From the Coasties that participated in the Camp Mystic rescue…
Seth Reeves was only supposed to be at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, for two weeks.
He was slated to work from July 1 to July 15 as part of the Aviation Training Center’s flight mechanic exchange program, which allows guardsmen to stand duty at operational air stations. He had become a third-class aviation maintenance technician just over one year ago, in March 2024.

Kudos to ALL of the aviators, both USCG and US Army that participated in those rescues. Tight quarters, low ceilings, lousy vis, and long hours, but they got it done.
Nuff said…
Great behind-the-scenes story. The LEO and military personnel who went helped with the rescues – searches should be recognized. Not glamorous work and was not penciled in their calendars – but they did it anyway. Good job and Thank You !
Unsung heroes.

jrg/Ed/WSF- Agreed!!!
Sir.
I live overseas x 11years now.
But I grew up nd lived, vacationed, taught my children to hunt, fish, enjoy/preserve G-d’s creation, especially there. My Houston (now ex) wife shot her first turkey ( head shot at about 80 yards) outside of Comfort with a .243/Remington.
anyway, too many memories/families there.
I never knew these details?
May G-d continue to bless us with peoples like this!
I must especially thank you Sir for posting this, and your steadfast nature/resolve.
Many problems in/with fusa,
but these kindsa guys keep showing the Real Americans!
