[@melissamckay1293]

So, one of the questions you asked was "do you think this is for show?" I can tell you from experience that it was not. A typical day at boot camp when I went through 4 years ago would consist of at minimum 3 "fire drills", in addition to a variety of holding items (books, canteens, rifles) above your head or directly in front of you. And yes if you got caught slacking you started all over and we'd say "Thank you Shipmate, Thank you". Meal times were stressful. You couldnt look up from your plate, you had to follow traffic patterns and hope that you didn't get stopped by one of the CCs for questioning. You would get stopped outside while walking and questioned by random CCs who were in your path. The CCs actually have time limits for each "punishment" (holding water bottles, holding mattresses, holding line, etc) that they follow, so there are limitations on what they can do. Also for clarification, the Coast Guard is not in the Department of Defense, however, it is a branch of the military serving under the Department of Homeland Security. There are policies and documents as proof describing it as such.

[@freezinweasle1]

Agreed. I went through USCG boot camp at Cape May in Feb 1977. It is no cake walk today and back then it was down right abusive. But, we survived. Thank you shipmate for your service. Retired BM1 in 1997. The Coast Guard. Because the Navy needs heroes.

The Coast Guard is a branch of the military and is defined by Title 14 of the United States Code: The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy.

[@joegibson4946]

Just to clarify. The Coast Guard "was established January 28, 1915" is a little misleading. The law "establishing" the Coast Guard actually combined the Revenue Cutter Service (established on Aug. 4, 1790) the Lifesaving Service (established in 1848) and renamed them as the U.S. Coast Guard. That's why the Coast Guard considers it's beginning to be Aug. 4, 1790. Originally, the Revenue Cutter Service operated under the Treasury Department and its main mission was to stop smuggling. Because of that and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which forbids the use of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force for domestic law enforcement. The only exceptions are each state's National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard which is not a full time organization under the Department of Defense. As more peacetime responsibilities were added to the Coast Guard it was decided to move control from the Department of Treasury to the Department of Transportation in 1967. The Coast Guard was moved into the newly created Department of Homeland Security in 2003 because of its law enforcement missions.

[@flanagamer]

The Coast Guard is EXTREMELY competitive though, and definitely the hardest branch to enlist in. You basically can’t have any debt either.

[@ForgottenMan1]

The reason the Coast Guard is under DHS now [it’s been under various dept’s at various times] rather than DOD is basically Constitutional. The U.S. Constitution places limits on the rest of the U.S. military as to how they are allowed to interact with our civilian population; pre-Revolution historical experience with the British military served to inform this. USCG peacetime operations “our ‘day’ job” require closer interaction than is typical for the other services.

TECHNICALLY, the Coast Guard is absolutely a branch of the military. They do not fall under the DoD, you are right. However, the USCG, as outlined in the law that established it, 14 USC 101 (formerly 14 USC 1) which states: "The Coast Guard, established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times." They follow the same rank and pay structure. An officer of higher grade shall be saluted by members of the other services. They receive a commission from the POTUS, just as every other officer in the US military. Members of the USCG have fought in every conflict in US history, and plenty have died or been wounded in combat. The infamous picture depicting the landings at Normandy, "Into the Jaws of Death" was taken by a Coast Guard Coxswain from his higgins boat on 06 Jun 1944.

John here on wifeys computer. Was in the Guard from 1963 to 1967.

CG is the real deal and if you are planning on sitting around then the Guard is NOT for you. If you want responsibility then the CG will surely give it to you and often when you least expect it.

I'm sure that it wasn't your intention to come across this way, but just to be clear; the USCG is a branch of the United States Military. It is under the umbrella of DHS not DoD like you said but it is a branch of the military. There are USCG members deployed overseas on Navy ships and there is USCG intelligence deployed in many countries across the world. The same oath is taken when you swear in, you're under contract, wether you're enlisted or commissioned, etc.

thank you for this reply! A lot of people aren't aware of these roles, and the reasons. CG can act as Law Enforcement because CG isn't under DOD, but under DHS, for years were under Treasury, then under Transportation. DHS makes a whole lot of sense, but so did placing CG under the other two. From the start, when there was no Navy, or any other armed force in the US, (All the revolutionary services being disbanded) there was only the Revenue Cutter Service (Revenue Marine, and later Coast Guard) as an armed force for USA . The first and primary role was to ensure that revenue was collected on imports, along with battling Piracy. There are actually 7 Military Branches, 8 with Space Force. Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, NOAA, PHS, and Merchant Marines. Of these 8, so far, 5 are armed forces. Military means under the jurisdiction of Uniform Code Of Military Justice UCMJ. Under the War Powers act the CG is absorbed into the Navy, which is why all CG Cutters are trained to Naval standards. and ships are maintained accordingly.

To clarify the misinformation here: there is no "Department of the Military".

The Coast Guard became a part of the military under Title 14 of the United States Code in 1915 "The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times."

First of all, it's the DOD or Department of Defense. The US Coast Guard is under Homeland Security. It used to be under the Department of Transportation in the past. However, the US Coast Guard has been involved in EVERY WAR that involved the United States. During wartime, it operates under the US Navy. Unlike the other military branches, the USCG can arrest civilians. Although the USCG has taken steps to be more integrated with other maritime branches of the military, Coast Guard is "rescue and security-oriented," while the Navy is combat-oriented. With all said, basic training is not soft and is not like a simple police academy. Some of the most dangerous rescue missions have been accomplished by the Coast Guard. Therefore, training and standards are strict. Semper Paratus, Coasties!

Considering joining the USCG as a Boatswain Mate or a Rescue Swimmer to help during natural disasters and assist on the coast and be near home. I was mainly wanting to be a Officer and get a scholarship while in college but the USCG doesn’t offer that which is sad, but I’d like a career with the USCG and still considering it for a while.
