Rear Adm. Daniel Neptun, commander of the 1st Coast Guard District, Chief Petty Officers Erik Watson and William Lefever and Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Perkins and Scott Richards, all Coast Guard Surfmen, speak the Coast Guard Surfman's Creed.

The Surfman's Creed:



I will, to the best of my ability, pursue each 
mission with the commitment, compassion, 
and courage inherent in the title of Surfman.


I will endeavor to reinforce the worldwide reputation of our forefathers in the Lifeboat Community.


I will maintain a guardian's eye on my crew at 
all times, and keep a cool, yet deliberate, hand on the throttle.


I will give of myself, and my knowledge as those 
who gave to me; so as the line of Coast Guard Surfman will live forever.

I will ensure that my supervisors rest easy with the knowledge that I am at 
the helm, no matter what the conditions, 


I will never unnecessarily jeopardize myself, my boat, or my crew; 
But will do so freely to rescue those in peril.


I will strive with dedication and determination to bring credit upon Coast Guard Surfman, past and future.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
