Choosing a Career in the Coast Guard

Today we're answering a question about whether it's worth looking into the Coast Guard, and what the process of joining looks like.

Leaving for Cape May on Tuesday and I’m going to choose ME even though the waiting list is a little lengthy. Your videos have been so helpful!

Thanks for responding to my comment. I’m working on reaching a recruiter rn but I’ll definitely do some more research. You have no idea how much this helps 🙏

Can i go in as a BM and participate in flight school or is that restricted for certain rates?

Thanks for the videos! Im 33 years old and working on the process of being cleared to go to MEPS, just providing documents they request and waiting for their responses. I have a couple questions for you. 1. If I do really well on the ASVAB will I get a chance to talk to other branches that might be interested in me? (I expect to do very well-have been consistently getting perfect or near perfect on almost every section on the Kaplan practice exams) also are there any other special considerations for very high scorers? 2. My girlfriend is concerned about how soon we will be able to start living together again after I ship out to boot camp. She is a nurse and could get a job anywhere easily. We have a house together now. Any input? Thanks again for taking the time for these videos.

Hey! Enjoying the videos. Im shipping over to Cape May in less than a week after months of processing. Graduating in December. What do you know about job enjoyment in Aviation? Mainly AET and how does the first deployment location work? I know you tell them where you want to go but how likely is it you get sent where you want?

A couple of years ago they had two-year contracts, are they still offering them?

Hello, I am trying to enlist in the next few weeks. I have a university degree but I am not a citizen. In your opinion is it difficult or impossible to go to OCS on my first 4-year contract? I would like to apply to go immediately after obtaining my citizenship. Do you recommend that I not apply to any school and wait for my citizenship? Thank you very much for your videos.

I was told by a recruiter that my SAT score is high enough that I am exempt from taking the ASVAB can you confirm that this could be the case?

Do you have a roommate after A school or do you get your own room?
