It was Scott Ruskan’s first mission as a US Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The 26-year-old was new to the Coast Guard. He had left a previous career as an accountant before enlisting, and had graduated from rescue swimming school around six months ago when his team got the call from Task Force 1, a local search-and-rescue team in Texas, early Friday morning.
I’m all for cheering for first responders, even if the scenes they attend to reflect deeper problems. I really doubt that this news will make anyone forget about FEMA and the NWS. It’s like we’re in a sub all about positive news that provides a break from the news cycle.
