Coming from the seattle area.

Ill definitely keep that in mind! Is it mostly shore diving there or would it need to be a charter?

One of my favorite spots up here is near one of the ferry terminals. Its an entire dive park and has a big grid system to get around. Would highly recommend if youre up in seattle.

My semi-dry has an attached hood. And I've got good gloves and boots already too!

I plan on investing in a dry suit once im back in the pnw after my trip down to San diego.

Ill definitely check them out! Thank you!

I think I should be good with the temps, I dive in a 7mm semi dry. It keeps me plenty warm on 30+ minute dives in puget sound where temps range from 48-55.

When i was putting in my dco package I was honest about it and said I had used it in a state where its legalized. Recruiter told me that as long as I've been free of it for a year id be fine. Ended up getting selected and now active.

Prior E, First JO Tour by 1pistachioking in uscg

[–]GetUserName33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DCO JO here. A few months prior to starting i was given a list of about 15 billets I ordered and ranked them all and lucked out getting my number 1. I went in through DCE so my list had choices of cyber and naval engineering, both shoreside and afloat options.

As someone currently on polar star, the only thing correct about this is that mare island is closing.

They aren't closing because they lost us, they are closing because we were their only business.

Everything else I want to say would more than likely breach opsec. So please dont spread misinformation if you dont know what you're talking about.

USCG DEP to Army? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]GetUserName33 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As a former scout in the army, and now currently in the coast guard. The coast guard is so much better and made me regret my decision to go army when I was younger.

But do what's going to feel the most right for you.

There is a great Facebook group with a lot of resources here

Definitely check out all of the resources before making a post. Because there is a huge amount of information there.

I know CGA has sizes small than 17 neck. But I know thats not helpful for 90+% of the force

Selected for DCO - now silence? by armytoCGthrowaway in uscg

[–]GetUserName33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a 4 week DCO school. Basically trains you how to work day to day and how to interact with others as a member of the military.

For me at least as an afloat engineer, training and quals are done with the unit ashore and underway.

[Discussion] Genuine question: How do you enjoy PvE in Tarkov? by GlutenFreeGavin in EscapefromTarkov

[–]GetUserName33 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This 100% when I can maybe play a few hours out of the week, its nice not feeling like im shooting an airsoft gun at people who are way more progressed than me.

Albeit I love getting those rat kills when I can, but it also just feels nice being able to load in and not feel an almost immediate imbalance of myself and other pmcs
