It's cute, but the USCG just got eight or ten billion dollars in December. Don't believe everything you hear.

On a lighter note, this retired coastie thinks the cartoon was great. We often joked about getting hand me down equiment, ships and planes from the other services ...so sponsors to keep us going seemed perfect...
OK, looked it up and guessing someone is trying to suggest that the cartoon is vessel specific versus just a random picture.
Meh, you sign up for the government cheese you roll the dice on risk of shutdown. In 2008 when the enitre US economy was in the toilet and many Americans were unemployed the coasties were getting paid. Ebb and flow.......
… especially when hysteria and hissy fits are the priority.
All of this is sad. People who are working should be paid regardless of if they are working for the government or not. Keep up the good work Coasties.
It`s not the staff being hysterical and putting on a hissey fit.I guess it is only hysteria and a hissey fit if it is your paycheck that isn’t being paid.
OK what's the REAL punchline..... because I only get the one printed....There are ~ 200 cutters in the USCG fleet. So a 200-1 chance to pick that one.
Your call.

Not really...I had many reasons for signing up.
One was I had full faith in the US to make good on their promises....one of which was a guaranteed paycheck/retirement while big businesses were failing every year.
I can only hope our youth takes note of our steady deterioration and are smart enough to stop joining and defending a country run by leaders with no morals or principles.
Still trying to find the hidden meaning in the cartoon.....anyone or everyone see it but me?
There’s a senate bill being proposed to stop the pay of congress with no back pay if they cannot finalize a budget on time each year. It’s purpose is to end government shutdowns, of course the politicians for the most part are 1%’ers so it probable would not have much effect. Maybe stopping the pay of congressional staff, aids, perks along with the pols might work.
Me neither. It`s a simple cartoon showing CG replacing lost Govt funding with private sponsor funding."Deeper meanings" require drawing a very long bow.That is the obvious punchline that I did get..
Posts 10 and 12 suggest something deeper.
That's the part I am not seeing.
