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