So was Jimmy Buffet. There are a lot of famous people, even cartoon characters, that were in the Coast Guard. |

That would be Bluto...
Popeye is an independent sailor (or "sailor man," as he puts it)...Many debate the military service in which Popeye served. In Fleischer's Popeye Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves, Popeye is found guarding his Coast Guard Station. Popeye even tells Ali Baba to "stop in the name of the Coast Guard." Later, other cartoonists place Popeye in other services, such as the Navy and Merchant marines.
