What does it mean to be a puddle pirate

At its core, being a Puddle Pirate is about having a good-natured sense of humor. The nickname, affectionately used within the Coast Guard, reflects a lighthearted take on the often-serious nature of the military service. Coast Guard members, despite their critical roles in safeguarding our waters and responding to emergencies, never lose their ability to laugh at themselves and find joy in their work. This sense of humor helps foster camaraderie and makes the toughest days more bearable.
