I am planning on joining the us coast guard after high school. I have 2 more years of school left .

I just bought my son, your book, the Coast Guard Boot Camp survival guide. It arrives from Amazon tomorrow. He’s been doing his homework getting excited for his enlistment date. I’m sure he will get a lot of valuable information from your book.

I have been on the journey to becoming a Coast guardsman for about a month now and I finally went through my first day of MEPS. Unfortunately I’m having to deal with some medical issues from when I was five years old. Wish me luck on getting accepted! Thanks for the great informational videos:)

Can you do a video comparing officer to enlisted, or interview an officer about what their day to day job is like. Also your videos are great and very informative and give a lot of insight into what it is actually like being in the US CG.
Thank you

I am currently in the process of talking to a recruiter and should be off to MEPS very soon! Thanks for all the great videos that have helped me prepare so far!

My son does first(?) swear in Thursday and is shipping out June 11th, two weeks after graduation. Your videos and book have been very helpful. Truth above about medical records, routine appendectomy two years ago required COMPLETE medical records from hospital. His recruiter is excellent, it's just not a speedy process.

Currently waiting for medical records review and then medical at MEPS, super excited. An my recruiter in Miami has been absolutely amazing!

I plan on joining after I get married in 2024. I’ve always wanted to join. You’ve helped a lot in my journey. I’m proud to say I finally got the book and I’m so happy to start training and studying! Thank you Julian for making these videos!

"For me while i was in Florida, I had to drive an hour up to Tampa..." Well I have to drive 5 Hours to new Orleans to see my recruiter.

"Your next-door neighbor is probably an army recruiter." LMAO so true lol.

I'm currently a senior in college and I want to pursue a career in the military. I've mainly been interested in either the Air Force or the Coast Guard.

[trindamarie]

[jonathanarcos]

Thank you so much for this video, I wanna go to the coast guard after I graduate and you have been a big help

[daiserbeams_adventures]

Another solid video! I plan on joining if all goes well in 6 months. Wanting to shoot high for AST. My worst flaw is running.

[DevynPlaysGames]

I hope to either be through or in basic training by my birthday next year (August). I got things I need to sort out before I'll be ready, and I think a year of prepping should be suitable

[chucknorris-pwjc]

hey julian i have no interest in joining but you do a great job explaining and anyone who is joining should watch all your videos

[Coconutdoggoz]

It’s been an interesting journey trying to join. I’m currently waiting for a medical waiver. I anticipate to join but I understand the Coast Guard is picky with recruites. Best of luck to the other recruties joining!
