About the Book

“The United States Coast Guard has a saying: ‘You have to go out; you don’t have to come back.’ I am still looking for the person who came up with that saying” (Rodger D. Dewey, retired master chief boatswain’s mate E-9). Follow the twenty-eight years of memories of a seventeen-year-old young man from Denver, Colorado, who joined the United States Coast Guard in 1948 and made the United States Coast Guard his life. Follow the training, lessons learned, funny stories, and a true love of being a shallow-water sailor.
