What its like being a rescue swimmer in the Coast Guard

[@donniegmg7695]

Just took my asvab and passed to get in the coast Guard looking to go in as BM, since ME is closed, I’ve been watching you for the longest and you really have helped me along the journey....THANK YOU🙏🇺🇸!

ezpz I got a 96 as a HS drop-out taking the USN version (100 max) then got my GED the next week. A 96 qualifies for any of the 60 some odd billets (jobs) they offered (nuke too). If you get it; No regular duty section no dumping trashcans.. it's nice.

You should possibly make a video with a Coast Guard Diver like you did with the AST because there’s barely any information about them on the internet. Thank you and keep up the great work!

These videos are great. Would love to see someone who does MSRT

good data but do check out the Navy's NEC8215. I loved it and they have been doing it much longer than the coasties and while 1000's of miles offshore. My entire class was doing 21 pull-ups and the minimum required is 4 so be careful what you volunteer for. :) We could do 50 one arm push-ups on either side. fafo. We also had to outswim the SEALS on required timed distance. We could use the crawl but most used the same strokes the SEALS had to use (side and breast). I was in the very first Navy SAR class which had non-aircrew 'boat swimmers' in it so I was also in the longest USN SAR class ever convened. All of us early arrivals worked out daily and increased the numbers waiting on the boat swimmers to show up for weeks. When they all arrived; We just started over at 15 count literally yawning at the workout. Dare to care. Graduates can do the 'SEAL burnout' workout with ease. day to day? practice, practice, practice, look good, prep and wait. lol The coasties WILL stay closer to terra firma/shallow water if that is an issue to you.

Love this little series man! Thank you for all this info. Really waiting for the last answer on this video about which jobs being a rescue swimmer can be lined up post service.. it’s been a lingering concern in my consideration of becoming a swimmer!

[@j_torres9566]

Sounds super fun I hope I make it🤙🏻

[@tmgrtl]

Any chance you can do a video about the reservist side of the CG? I'm in the middle of the enlistment process and your content has been super helpful. Thanks!

[@corydonathan9169]

Waiting on the call from my recruiter about when I'm going to MEPS. Shooting to be an AST so I can make my friends and family proud!

[@daiserbeams_adventures7486]

Cory Donathan don’t forget they all know who helps them through, the man upstairs! Support from family is super amazing as well! Good luck bro I’ll be behind ya!!

[@Bruh-ty5ql]

[@Name-vu5nj]

Did you ever do it ?

[@unknownguy8202]

You should do this same type of video but for BM

[@mitchhile44]

Great video thanks 😃

[@TaraSueSalusso]

Hi. I’ve been really watching your rescue swimmer series. I’m this one, we didn’t get an answer to the last question. Which was, what are the employment opportunities out there after you leave a rescue swimmer position? can you please tell me what that was? Thank you.

[@ricardocoradeghini9427]

What if you already have your NREMT before hand? I've heard that as long as you have a national certification then you keep it and use it in the Coast Guard. Would you have to do the 6 week EMT course in California if you already have your NREMT certification?

[@sethheaddress2651]

No, you might make rank out of it.

[@TridentLion]

Would this be a good job if you have a wife and kids? If not what jobs in the CG are good for families. Like be home most nights and days off with fam

[@madisonjohnson5390]

I saw the link for the AST kit in the description but it’s not linking to anything. Do you have another link?

[@eastotv765]

ATaclete makes one

[@tonio427lostone3]
