I have a recollection that somewhere I once read that in the early days of the Coast Guard service, when detection and prevention of smuggling was a major aim of the service, postings of staff were regularly rotated to prevent officers becoming too familiar with the local populace and thus more susceptible to involvement in smuggling. Is this correct or have I just imagined it?!! Any information welcomed. |

Hi Wendy, you have not imagined it. It was standard proceedure to rotate CG men for the reasons you state. This would also happen if a CG man married a local girl. Martin |
