The Navy affectionately refers to the Coast Guard as "Shallow Water Sailors" or my favorite, "Puddle Pirates" which means if our boat sinks we can walk back to shore as long as we're 6' tall.  Navy guys think it's funny so us Coasties humor them. :)

Please let some of us landlubbers in on the 6 foot tall joke? My friend for New Hampshire is ex CG and is only 5'2.
