BOUTWELL Crew Gives Shoutouts with the Commandant -- Give One Back
While onboard BOUTWELL this week in Djibouti, crewmembers had the rare opportunity to say "Hi" to their loved ones back home while they circumnavigate the globe supporting the 5th, 6th and 7th fleets. Here is one example:
You can see more here (check back over the next couple days, we have more to upload).
Let's try a social media experiment and show your support to the crew of BOUTWELL by sending them your thanks and best wishes. You can do it three ways:
-- Comment to this post
-- Leave a post on their fanpage
-- Comment on individual videos in the photobucket
We will be sure they get all the messages, but we are sure they will be checking.
Also, a special thanks to the unit Ombudsman, Cindy Stewart:

might want to fix the typo on the first line. boutwell is circumnavigating, not circumventing the globe...:)
Thanks...corrected.
Enjoy the trip guys! And try not to over heat!
Shipmates on the BOUTWELL, thanks for doing such a great job out there. Be safe.
ADM Allen, the videos are a great idea!
I would like to send a message of thanks and support to the crew of the Boutwell from a "member" of the Navy Blogosphere.
I have had the distinct honor of serving alongside members of the USCG in Philadelphia, Honolulu, Washington DC, Chicago, and Alexandria, LA (in the challenging weeks following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita).
The professionalism and dedication of the members of the USCG was inspiring (particularly on the Gulf Coast). Their own homes destroyed in the disaster and their family members displaced, those USCG personnel were still standing the watch. Fourteen hour days 7 days a week was the norm as these professionals worked to help restore order across three states, thousands of miles of coastline, and hundreds of towns and cities.
For an organization that is smaller than the NYC police department, the USCG has an awe inspiring global impact. I thank the members of the USCG for their service, and I wish safe but interesting times for the crew of the Boutwell. Keep up the great work.
V/R,

Great videos. ADM Allen, thanks for highlighting this hardworking crew.
BZ USCGC Boutwell!
I think these videos are a clever use of technology. Hopefully the bandwidth availability holds...
Thanks for taking time to support USCGC Boutwell!
I hope to see my twin brother in upcoming videos/photos!
BOUTWELL shipmates- Although I'm certain it's hard work, I hope you're enjoying a once-in-a-career deployment. Enjoy it all and take pictures!

Aloha, BOUTWELL! I hope all is going well (and air conditioned, I hope!) with you! Keep doing a great job on your patrol. Oh, and keep an eye on your airdales. I'm sure they like to tell you they're working hard, but, from my direct experience in having worked with them, I'm willing to bet they've got the wool pulled over your eyes.
Be safe, and keep up the good work!

Ahoy out there, shipmates! Keep up the great work and stay safe.

Folks,
Thanks for serving. You deserve a Semper Fi from an old Marine!
My old college boyfriend, a cadet who graduated in 1972, had a summer cruise on the Boutwell. You are doing good work under, I imagine, some "technical challenges" with a ship of her age. Bravo Zulu!
I hear springtime on the seas is lovely this time of year. Enjoy boys! and girls. I know I enjoy America as the Founding Fathers envisioned thanks to your service. Blessings.
Thank you all for your service. Be safe out there.
Boutwell: Thank you for your Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty.
Your service brings those core values to life and remind those of working "from home" what they really mean.
Bravo Zulu!
These videos are real time and interesting. Keep it up and really appreciate you guys running 'round the world and showing the flag, and the stripe!
Kudos, fair winds, safe return and thanks to a great ship and her crew. Great to see the mighty 719 looking so good. Ron Bald, Suppo, 1996-98.
Boutwell....be safe. I hope you all have a great time. I was on the Boutwell in 03 when she went to the Persian Gulf. Memories of a lifetime!!
