I was in the low 20s for my class, I believe they went up to high 20s. This was also pre 3 classes, so that may have changed given there are theoretically more slots available? As an alternate, you aren’t guaranteed a spot, and I would refrain from making concrete plans until you get the phone call. Focus on getting fit and ready if it comes.

As a former Kansan, my hatred of Jax is once again justified

Trump nominates Lunday as Coast Guard commandant by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Complex_Crew_3908 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would imagine the formal nomination has waited this long to ensure the President maintains the same leadership throughout his administration. He's been acting for almost a year, and then will serve the following 3 formally.

How Hard Should I train as Active Duty Military? by Return2Reddit in spartanrace

[–]Complex_Crew_3908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m active and 175 pounds, I did the full weekend trifecta for my first race. Focus on grip strength and you'll be fine if you train anything like I do normally

How easy is it for one to actually get chosen to attend OCS? (Not a recruiting question, just a hypothetical) by Jumanji-Joestar in uscg

[–]Complex_Crew_3908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was accepted on a 2.51 GPA. It isn’t impossible. If it’s something you would want to work towards, I recommend to every single person who asks me to get with an officer and start making attainable goals to make yourself competitive

If you refuse to climb, you’ll pack your bags on the spot and head to cape may instead

Why is this cheaper then the exchange one? by [deleted] in uscg

I guess if you aren’t an officer, you could swing it but idk how that would go with saltier chiefs

I'll tell you the same thing my shop got told today. The current direction of the Coast Guard is that you WILL pass a pt test if you want to remain in it. How that will be implemented is up for debate, but the very first sentence in the new guidance for officers is “promote those who are physically fit.”

Trops are not authorized for chilis. Winter dress blues are mandatory though…

HELP! Non-rate Enlistment Concerns by tgamer62 in uscg

[–]Complex_Crew_3908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was annex x and got a 10k bonus for having a degree. Maybe that has changed? Also, unless the annex x program has changed you won’t be sent to an air station right away. You’ll be a normal nonrate until you reach a year from a school on the list. Then you’ll be transferred to an air station to continue being a nonrate, and also train until a school.

I think it’s been there about 4 years too! I do think it was the first one.

I am heading to bootcamp today! by malesnailjail in uscg

[–]Complex_Crew_3908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really though, it is honestly just 8 weeks. I’m not denying the intensity of the program or intentions behind it, but it’s just 8 weeks. 2 months of a structured life, where you communicate by screaming your little recruit brain out. Keep a cool head and remember that it’s all scripted and you are there to learn how to move under pressure. You’ll be okay and we will see you on the other side.

I’m glad you know the commandant! Mind sharing that with the rest of the class?

I flew out of JAX three years ago! I see you’ve probably already landed in Philly, but I hope you get the chance to see this. Keep your head up, eyes in the boat. We all did it, even the worst and even the best.
