Tall Ship Eagle
Swab Madeline Blackburn   

So far, my Eagle experience has been very different from my Chase Hall Swab Summer experience back at the Academy. It was a shock to come to the Eagle expecting the same strict atmosphere as Chase Hall only to find that the Eagle cadre and crew are relaxed about most things. The focus here is less about having perfectly starched uniforms or sounding off every time you speak, and more about working together as a team and building relationships with each other.

I think that when the products of the two environments come together, the discipline of Chase Hall and the camaraderie of life at sea, the swabs begin to understand how to be effective Coast Guard officers.
