From school books to survival swimming
Every summer for the past six years crewmembers from Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater, Florida have hosted a week-long internship for these high school students. The internship allowed them to experience the behind the scenes vantage point of both Coast Guard and civil aviation. Furthermore, the internship exposed the students and cadets to other job opportunities and career paths within the Coast Guard.
