MK Shop Decals Now Available!!!
Well, after I designed the MK Shop crest, I thought that I would make a pretty sweet decal that people could use for whatever they fancy. Slap one on your coffee mug, tag the door to the B-Hole….or whatever. The decal is 4″ in diameter, glossy finish, and pretty durable. Price for the [...]

It’s Up And Running…For Now.
Hey. Sorry for the down time. I originally took the site offline in order to initiate a new theme/layout for the site. New features, new categories, all kinds of stuff. Well, as I started to get into the coding process, I had to go to the ER for an emergency appendectomy. Now I’m at home… drugged up [...]
Thank You!

Any Bikers Wanna Join The Coast Guard Riders?
This was brought to my attention via MK2 Wilson, who wanted to spread the word about a biker gang (sorta) of Coasties that get together for riding groups, benefit rides, etc.
The Coast Guard Riders is a motorcycle riding group of Coasties. It is a way for motorcycle riding Coasties to have a safe and friendly atmosphere to [...]
Loran Station Port Clarence Demolition
The Coast Guard’s Civil Engineering Unit from Juneau and Controlled Demolition, Inc., brought down Alaska’s tallest structure in Port Clarence using controlled explosives. The Long Range Aids to Navigation tower at the Coast Guard LORAN Station was the tallest of its kind in the country but the condition of the tower was deteriorating and with [...]

GO SEE KICK-ASS IN THEATERS NOW!
Just consider this a public service message from a friend. This movie was amazing. It was such a refreshing change from the crap that’s been hitting theaters lately. Plus, how can you turn down Nicolas Cage as Big-Daddy…a Batman looking tough guy. I was blown away by this R rated, violent, bloody, comical film. Just [...]
OHH HELL YAH!
Before you read this, know that you should NOT watch Clash Of The Titans in 3D. If you have to watch it, then be sure to do it in regular presentation. The movie was not filmed in 3d, instead converted over afterwards and it looks like crap. It’s blurry and the image is warped. Also, [...]
Do You Twitter?
Just curious if you folks follow or post to Twitter. I used to have one for myself, but I still have one for this site. Mostly it just posts links to anything I put up on this site. There are also a ton of USCG websites (official and unofficial) that use this service. The reason [...]
HBO’s The Pacific. Watch Part 1 Online for Free!
Unless you hate TV or have been living in a hole, you probably know that the masterminds behind Band of Brother and Saving Private Ryan (Tom Hanks & Spielberg) are making a 10 part mini-series about the US involvement in the Pacific against the Japanese. Well, in a rare show on [...]
Coolest Video Ever
You may not be able to see this on a CGWS unless you are on Vista, but you should definitly go home and watch it. This is the most bad ass music video ever! It’s shot all in one take (for you film buffs) and was so cool I thought I would share it with [...]
MK Shop Is Taking A Break
Hey all. Just a small update for the site. I’ve got a lot going on right now: starting school, deployments, lack of ideas, etc. Since all that’s going on, I’m going to take a break for a little while and stop posting stuff. There are about 6 of you out there who have sent me [...]
Update on MK Shop Stickers
Two things.
1. I’m writing this post on my iPhone at the barber shop in Portsmouth, so if it looks weird I’m sorry. New app to post!
2. I got the MK logo stickers in, but they were total crap. The picture was streched out, the colors were wrong, etc. It took me forever to get my [...]
Got Any Study Material?
Hello, hello. I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. Did anyone watch Vancouver screw up the Olympic torch lighting? I thought that was pretty funny. Anyway. I got an email from a MK2 who was looking for some study aids. I don’t have them on here, but I was hoping maybe some [...]
