52 Miles off Kuthernburg Coast
Down Ship Just Off Fordhor
“The universe has it’s own cure for stupidity. Unfortunately it doesn’t always apply it.” Lt.Johnson said, "This must apply to this guy who is out here with his 13 year old son in a 17’ skiff in 13 foot seas with blowing spray’ LCDR. Jesson through the radio. Little did the rescuers know that this would be the last time they saw each other, in order to understand the current bond between these two we must go back to August 2nd 1992 at Royal Queen Airbase were the Coast Guard Trainees spend there first 9 weeks before entering the Royal Kuthern Coast Guard.

Coast Guard Training Academy
After a accident that cost Lt.Johnson his crew during a rescue operation just off the coast of Celestia , the RDML Noshk gave him two options teach the training school or be put on desk duty, reluctantly Johnson accepted the training position. When he left from the Queen Victoria Naval Base he got on the charter helicopter and headed to his new station. Upon arriving he saw a group of young men who expected to be taught via the book, ’ Lets go move it grab your bags and keep up were going to the pool" Johnson says to the group of boys. Jesson who was a star swimmer in college looked confused but carried on with the task and headed to the pool, " Now Jump in and stay afloat for a 60 mins, if you cant stand 60 minutes in a pool how will you ever be able to withstand be out in Salish Sea or Concordia Ocean" Johnson screams at the men as they all jump in. Looking at the current records for in the pool and noticing that Johnson was leader of all them peeked his interest to try to show off to him.
“A ship was stranded off Cape Rezklo on the Nacatan Shoals and one of the life saving crew reported the fact that this ship had run ashore on the dangerous shoals. The old skipper gave the command to man the lifeboat and one of the men shouted out that we might make it out to the wreck but we would never make it back. The old skipper looked around and said, 'The Blue Book says we’ve got to go out and it doesn’t say a damn thing about having to come back.” Johnson pauses for a moment looking at the men in the pool. " As Coast Guard are you truly ready to give your life up for someone else" , the class screams “YES SIR”.
“What’s the worst that can happen Senior Chief? We get underway and get caught in a storm, ice up, flip over, and we all die!” Jessons says to Johnson, " I see we have a jokester in here, well Mr.Jokerster could you introduce yourself to the class since you have so much to say". " My Name is WO2 Utsko Jesson SIR" he replies back, " Everyone one out the water’ Johnson says. Just as Jesson was about to exit the pool Johnson pushed him back down " 9 Weeks Boy" he says to him before walking off. Deep down inside Jesson reminded Johnson of himself at early stage in his life.
