Last night I was able to watch the Deepwater Horizon movie at a Coast Guard screening.
A little background, I separated from the Coast Guard in 2011. During the summer of 2010 I was deployed to the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.
To say that it was a valuable learning experience would be an understatement.
For the most part I filed away the memories and hadn't really reflected on that summer, for years.
Seeing the movie brought a lot back.
They did an excellent job and I 100% recommend it.
That I saw the movie sitting next to a guy I worked with during the spill (he was at an Incident Command Post while I was at the Unified Area Command) made it more special.
