RESPONSIBILITY IS MEANING
One must have the internal dedication and fortitude to apply oneself towards mastery, proper use of vessel care and inspection; maritime law, and seamanship skills.
To use proper care and utility of personal protective equipment, communications and navigation.
To be competent working as an individual or on a team under duress during recoveries of humans and animals with extreme pressure from the elements applied at the moment while on a mission.
To finish the ending with a safe transport and consideration of a stable vessel and survivor care.
To act properly when at the helm or on-board towards the goal of patrol duties and rescue needs.
To be able to determine the scope and risk of operations and changing directions.
PRUDENT MARINER
To be able to alter a life-threatening experience by degrees of severity and measured responses.
To decipher the past events in chronological order for inspection, review and critique and remedial correction when required.
To face these moments with courage and the spirit of examination and faith in their practices.
To be truthful in standards of operation and to act up on them while managing the risks for all on-board.
To not cause harm and to come home safe.
To be physical fit and mentally strong.
To be a diligent critical thinker.
To execute demanding vessel handling skills in dynamic conditions and maintain stability.
STRUCTURE OF REALITY
To do these things one must not have the audacity to claim one is a Coxswain simply through having hands on the helm, but to act out the safe behaviors and live it as a way of being.
This requires self-inspection and remarkable observation of fact, rule and danger, and an investment in preventing on-duty tragedy.
