both are cool..underway was awesome and this station stuff....(getting to be directly involved with SAR)...not much more noble, or humbling than that...not to say the big boat guys don't do it just not as often. if I had to pick one i'd say these here surf stations are a blast but I respect everyone in this bussness of servitude.....(yep even the cooks)
Lets say im aboard a big cutter and i want to transfer to a station, would it be hard to do? I would like to personally experince both sides of the job. (I'm thinking about signing up really soon just so you guys know.)
ashatsea, well boats I can't say that I disagree with your logic, afterall underway is the only way. But make sure that don't pigeon hole yourself in your young career. You need to do a Station sooner or later if you want to get to the top of the BM world.
