Host Evan Grills is joined by AST2 Chris Lynch. We discuss Chris' journey through the Coast Guard, becoming a Rescue Swimmer, and what he's learned through his two operational tours as a swimmer. Chris tells a riveting story of a Search and Rescue case he had in Kodiak, and how that affected his outlook on the job and life moving forward. He continues to give advice on how surfing and meditation has helped him handle stress and separate from the intensity of the job. Finally Chris shares his advice for everyone to learn how to fuel yourself; whether that be your mind, body, spirit, or internal motivations.
