Great ‪#‎weather‬ on land doesn't always equal great weather offshore!
It's a gorgeous weekend in the Pacific Northwest, but before you break out your boat and hit the water, be sure to check your local weather and bar reports.
Be safe and enjoy the ‪#‎sunshine‬!

AMTCM L.P. Moroles was joining the Coast Guard and became part of recruit company Oscar 120. He went on to spend countless hours on HC-130 Hercules airplanes throughout the service and to mentor many young petty officers and junior officers. 
Today he is the command master chief of Air Station/SFO Port Angeles, Wash., and received his 10th Good Conduct Medal. We commend and thank AMTCM for his more than 30 years of service.
