US Coast Guard Brat ~ Engraved Shelf Sitter ~ Child of USCG Active Member or Veteran ~ 2.5" x 7" MDF ~ No Sea Spray Included!

🛟 USCG Brat Shelf Sitter – Raised on Rescue Drills and Sea Shanties! 🌊
“Semper Paratus… and Always Packed for the Next Move.”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

If your childhood memories involve boats, buoys, lighthouses, and learning to yell “Sir, yes sir!” before you could walk, then congratulations—you’re a USCG Brat, and this engraved shelf sitter is the salty little tribute you didn’t know you needed.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Whether you spent your younger years stationed near the coast (or not-so-conveniently far from it), riding out hurricanes like a champ, or just learned that “Always Ready” applies to literally everything, this 2.5" x 7" x .5" shelf sitter is your badge of nautical honor.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Made from durable MDF (because just like Coastie kids, it’s engineered to survive the unpredictable), and featuring a textured antique white finish, this sign is built for coastal chaos, family pride, and decades of inside jokes about orange boats and search-and-rescue missions.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

⚓ Why This Shelf Sitter Belongs in Every Coastie Brat's Quarters

✔ Compact & Command-Ready – At just 2.5" x 7", it fits right in whether you’re in base housing, a bunk room, or a guest room decorated in 100% “nautical chic” you didn’t even choose.

✔ Made from MDF – Not wood, but tougher than driftwood in a nor’easter. MDF stands for “My Durable Furniture”—or at least it should.

✔ Crisply Routed Lettering – We don’t do decals or cheap print here. Each letter is engraved deep, just like the pride you feel every time you hear someone shout “Coast Guard!”

✔ Antique White Finish with Mild Texture – Smooth, clean, and classy—just like your Coast Guard parent in their dress whites on inspection day (you remember the starch smell, don’t lie).

✔ PCS-Proof and Deployment-Tested – This sign can weather more moves than your Coastie parent did boat inspections.

🛟 For the Kids Who Grew Up with Buoyancy and Backbone

🌊 For the Brat who could spot a 47-footer before they could spot their school bus – And always knew what “rescue-ready” meant before recess.

🎒 For the kid who changed schools as often as the tide – But always knew how to make friends fast, even if just until the next duty station.

🚨 For the one who could fall asleep to the sound of a foghorn or a radio check – And probably knew what "SAR" meant by age 7.

💼 For the adult Coastie Brat who still gets emotional near harbors and helicopter pads – Because those weren’t just places—they were home.

📦 For the Brat who could prep for a hurricane faster than a 10-minute warning could hit the coast – And had their emergency kit color-coded.
