Such an honor getting to highlight the incredible work done by the U.S. Coast Guard. Let me know what video you want to see next! 👇🏼
Experience life on a Carrier, DP did it - you surely can aswell!
Please do USAF Security Forces. Military Police in general is super interesting.
Do C-17 or C-5 next! But I want to see a lot of Air Force jobs that most people don’t know off,
Great informative video. For next, do AH-1Z please, because my country just bought some from US, so it would be great to know more about them ... Or C-5M Super Galaxy, that plane is just amazing.
Be Sure to do Military Police of any branch they are the b est also keep up the work i enjoy watching the videos!
Speaking as someone who was on a boat with mechanical issues 140 miles offshore, it was a huge relief when the USCG jet found us and maintained contact until the USCGC Seahawk arrived from Carabelle, FL. The Seahawk crew checked out our issue, tried to get our engines started and eventually took us under tow to Panama City. I know that the 5 of us on that boat, and our families, are most appreciative of the USCG and everything that they do for all of us. Great video, Sam.
to opposite things, the skies and the seas working together to make something greater is incredible
Don't wanna be the ackshully guy but it's a Jayhawk, the Navy operates the Seahawk.

20 Yr US Marine here, these Coasties are friggen bad ass. Trained with some of their pilots in flight school and they were sharp, very professional folks. I've seen the videos on their rescue swimmers and I'm just in awe. As someone who wants to get a water survival instructor cert, I watch their content whenever it drops. Having to put your butt on the line and rescue people in varying conditions is inspiring. Cheers from San Diego!
I'm an avid swimmer myself, but that takes nerves of steel to jump the middle of the ocean from a helicopter. I can't even imagine trying to rescue someone out there. As always, love your production quality; you are a true master of your craft.
Don't forget, most of the time they're jumping in the water, the weather is gnarly!
I'm a veteran of the coast guard and I thought I was a good swimmer. Lol I was proved wrong . I didn't do ast but I was a BM which while we were training we have our own rescue swimmer course but it's just from a boat instead of a helo . So it's a milder version
Eight years retired from the Coast Guard as a AMT/Flight Mechanic and I found myself right back to the countless number of rescues I was a part of. Even still remember the commands/dialog as I found myself repeating as the hoisting was commencing.
i remember back during hurricane sandy when i lived right next to the beach, the entire area was flooded and it looked like the apocalypse or something. When the coast guard and national guard helicopters decended to help rescue people it was like watching angels come down, it was a feeling you can never understand until you see it yourself. i will never forget it, thank you guys, you are heroes :>
This is EPIC! Well done highlighting an often under-appreciated part of the Armed Forces
U mean homeland security
@@Phobes03 😎
why did it sound SO scripted though
@@tonyvelasquez6776 it was just THAT good 🤷♂️
@learningwithlanden I mean I like the vidyas but it would be better if it weren't so clear that the DOD was like MUST SAY THIS
I served in the Coast Guard. I was stationed in Alaska and then on a 378 ft ship out of New York. Loved my job !
It's really refreshing that there is attention for all of the people that make this work, and not only the pilots.
6:54 "A hero for a few moments." No -- these swimmers are heroes for life. Incredible
Nothing but love and respect for these brave men and women. You couldn't get me in the middle of the ocean. I've seen JAWS...No Thank You.
Absolutely incredible Sam! Literally my favorite piece you've done. I love everything about the H-60 and what an incredible way to portray our amazing men and women who serve in the USCG. Keep it up!
That means a lot!
December 1999 I as on a fishing charter out of Virgina Beach with my Son and some friends when at 4:50 in the morning and Southeast of Rudie Inlet our boat hit what was later determined to be a buoy that the SEALs used. It was grey and rose 4-5 feet out of the water. t didn't show up on radar and had no lights or reflectors. It stopped a 58' sport fishing boat that was traveling around 23-25 knots like a hitting a brick wall. There was a 4x8 foot hole in the starboard bow that ended at the bulkhead of a stateroom and the bow stateroom. A giant car carrying ship stopped to render assistance. The Coast Guard was spinning up a helicopter but canceled the aircraft after knowing we were safe but still sent a 47' rescue boat like the one in the video. The Coast Guard crew even brough us back to the inlet off of the ship. There are no words that can adequately praise these men and women for the job they do. P.S., because the captain shored up the bulkhead to the engine room the boat was saved and still fishes to this day though it has had quite a few upgrades and several repower events.
Awesome
I have a friend stationed at USCG Air Station Sacramento. Great group of guys flying the C27 primarily and the only fixed wing air station on the west coast. He's told me some pretty hairy stories. Thanks for highlighting this Sam. The "Coasties" don't get a lot of pub, but they do work and it's hard work.
There are fixed wing aircraft (C-130's) at AIRSTA Kodiak, AK and AIRSTA Barber's Point, HI. You are correct that the C27 is only based on the West coast out of AIRSTA Sacramento.
Thanks for these videos, Sam. Not a member of the armed forces myself, but I love seeing them in action and representing the best of America. Thank you!
Never thought much about the Coast Guard but if anyone ever watched Deadliest Catch, then you know how elite and badass these guys are. The show always do a really good job of portraying that to the viewers and highlight how important they are
As someone in the Army, the Coast Guard is probably my most respected branch, more so than my own. They are seriously under appreciated.
My first 10 yrs were in the Army. I transferred to the Coast Guard and did my last 15 yrs until I retired. Never regretted either.
Another exciting and educational video; thanks. The USCG is part of Homeland Security and as mentioned serves a multipurpose role of both rescue and protection. A shoutout to who ever jumped in the water and followed Sam through both the training and simulate rescue.
👍
Another government controlled acc 💀 (joke)
I am a viewer from the UK, I have been hoisted into a Wessex (S-58) on a training exercise. I have huge admiration for the US Coastguard and everything they do. This video as excellent, good effort by you and Coastguard. You could have dobe several vidos focusing on different parts of this unit and what they do, they would all have been hugely enternainng. Many thanks for this video.
Sam, this is by far one of my favorite videos of yours, honestly probably my favorite. From the MH-60 crew consisting of 2 pilots, one rescue swimmer, and a mechanic to the rigorous training endured by those in the rescue swimmer program, I've learned something new about the USCG today. The rescue scene was really well done and informative too! Thank you for sharing this!
Also, for an idea for a future video: Have you considered doing a video on the United States Space Force and what they do on a regular basis? Maybe you've thought about it but I wanted to give you a suggestion anyways. :)
AGREE
Wow, such a great video and tribute to USCG guys.
Almost brought tears to me as well. What a dedication these guys have. Chapeau!
Guardian was the movie that showed how hard it is to be a rescue swimmer, much respect to USCG
Which movie?
@@SaurabhpratapSSingh the guardian
Such a good movie
That was some of the best military footage, and mad respect for the USCG!!
🔥🔥🔥 To the CGAS-EC crew, USCG, and Sikorsky THANKS to you for your service and for trusting Sam and team, to share your story.
Sam so glad you are not done at "GOOD", you always throw it into full gear all the way to EPIC !!! Always AIMing HIGH, way to go SAM !!! 😎
Sam your videos never disappoint. Kudos to you for doing these challenging and dangerous exercises. Big shoutout to the talented and courageous Coast Guard teams doing these rescues. 👏
This is one of your best episodes. So many things going on and so many amazing angles. Bet this was a real adventure. The USCG doesn't get a lot of publicity but they do many, many incredible things!
Proud of our Coasties
Whenever you post, it’s always an event. Great video Sam!
Awesome video Sam, definitely takes guts to throw yourself into the ocean like that so thanks for doing it for the sake of this video, and thanks to all the women and men of the Coast Guard who do this everyday to keep us safe!
I have great respect for ALL Coasties. The smallboat station I served at had over 1,000 SAR cases a year. It’s amazing how many areas of responsibility the USCG has. Search & Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, Hazmat, Drug Interdiction, Homeland Security, AIDS to Navigation, Ice Breaking and more. BZ my Coastie brothers and sisters!
Dude, this was an awesome video. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.
as a proud resident of EC, with my father being a federal firefighter on the base, this was awesome to see, and as a matter of fact, i was actually on base at the time of this video being recorded getting a haircut with my dad, if you ever go back to the base, go to the military exchange, they have a milkshake maker where you put the cup in and they are awesome, sorry for the long sentence, keep up the good work!!!
Sam I LOVE your videos brother it is a blessing to be able to function with crew like this and be able to part of the drills.
These guys and gals are some of the most remarkable people on earth.
This was so incredible to see! I always love seeing helicopters being used around the world, especially for rescue missions, and I can’t think of a better organization to use those incredible machines than the US Coast Guard! 🎉😂
I absolutely loved the video! The Coast Guard Hass to be one of my favorite branches of the US military 🇺🇸 combining ships, planes and helicopters 🚁 🎉😂
Such a awesome video Sam. You delivered the true feeling of this through the camera. The coast guard do awesome work saving lives. Awesome vid.
Amazing! You see clips of these rescues on the news, but really don’t know the training and preparation necessary to carry out the mission. This was both educational and thrilling.
So much respect Sam brother ! And to the entire us coast guard thank you for all you do
Awesome video Sam, my son and I love watching your videos. You and your film crew are doing an awesome job showing what the the U.S. military is all about, keep up the good work!
This was an absolutely fantastic film! I'm super stoked to have met a crew member before you guys shot this. Fantastic work all around!
Incredibly well done. Thank you for making this Sam, Coast Guard and Sikorsky/Lockheed.
Those slo mo shots are 🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic video - shot beautifully!
The part where the pilot acknowledges the distress call and give ‘em the ETA! That gave me chills. I can’t imagine how it feels being in that situation and hearing those words over the radio! Great job
I have been told by survivors, that hearing that when they were about to quit gave them hope and the will to survive knowing we were coming for them.
Much respect for the Coasties, world class professionals all the way.
Sam this is amazing, you pulled this together with USCG and Sikorsky. Congrats man, keep up the good work.
Respect to those who served to protect people in the ocean.
Wow, that was intense. That was a great demonstration of what the Coast Guard is capable of in these emergency situations. Thanks for putting together such a great video!
Most people are sponsored by raid shadow legends, this man is sponsored by Sikorsky!
Yup, the ultimate flex.
So much respect and appreciation to all Men and Women of US Coast Guard!
Massive Respect!!! None of us watching can't even imagine how difficult it must be out there!
Wow ! I work as E.M.T my all life and I always got the same respect to the seamen and rescue swimmers ... That's a f.....g job but so grateful on land , so , at sea .... A big big thanks for all rescuers , volunteers or / and professionals , all over the world . ❤
Sam- Thank you for shining a light on Coast Guard Aviation. Best job in the world.
It`s happiness in 11 hours!!
Great video and a great opportunity! One of my favorite movies is The Guardian. I wish there was more Coast Guard type movies and this video certainly fits in. Wish you included the line of the rescue swimmer (not sure if they said it here) but "I'm a Coast Guard rescue swimmer and I'm here to help you!" probably one of the most powerful lines you could hear as you are floating out in the ocean.
VERY EXCITING!! Thanks for taking us along. Sam. You are amazing!
outstanding job, both CG and Sam. and a big thanks to the sikorsky guys.
Sam, I’m so impressed with your stories and this was no exception. Your videos are so interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing your stories with us all and kudos for all those who serve world wide ❤
Wow, thank you!
W.o.w. You and your team have such an incredible talent! It’s wonderful you took all that time and effort. I hope your video can help portray just how much the ocean should be respected. Thanks so much for highlighting what we do and coming out to play!
🙏
this is why i love U.S. Coast Guard they look cool
I'm so glad I was able to watch this video. Really got me fueled up. Planning on enlisting as a reservist soon can't wait for that to be my hopeful job
Thank you Sam, and the U.S. Coast Guard for your service
Bro Sam’s dedication to his videos are amazing, shoutout to all coast guards too
It's was so great, it's his on point to clarifies what his doing.. It's so clear...
Thank you Sam for all of the great videos you put out really do enjoy them and learning so much about the Armed Forces. Thank you Sam and love all of the videos.
Thanks for the hard work you do. ❤👍
absolutely incredibe. If i was getting saved by these guys then i no know full well that im in safe hands.
beginning to end, this is soo well fucking executed 👏👏👏 the flying, the b-roll, the sound design, and the edits here are absolutely top notch. great seeing edits like this come together
So proud of how it turned out!
Incredible video Sam. Thank you for sharing just one small but incredibly important part of the USCG! #SemperParatus
Sam, This was an amazing video. What a great experience doing this with the Coast Guard. Yours is so professional and fun to watch. I watched a series on youtube called Protecting Our Waters | Coast Guard Rescue Series from DangerTV and loved it. Keep up the amazing content.
Thank you to all of you who serve!
As a tech diver and CCR instructor that also happens to do video I was looking forward to watch your video since you posted that about it for the first time.
Sam - more amazing content - your attention to details is outstanding. I defiantly felt it when you were looking into the deep. The slow motion content really compelling.
Great video! You should do another video on Coast Guard boat crews. Especially the surf men who drive boats into breaking surf to save lives.
Thanks for shining a well deserved light on the USCG!
coast guard is so under appreciated, they do so much.
Fantastic work!! And such a wonderful education. Thank you! 😊
can never forget the people working 24/7 behind the scenes, responding to dozens of calls a day, my fathers one of those people, i see a lot of what happens in the command centers
I braved the ocean for years and made it. Heavy duty SAR and loved it.
Joining these brave folk by the end of the year
Outer banks, Paradise on earth!
I was stationed with Nate when he was a fresh rescue swimmer back in Sitka. Good guy
This is freaking awesome Sam! Love it! Keep up the work!
Wonderful video and thank you for highlighting the USCG, people tend to overlook us from time to time. Next you need to come out to Astoria, OR and the Columbia River. This is know as the graveyard of the Pacific and is where we train our MLB Coxswain's.
Cracking video Sam, can't wait to watch your next video upload.
Those waves are insane! I surf sometimes, and the ocean can be pretty rough. Those are some experienced swimmers!
Amazing, epic video, Sam! Great subject and so well produced. Hope we see you soon!
Phenomenal video!!!! Simply amazing - not just what you did, but the way it was edited and produced.
Those wave absolutely pounded Sam! Nate handled the waves like a pro 🔥
I love watching your videos! Thank you! I will be waiting!
Thanks for showing us Coasties some love! Specifically, all of us rock stars at airsta E-City.
This video is absolutely amazing and interesting! Good job, Sam!
Are you still planning to publish a video about USAFA admissions for international cadets?
This vídeo was insane!!! I really liked this one!! The coast guard of The U.S.A is amazing! Thank you for this experience...
Awesome!! 😎I shared the video on a coast guard group on Facebook
WOW, WHAT A GROUP OF BRAVE MEN & LADIES! Thanks for showing. John P.
Niko nailing the drone shots as usual.
Cool video, Sam!
This is epic! Always thought these kinds of rescues were so cool after seeing The Guardian back in the day!
highest audio quality I have EVER heard with no mics visible, amazing
The quality of those videos is quite outstanding.
This is your best video yet, Sam. Awesome!
Well done Same, for bringing such videos about rescueing lives on the coast.
Moreover, these are heroic taskes often done by coast gurd all over the globe.
Above all, i'm by far really thrild watching such incredible videos of yours.
As always keep up u incrdible journey and thrilled audience with balanced photages.
Another well filmed video! Would be interested to see a video just focusing on the training for rescue swimmers given the high wash out rate
Absolutely insane! Fabulous documentary.
