Currently 20 year old female. Have 1 year of college classes and currently am studying Clinical Massage Therapy. I’m thinking of joining the coast guard and hopefully do HS. I also was am a competitive swimmer water polo player, lifeguard and water safety instructor and that’s what is really driving my passion to do the Coast Guard. Besides benefits what drives people to join?

How do people deal with sea sickness in the Coast Guard. I've been on a fishing boat medium sized no more than 5 times. I would be fine as long as the boat would be cruising, but once the boat stopped and anchored down, the motion of the boat and the waves hitting the boat is what really gets me dizzy/nauseous. Maybe it's something I can hopefully get used to? What's your advice? And opinion in people getting sea sick.

What if a person who has a bachelor's degree has a few dwi misdemeanors within a 10 year time span but no felonies be given a waiver?

[MrSodaBelly]

can I join with a dui I got 2years ago? I’m 25 and stuck at a federal DOD job I need to step it up. Do you prefer reserve or active? What’s the pros and cons? How do I do this for 4 years and get out and get a decent living in the civilian world? Is there a program to help me get a degree in a certain field paying 70k a year or something? I’m lost. Thanks. Oh and I live in Hawaii it’s expensive as fuck.

I'm 20 and currently in the process of joining the CG Reserves. Boot camp is July 9th. Do you have any training tips or advice on things to know before boot camp? What basic life skills should I know beforehand? I'd join active duty, but I want to finish college first. Wish I had tried joining earlier.

How old would you say is the average age of someone to enlist in coast guard? I’m getting my Bachelors and Masters, and I’ll be 23 by the time that’s over...is that a late start for an enlisted? I know it’s not past the age limit, but in general will I be older than everyone?

[jamesberns]

What type of physical condition do you have to be in order to join? What type of water training do they do? I'm only 14 and i don't really know how to swim I'm not really strong but I'm starting training but I wanna be able to do that type of training. Where are some if the places that you get deployed tos?
