My sister (PO3 Jones) is an OS down in Corpus Christi – and she’s been a huge inspiration. I visited her recently and saw the hangar she works in, the ET shop…it made me really want to get out of the office and join up!
How to join the Coast Guard
How I did it: Contact a recruiter...do a ton of paperwork...take asvab...get a MEPS physical...sign your life away...get extremly nervous about the decision you've made...go to bootcamp...graduate bootcamp.
Lessons & tips: If you're interested in any of the critical rates (job specialties), ask your recruiter about gauranteed 'A' School, because the whole non-rate thing is a load of crap.

I want to join the coast guard becuase I grew up on the oregon coast and have always been freinds with coast guard people. They have saved a few of my freinds plus they throw sic parties.

I went to the recruiting office today and filled out a bunch of paper work. Because I’m currently sick with bronchitis, and an ear infection, which I’m taking antibiotics for, I won’t be able to get my physical or take my ASVAB for a couple of weeks. I’m not worried about either. I have a clean bill of health, and I’ve already take the ASVAB twice when I was in highschool. I scored in the 84th percentile the first time around and the 92sn percentile the second time. I’m sure I’ll score higher. All I need to do is get a new copy of my SS Card, and I’m good to go. After that I can take the oath at anytime, I’ll enter the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) and I’ll leave for Camp May in late August early September.
In the mean time I need to whip my ass in shape!

The best part of my job was hanging outside a helicopter on a 50+ foot drop to a rock in the middle of the ocean, Servicing Lighthouses, crossing the Columbia Bar, and running ‘Becky’ drills in the engine room!
