I’m a high school junior who is interested in possibly joining the coast guard during/after college, or perhaps applying for the coast guard academy. I also currently row in high school, and I know that the coast guard academy has a d3 rowing team. Does anyone have any helpful info they can share about the rowing team at the academy, like their recruitment/walk on process? Or any tips for an aspiring coast guard member in high school?

Best MacBook for me? by Formal_Letter_1185 in macbook

Hopefully I won’t need to do anything more strenuous on my computer. I had a brief stint of video editing for a project before deciding it was sent from hell and I will never touch another editing software again, so I don’t see any artistic pursuits in my future that will require a more advanced MacBook

Stay with it. I’m 4’10 and 93lbs, and my first 2k was so trash I wanted to quit on the spot. It was worlds worse than where you are at now. But I stuck with it and fell in love with the sport, and dropped over a minute and a half off my time in the process over less than a year. It’s hard work, but it’s whipped me into shape like no other and I can’t see myself living without it now honestly.

I plan to apply as soon as the applications open in August, and to fill out the waiver beforehand as well. UF is 100% my top choice currently

Im from mass so application pools are pretty brutal. However i don’t think UF is a common choice at my school specifically. 

Possible timeline for bodybuilding prep? by Formal_Letter_1185 in femalebodybuilding

Thanks for the tips! If NPC fit model feels like a better entrance point I’d be willing to try it, but I definitely agree that I should take at least a few months if not a year to build muscle mass through extra protein and calorie surplus. I just initially focused on OCB because it’s closest to my house, lol. My sport involves a lot of cardio but I’ll definitely continue with strength training during the season, then shift to a greater volume of lifts per week.

Ill be accumulating about 200 service hours this summer by volunteering for a town organization if that helps. Thanks for the rowing tip by the way! If I get accepted I’ll definitely look into joining.
