I’m about a week away from flying out to Honolulu, Hawaii to board the USCG Healy. My trek will take me from Hawaii to Seward, Alaska and will last about ten days. Although this voyage is seemingly shorter than your typical internship, I look forward to learning and experiencing everything this opportunity has to offer. My internship is set to begin on June 20th and last until June 29th (give or take a day or two).
My case is no exception to the apparent norm for the first pre-internship blog post; as I too have been scrambling to make sure all the neccessary paperwork and forms are completed in a timely fashion. With that said, I finally feel like I have all my “ducks in a row” and can truly begin to gear myself for this fantastic opportunity.
In my next post I intend on hitting the nitty-gritty parts of my specific voyage and plan on getting more in-depth with my specific duties and experiences aboard the Healy. I must take a second to thank everyone who has helped me along the way and provided me support and guidance to make this dream of an opportunity come true.
I look forward to keeping everyone updated on my quest,
Kyle Yusen
