Join the Coast Guard

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!

I want to join as soon as I get out of school.

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!

Since I’m not in college anymore I have nothing better to do with my time. Plus I’ll finally get the hell out of Connecticut. Now if only I can find that damn recruiting station.

i would love to know how in the hell people wake up and get there lives handed to them ?not that i want it handed but hell give me a fighting chance at it i want to be in he coast guard so bad it hurts, i want to be something more than my parents and more than ,...just ordianry, i don;t ever want to just be ok, but i’m working very hard and trying to do what i can,...
i’m going to the gym at 5:30 in the morning adn at 6:00 at night i’m watching my food and how much and i am going to do this i will be better…

I used to be in the Army. I got out with a disability, which has since gotten better. But my Re-Entry code is 4 which means “fuck you”

good thing for someone with no other options

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!
