From AF to CG: U.S. Air Force vs U.S. Coast Guard Boot Camp

[@richardh4406]

no one ever leaves the Coast Guard to join another military service

BEAST week was fun. I saw fun because my brother is in the Marines. Every time I thought "This sucks", I remembered my poor brother during the crucible. The Air Force has been kind to me so far, but I am part of the Coast Guard Aux, which is a unicorn in itself. So I am thankful every day that my current situation is a blessing. Semper Paratus and Fly, Fight, Win to those who are interested in the armed services here in the United States of America.

[@brianholmes1812]

I really appreciate him putting into perspective why things are done in bootcamp. A lot of it can seem a bit pointless in the moment but if you take a wide look at why its done it makes a lot more sense

[@reesanator1c6]

Thank you Brian. I try to provide as much information for those trying to make the choice, in hopes that they can make a better informed decision.

[@telephonerock]

Great video! I have 2 weeks of leave coming up if you need to interview a Marine to Coastie.

[@trent_goss]

Hey man, which one do you like more uscg or usmc?

[@LuisTorres-lo8qj]

We are awaiting for the second part.

[@trevorwalden6097]

Damn, military brat current Air Force, looking into the Coast Guard. This video was DEFINITELY made for me 🤘 Edit: you'd be happy to know BEAST week wasn't taken away from AF basic, in fact it's the culminating week of training now with a challenge at the end called "the villiage"

[@tc1uscg65]

Going from configuring and dealing with Sat's vs working on outboards is night and day. Hope this young man's experience and future with the CG are rewarding. Retired RM/TC sends.

[@YoungVeteran2023]

Beast Week is certainly still happening as of September 2019.

[@joewesolowski5917]

If you can get some info and do a video on Coast Guard DEPOT that would be awesome. I can’t find much info out there on it.🤙🏼

[@donnydekenipp9344]

same I really want to know more about what those 3 weeks are like

[@Brosefina]

Just watched the coast guard boot camp vid and wanted to know Do cc’s try to trick you with responding like with go away and carry on I know you don’t respond to carry on but if a cc says go away do you gotta respond aye aye petty offficer

[@ceebee2]

Chris Gaffney only enlisted are Petty Officers. Commissioned officers are Sir and Ma’am; in the CG if you called a PO Sir or Ma’am OR called a commissioned officer “Petty Officer” you’d get your @$$ lit up faster than the 4th of July.

[@codyboy221]

Great interview

[@trevorwalden6097]

Coast Guard DEPOT vid would be excellent!

[@jeffwattner9737]

Was there sniper position? Pulling line? Getting beat? Passing sea bags? Ramp? Probation? rack inspections? Rocs? Getting it all day everyday, fire fire?

[@bluie.]

There is ramp, pronbation, and fire fire fire. Im don't think you get beat. Fire fire fire once in a while, or ifnyou did something wrong. Not sure about others. Hope I helped!

[@MrTeamEnvi]

How does housing work with the coast guard after boot camp, more specifically living on base or barracks?

[@taylorbusche6415]

Artsy Pictures it depends on where you are stationed you could get BAS (which is a housing allowance), live on a cutter or get government leased housing.

[@MrSodaBelly]

Artsy Pictures at what rank? Cuz I thought u can’t leave the barracks unless you’re an E3 or E4 right?

[@alan_smasher]

If you join the Air Force reserve and choose to do more work volunteering and potentially going on a deployment, are you still likely to be frowned upon by not doing the college thing even if you in the reserves? That was a shocker to me how they will tend to push that on you if you're not doing it being active. It definitely made me lean more towards the coast guard.

[@TeamJDTgaming]

Hey man I got a question! I qualify for the AF but I haven't met with a recruiter yet, they said they'll call me in 2 weeks can I smoke until then? Since they changed the rules?

Is it possible to stay at your first station forever or do you have to move to another state within three years?

[@shaojieshi47]

You cannot stay in the station forever ,normally around 3-year-old 4 years you will get a pick list it might have units in the same state but it really depends but normally it will have a couple in the same state. U will transfer every 3 or 4 years.

[@bluie.]

How many years have you been in coast guard?

[@reesanator1c6]

Late Response, many long 2 years late. As of now I have 8 years in now.

[@TheNinja3456]

Hi have a question can you still get BAH even if you’re not married and how long do you have to wait to receive it?

[@TheNinja3456]

Julian Miyata Do land units have a higher chance of receiving Bah? Thanks for responding by the way 🙂
