What it's like being an Operations Specialist (OS) in the U.S Coast Guard - With OS3 Steph Deravel

In this episode of the "Coast To Coasties" podcast, I sit down with Operations Specialist 3rd Class Steph Deravel to discuss her 2 years so far in the U.S Coast Guard. We discuss her transfer from enlisting as a reservist to switching to active duty while in bootcamp, her time as a non rate on a buoy tender, and now her career as an Operations Specialist at a shoreside Sector. She has great insight on the life of an OS at sector for day to day operations and how command structure works in the OS world. Anyone interested in Buoy Tenders or the Operations Specialist rate, tune into this episode to hear Steph!
