    hey do you mean the CG Academy? Man you get in there and you'll never look back.
    I love to turn you on

    well what i mean is if you can get into the coast guard academy, you'll have free tuition (nice) and i believe you'd have a 5 year committment once you're finished. in that time, you will have traveled to many places and have one helluva ride. it's not for everyone, granted, but you may want to at least check it out and go down for a visit.
    I love to turn you on

    My Brother joined when he was 20. Now he is 38 and about to retire with sweet benefits and money. Now he will get a job out of the coast guard making a boatload more.

    It's tough in the beginning he said though.
    Firefighter seems like great path too. I thought about it, but I have a bad back...
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)
  • Uh i'm in the Navy...i'm not dissing the CG but i can't stand those little bastards...unless they're rescue swimmers. They totally just copy the navy :D

    And if you're wanting to be a firefighter, look up the rate "DC" (Damage Controlmen) That's a firefighter in the navy.

    ok, well I guess DC Is for the CG as well. Here ya go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage_Controlman
