...in the USCG Global Address List.

Nor would a CG officer commissioned in 1985 (as "Ryan" claims) be still on active duty as a LCDR. YearGroup 85 officers are all post-continuation Captains or Flag Officers. And no, it's not possible he wasn't promoted and the CG just let him stay. The CG has an "up or out" system so "Ryan" would have been forced out about ten years ago.

His story is pure BS.
