help!!! where to get that 0:33 thing-for-pants idk 😥 sry my english is bad

been watching your videos for a bit, I'm taking the ASVAB next month! Aiming for Aviation. Thanks for your videos and congrats on your recent marriage!

39 and starting my recruitment process!

My VE+AR is 99. Can I still try to become a ME or do I need to make it to 100?

Thank you dude!

This answered all my questions!!! Thank you so much! Have been chasing down recruiters to get some answers.

If you have a college degree before going into any branch then by all means go the officer route if the opportunity presents itself. I went directly to OTS with a degree in finance (investments, banking etc) they made me a POL officer and I loved it! Simple equation was I took care of my troops and they took care of me. I did their taxes, got them on separate rations, kept them off CQ duty and got them hats that said POL not Supply Sqdn. One hand washed the other! Had great NCOs everywhere I went except one and he had enough 'juice' at TAC Hq to bail out before I had to write an APR. Was in from '63 to '84. In this time frame I never had a man (no women in POL, had to be 5'9" and 160 pounds) with a four year degree.

my army brain can't comprehend lol

Thank you for this video series. It was easily one of the, if not the most informative videos on this particular subject.

Long story short if you join the coastguard looking for law enforcement (BM)-“Boatswains mate” is the road to go if you want to be in charge of a unit and be the boss maritime enforcement is the road to go

I never made the connection between not making rank and not getting a full pension. Ouch!

Dude! Write yourself a script so you don’t keep repeating yourself.

Thank you. u asked chief great questions. very informative if saw this video 7 research hours ago i would’ve been satisfied lol researching this specific topic is hard. not a lot of information specially what im looking for which is going to me psu reserve from civ pd . youtube needs to recommend u more. ur a great asset to the coast guard

For god sakes stop saying um

I will be sent to the bootcamp this August and I would like to get that top pick with the option of going to Bahrain since i did work there as a teacher for 7 yrs.

Went in in 1963. They treat u fairly Get in shape

It’s not for everyone. You tried

Thanks for the tip

I was pleased with myself for writing a good score on the ASVAB (this was early 1987). My CG recruiter let me know that the test was tailored for people who had a solid 8th grade education. At that time I had a couple of years of college under my belt. I went on to become an FT in the Coast Guard. It wasn't too many years later that I discovered that I made an extremely bad career move. The Coast Guard hated FTs and only tolerated us due to receiving NAVORD (Navy Ordnance) money. I cannot think of a worse job in the CG than being a MK92 FCS technician on a '270 ('Famous' Class) cutter.

Which is better reserve or active?

Could you exchange the 2 days per month of drilling for an entire month of batch drilling?

I wanna know why I should join the coast guard vs the national guard

Good video felt like you spoke directly to me

Can you join if you were addicted to substances ??

Say if you have a wife and a kid would they be able to be close to you or are you just gone for 24 weeks

gay

I think it would be hard to be a true blue believer in one faith, but then be called on to represent a faith that you may not believe in.

In the Navy SK is one of the best rates available. EVERYBODY wants to stay in the good graces of the SK, even the captain.

I wish you could have included more about how well these translate into a profession after the CG

24, college degree just went to meps applying for OCS wish me luck

If you have offshore experience would it be a good move to join coast guard in your 30's

“Never ask a BM if you should be a BM.”

I’ve got one question: why do they say Coast Guard is #1? Someone just told me the army is the chain of command. So I’m wondering what’s meant by the people saying “coast guard is #1”

I will be 36 this year. Is it too late in life to make the most of becoming an Officer?

What if you have short hair and can’t put it in a bun?

It’s great to see chief lakose again. I shipped in with India-204 but fell out of company just before indoc weekend, after getting squared away at medical I formed back up with the company as they went to go to their squad at but was told to hang back because I’d be splitting off to rhe. My seabag’s straps had other plans however and came undone and dropped off me and I had to take a moment to resecure it but fell behind 30 yards or so from the formation. Upon chief seeing me he had a strong word with one of the other cc’s there about how they managed to let someone slip out without noticing it, but then came back and made sure everything was alright and when I tried to explain to him my strap busted on me in broken and heavy breathing recruit speak, he just told me not to worry about it…. It felt so human for a moment after a long weekend of stress and fuckups. He was the same guy who was chastising me being an idiot and asking if I could go look for my lock combs paper after I lost it or something, it’s been long enough I’ve forgotten lol. I really liked him, cc’s often times are people I found myself looking up to despite the job of having to be a hardass. Senior Chief Libstaff was another one I looked up to, as well as Petty Officer Demond especially. Demond made RHE into such a great program given the circumstances and I kinda regret not sandbagging an extra week in RHE to join him in Mike-204 in hindsight, but oh well. It’s because of my experience with some amazing cc’s that despite my first go around being rough and ultimately 8 weeks of being tossed around in the system a bit, I’ve been told by the chief at my recruiting office to wait a year to the day before coming back to reenlist, so I plan on doing exactly that.

35 yrs old and losing 17 lbs before DEP and schedule of boot camp😅😅

do you know about transgender soilder's ? if it is safe for us ?

Cinderella liberty ?

Served on two 270’s in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Don’t eat breakfast the morning of your first patrol. Most likely you’re going to be in the head up chucking it shortly after getting underway!🤮

drop your pants...get it up...yeah definitely a military video

Aviation all the way. AMT & AET are great career choices. I was an AMT and loved it!

I’m 35 and want to enlist active. I do wonder if I’m too old.

When I joined, I was told by my recruiter that you can’t be stationed near your home town. It’s probably changed now

good info i appreciate it very much dude

Really helpful, thanks! Also somewhat unrelated but I am a skinny guy with high metabolism considering joining the coast guard. In your personal opinion, even though you're no longer military, what would be some tips and advice you would give to someone if you were asked this question?

The running joke when I was in ‘90-‘94 was if you can’t make rate then boatswain mate. I left as a QM2 before the rate was absorbed into OS/BM. Back then BM was a deck force rating whereas QM was the bridge/nav job.

I either want IT or CMS like you or maybe ET.
