In the 1990s one of my friends was in the coast guard based at Portsmouth and from what he always told me, it sounded like most 'Coasties' weren't eager to make everyday boardings. They were more excited for the big time drug busts and mid-hurricane rescues they'd seen in the USCG's recruitment ads, and otherwise "trying to look busy" when a superior officer was nearby. From what I heard it sounded like they didn't especially enjoy working alongside the NHMP too much, sounded like the MPs were over-eager "wannabe's" who were in the way more than anything.

Granted, I'm only repeating this from stories he told, and it's been 10 years since he was in the CG so things may have changed.
