I thought we could share with your our, well my, new love of Facebook. You’ll note that on the sidebar we have a button for Facebook- [...]

Welcome to CGBlog our newest contributor, Sean Lawler

I apologize for the delay in welcoming Sean Lawler as our newest contributor to the CGBlog team. He’s posted his bio for all to see on our contributor page so there’s no question of who he is. I’ve also been in contact with two other (waiting on a third) active duty Guardians (yep, I’m trying [...]

Hey, what’s the deal with CGBlog’s logo anyway?

This evening as I was looking around the layout of the site for potential changes to be made (I’m never happy) it occurred to me that somewhere along the lines we removed the credit for our current/standard CGBlog banner along the top of the site. So, in an attempt to rectify that, I would like [...]
