In this episode of the "Coast To Coasties" Podcast, we sit down again with BOSN Fonville to discuss in depth the world of ATON in the United States Coast Guard. Black Hulls of all sizes are responsible for servicing and maintaining our buoys and aids to navigation throughout the U.S coastal waterways and rivers. Many people have called the world of ATON the hidden gem of the Coast Guard and now is your chance to here a first hand account from the BOSN Fonville who has served on multiple different platforms and districts in the ATON world. We're here to walk you through every step and detail of how we get the buoys out in the water and why they're essential for our civilian mariners and marine transportation system. To everyone interested in joining the Black Hull Mafia, this episode is for you!
