A bunch of Puddle Pirates who patrol the coast of the United States only stopping Cubans from reaching the coast of Florida as well as stopping drugs from reaching the Gulf coast from Caribbean Islands. Basically, the Maritime law enforcement of the United States that also has the ability to assist in natural disasters such as hurricanes.
Most Coast Guard members believe they are part of the armed forces, when in reality, the Coast Guard is part of the department Homeland Security.

The smallest of the five branches of the U.S. military. They are under-funded and under-appreciated, but they are vital to national security. They conduct search & rescue, counterterrorism, customs & immigration enforcement, and environmental law compliance tasks.

Motor boating a female or females for an extended period of time. Usually after hours and with women who have large breasts.

A rather unique branch of the DOD that used to be part of the Department of Transportation. Generally involved in missions including:
Drug Stopping/Seizure
Envoironmental Protection
Search and Rescue
Homeland Defense
I consider this to be a pretty valuable asset of the US military, but often wonder why it hasn't been incorporated into our Navy.

1) According to most Americans, it does not exist. Sort of like Area 51.
2) Founded in 1876, it actually resides in New London, Connecticut (which means most Americans might as well be right). The Academy is a four-year military-college-ish environment that ostensibly educates and trains young Coast Guard officers.
2) Academy graduates are lovingly referred to by OCS graduates as "Academy Pukes."

American Citizen: What's the Coast Guard Academy? Are you in the Navy/Air Force?
2)
USCGA Cadet: The mission of the United States Coast Guard Academy is to graduate young men and women with sound bodies, stout hearts, and alert minds...
3)
OCSGRAD1: Hey, man did you get your billet on the Diligence?
OCSGRAD2: NO! Some Academy Puke got it first.
