[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Hi ya Tommy .

[YouTube: Tommy] Sorry what (Hi Gus) is this guy talking about going on tonight?

[YouTube: Tommy] Do we have a rally tonight?

[YouTube: uncle bubba] no I couldn't Gus. auxiliary was my only option cuz of psychological reasons. but i could deploy with active n reserves after the proper training. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[YouTube: CAMERA PHOBIA] dallas i think

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] IDK .. I got here late today Tommy .. hope some one else answers your question.

[YouTube: Tommy] yes in texas

[YouTube: Tommy] i think its answered

[YouTube: uncle bubba] felt compelled to serve in whatever capacity i could, after being denied the opportunity to enlist for active duty. plus, I had a civilian career too.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] wish I could a been active duty. I woulda been an " may " or possibly a " d.o.g. ".

[YouTube: uncle bubba] * mst

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Oh whell , at least you tried to serve as best you could Froggy .. Comendable 4 sure.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] tried hell, I was an amazing auxiliarist. and uh, auxop meant I was deployable, alongside active n reserves.

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] If all joined hands and arms Froggy , things would get better fast.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] * es

[YouTube: uncle bubba] shockingly few younger folks in my flotilla. but most were there just to be regular auxiliarists.. safety checks, aids to navigation, SAR, public relations, etc. mostly retired from other other branch

[YouTube: uncle bubba] ed

[YouTube: Tommy] Save the frogz

[YouTube: uncle bubba] anyway... I got sick of the atrozine jokes. plus, I'm not that same young man anymore. I'm just a washed up ass uncle bubba. 😔

[YouTube: uncle bubba] a man who isnt sure why his index finger smells like mustard, even tho I washed my hands 20 mins ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[YouTube: uncle bubba] and didn't have mustard for like a month now!

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Most here in the rescue service are volenteers too , and risk life and limb in extreme circumstances Froggy , I would have love to do the life boat rescue. But live too far away .5 min. call

[YouTube: uncle bubba] I'm clean too. I may be homeless, but i get showers. had one this morning in fact. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] to get ready and launch in 10 mins.

[YouTube: Tommy] STCW

[YouTube: uncle bubba] I'm inland Gus, n still got deployed. there's ALWAYS some jackass who puts himself in a bad situation here. lots of waterborne rescue ops around here. usually alcohol related.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] theres a goddamn good reason to wear those life vests people!

[YouTube: uncle bubba] I'm sorry... personal floatation devices.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] I came to training with a pair of those water wings once. the active PO laughed his ass off. 🤣

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] And have a xenox waterfroof flashing light so ir you go overbourd they can save and find you .

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Night time .. most disasters are during the night here at sea.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] they have these units you can affix to your vest. a strobe n beacon like thing.

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Yep that's what I mean

[YouTube: uncle bubba] unfortunately, a lot of lil disasters are at night here too, only it's along a river, large creek, lake, etc. plus, all the natural disasters. sometimes the cgaux is about just providing humanitarian

[YouTube: uncle bubba] aid. giving people who've lost everything food, coffee, blankets, etc.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] I wish I could get back into it, or be part of a county rescue squad. or... tema officer. same job, but armed and part of the state military department. peace officer status too.

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] I know you would Froggy , you've mentioned it a few times in the past .... would be cool for ya if you could.

[YouTube: uncle bubba] ah well. I feel like crap today, and i have a lil project to do. y'all take care.

[YouTube: gusthebroken2] Ok Froggy , you do what you gotta do ..Thanks for the chat ..TC
