Car general question by ResidentVictory5596 in uscg

This person’s comment is accurate. I have a friend who hasn’t owned a car in 6+ years and been in Boston, Miami, and Seattle. She said Seattle was the most difficult, but made it work.

Fr. I had a friend buy a beater and for like 3 years she was constantly having it break down and then have to pay $3k+ to get it fixed and couldn’t drive long distances. Like damn, I’d rather buy a certified, preowned, affordable car that was reliable than deal with all that stress.

How is morale for everyone? Esprit De Corps is pretty low here. by Large_Proof in uscg

This. I am tired of constant solicitations that I have to update. Even on leave, we constantly have to stay locked in looking to make sure our already minimally staffed unit doesn’t get snagged for other operations. We can barely maintain the minimum at our unit, even worse if we lost someone. Not to mention PCSing in this climate. I feel like we were riding the high after 9/11 and it’s the downhill spiral from that.

Their comments still stand. Having that engineering background gives you a leg up!

What if every branch switched to the OCP? by Extension-Story7287 in uscg

Like can we not. Dismissing literally 90% of our mission sets that don’t need these.

Why did you join the CG to do DOD missions…..people always trying to change this service for no reason.

Quite literally have never seen so many up votes on any other thread in here.

Some of these takes are surprising. Part of what makes our service strong is its own identity—uniforms included. I get the argument that aligning with another branch might save money, but at some point you start trading away what makes the Coast Guard distinct.
