Choosing a Career in the Coast Guard

[@anthonyc7043]

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!

[@CGCareerCentral]

Good luck! You'll do great.

Thanks for all your content is appreciated!

[@erikarivera2935]

Yes, it is a great experience to evaluate option I should have do it younger. ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK.

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 🙏

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.

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

[@SipsAndSeahawks]

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?

[@CGCareerCentral]

Hey sorry I'm going to try to find someone who can help with this question. But good luck in Cape May!

[@JesusSaves734]

Did you graduate basic? I’m looking to go aviation and want to know your experience so far and as a non rate!

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

[@benitomussolini9563]

Nope

[@Dirtythegamer]

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

[@buijohn797]

I am 38 years old, can i join coast guard ?

[@Raul43719]

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.

[@CGCareerCentral]

That's a tough question to answer because everything is situational. I have seen people go to OCS on their first enlistment, so it's definitely possible.

[@Raul43719]

​@@CGCareerCentral Thank you, Is it hard for enlistees to apply for the OCS?

[@CGCareerCentral]

You have to put together a package and then get a Command Endorsement. I'll try to put together a video to answer this question and maybe get someone who's gone through it on the channel.

[@Raul43719]

@@CGCareerCentral Thank you very much for your help.

[@zachwolfen]

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?

[@CGCareerCentral]

I've never heard that before but I'll definitely look into it and get back to you.

[@unfortunate7803]

Whats your sat score

[@zachwolfen]

I scored 1160 on my SAT back in 2017
