Training??? No.... the Coastguard don't train!!!!
"It's often a bad sign when people defend themselves against charges that haven't been made." Christopher Hitchens.
I don't think anyone has ever suggested the Coastguard don't train. All that has been queried is the quantity and quality of the training and the adequacy of the training syllabus for training pilots and crewmen without a SAR background from scratch. This may change in the years to come but for the moment, the way their ab initio ambulance paramedics have been non-trained seems to prove the point.
