Captain John Pruitt III joins HBH to tell incredible stories of his time in the US Coast Guard, a branch of the military few people know much about.
John’s stories are remarkable. At the start of the Iraq War, he conducted dangerous anti-mining missions and was chased by Iranian Navy missile boats in the Persian Gulf. Furthermore, he spearheaded an enormous undercover cocaine seizure worth over $250 million and led a very surprising search and rescue mission.
Americans are not widely aware that the Coast Guard has the broadest authority of any federal agency. Able to conduct both military and law enforcement missions in the United States and around the world, we were unaware of how crucial the Coast Guard’s role is across US operations.
Captain John Pruitt III is today’s hero behind the headlines.
