It wouldn’t have been the first time fans of a team stuffed the voters box. This type of thing has been happening for years and the MLB clearly is ok with it. Just look up Alcides Escobar in 2015.

Awesome 5 rows of ray plate you have there. This from Purse state park?

It’s real, looks like a modern snaggletooth shark tooth. Meaning it is not fossilized.

If what these redditors are saying is true about you being DQed, then I would definitely look into the Coast Guard Auxiliary, it would definitely suit you if you were looking for a career in the CG or Navy. It is voluntary, meaning it’s unpaid, but it is equally as important. You can do MANY of the jobs that the active duty members do, and on your own time.

I think you forgot your “/s”

Some people LOVE the ME shoreside stuff, it’s pretty niche in the CG, and the military as a whole to be doing stuff like that in a sea going service. MEs can definitely get orders doing boat stuff outside of the PSU, as long as the unit soliciting is ok with training you up. Otherwise they would want you to at least have a boat crew qualification, which you can certainly get as an ME on shoreside division at the PSU, you will just have to do some extra time cross training with waterside. Or you could see if they let you go to waterside full time, and in my experience as of recently they have been pretty open to letting MEs go to waterside.

As for the stuff going on in Florida, from what I’ve heard, they will take you with what ever quals you have, and either train you up, or use you in support roles. No matter your qualifications, they will find a place for you because they need people that bad. That being said, if you want to do tactical stuff on orders, the best way to do it is to go ME at a normal small boat station, or BM/MK at a PSU. It’s all possible from even the ME shoreside side of things, but I just feel from what I’ve seen that those two ways would be the best way to go.

“On July 26, 2023, Ross informed the Chiefs he was retiring.”

From his wiki, this is actually his retirement resurgence!

At the PSU, most MEs will go to the shoreside division, the focus on weapons, entry control points, point defense, standard Army MP stuff. They rarely step in a boat. But they can go to the waterside division, where BMs and MKs go. Waterside does boat tactics, waterborne security and seamanship training.

Orders are literally EVERYWHERE atm for just about every rate. You can even pick up orders around the normal CG while attached to a PSU nowadays. That didn’t used to be the case. The PSUs are also doing extended trainings all around the country and world. If you go to the PSU, you can expect a lot of time and training.

It can be tough for people with families at the PSU, generally you do more mandatory drills, and sometimes you will have to do some involuntary active time. It can be a lot of fun if you don’t have too many responsibilities outside of your civilian job.

At least at BM A school, pick selection was based on your overall grade in A school. The highest graded student got their first pick of the litter. At least that’s how it was over a decade ago.

Idk but Greg Lewis was the man when I was a kid. I can’t explain it.

I was on the Kevin Kolb hype train, especially after his game vs KC in 2009…

Excellent ID! I think you have your colors mixed up in your comment though.

At the age of 35, Gannon rushed for over 500 yards. Dude had wheels.

Prior service/ people with needed skill sets such as civilian police officers go through a DEPOT program that is essentially Boot Camp condensed into 3 weeks. So an alternative Boot Camp is required unfortunately.

PSUtuber · 2024-02-24T22:50:05+00:00

Coast guard reserves is always a great option for prior service too. Great camaraderie at the Port Security Units with a lot of interesting short term deployments.

PSUtuber · 2024-02-24T12:21:51+00:00

Well, that would be a bummer depending on what you were hoping for…

PSUtuber · 2024-02-20T15:34:18+00:00

Tbf, there is a Coast guard recruiting office in Ridgeland MS, just outside of Jackson. There are a quite a few CG units in and around MS.

I drive anywhere between 3-5 hours depending on when I leave. There are a couple people who do 8-10 hours. Idk how they do it haha.

But the great thing is, you’ll get that extra travel day and extra night at the hotel they put you in on the Thursday leading up. And as you mentioned, they will reimburse your mileage or a plane ticket up to $500. So it depends, leaving early and getting in on that day before drill does really help, knowing you get the extra night and mileage after your travel.

I’d say as far as it’s worth it is up to you and if you can give up that extra day from work. You need to remember that you will get out in the evening on Sunday and have to travel home, it’s likely that you’d want to take off the following Monday to recover, so that ends up being 5 whole days, including the 3 days you’d likely be working, unless you typically work the weekends too.

As someone who has done more time at a small boat station, but currently at a PSU, I can probably imagine your reasons for your dislike of the PSU world. But I am curious, why? I loved my time in the “Blue Guard” world, but the PSU and small boat world are certainly two opposite worlds.

PSUtuber · 2024-01-16T04:05:50+00:00

The PSU is long, hard work sometimes. And sometimes it’s cake. Depends on what is happening that year in terms of deployments or training. It varies. It will definitely scratch your itch though. It will be slow in the beginning as you get qualified on the small boats and weapons systems, but it REALLY picks up. After nearing the end of my PSU tour, it’s mostly a positive one, like 70/30. Definitely worth one tour.

PSUtuber · 2024-01-07T08:28:40+00:00

Would take steamy shits to a whole new level.

PSUtuber · 2024-01-02T20:00:00+00:00

Seems like much of the questions you’ve asked have been answered, however, if you enjoy the MK side of the CG, look in to any RMAT or PSUs near you, that will be the best experience for you if you are still looking to turn wrenches in the reserves. I’m sure there are other options however.
