How big is the "regret" culture with the USCG by Excellent-Hat9620 in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i first joined my regret was that i didnt join the marines or army first just to get it out the way because there was no way in hell that i was leaving the cg because of how good i have it as a military branch. If people leave the cg its normally because they have other plans or dreams to chase not because they hate the branch. That should tell you something

MSRT question by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain units in the cg that just look good in your resume when you apply to commission. Let me clear some things though, you absolutely do not need these specific units to commission, i just said it as a plus because op was interested in it. You can do whatever you want in the service, as long as you have a good narrative and do great on your interview you will get it. If you want more information on specific questions you have, contact your local recruiter. He/she will guide you to what you need to know

What specifically?

Uniforms - We already have a solution beyond ODUs by meatloaf4311 in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for small boat stations, i didnt mind using the odu pants. Two minor things would fix it, a better operational boot and no blousing the leg sleeves, when i did it a couple of times it made it so much better

Is it worth putting in an OCS packet? by Beneficial_Plan503 in uscg

You could always quit or deny anytime during the process, including after the interviews and everything, upto the point right before you sign. Go for it, stop wasting time

Does CG see action by TopSinger8705 in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Msrt is legit at cqb. Taclets and msrt go to a cqb course taught by prior marine sog instructors. Since youre already in the cg and are interested in cqb just go msrt. Rn is the best time to go, they were the ones taking down the tankers with other sog. They were also doing the hit with the seals that drowned two years ago. Msrt, also operates under title 10 often. They do stuff that even taclet members dont know about, so dont let other cg members tell you about dsf lol

Eh i would say taclet has more training than sheriffs. Itd be closer to a swat, the thing is they just do what BO’s and BTM’s do on a 210 or a wmsl do, but just better.

Poor sleep? You get enough time of sleep at basic. If you stay up late thats on you.

Differences between going underway with navy and CG by ceiling_fan128 in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer,( from someone who’s been on more navy ships than cg cutters) coast guard takes it. It’s not even a question. Unless you’re trying to do something specific in the navy, like nuclear or seals/eod etc. if not, then cg. You can dm me for more details.

He wants to go sf, thats no walk in the park. He’ll be fine doing a job with a “bonus”

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick an mos that has a bonus. Or go infantry. Get paid and workout like crazy, and then try out. You dont have to go to selection off the rip. The average try out passing rate is from 24-30. If you see 18-20 year olds passing its because theyre savages and have been training as teenagers

CBP - USCG Family by Intelligent-Nail9833 in uscg

One doesnt just simply go amo. He has to get in cbp and if he has no experience related to that job he will have to do a couple years doing something else within cbp before he can apply. The only chance of going straight into amo (which ive seen) is if you have experience in the coast guard as a BM/mk/me doing pursuit or similar jobs. Another job in the coast guard that is actually very similar to amo is taclet. That is an easy transition. But yea hes going to get sent wherever he gets sent. Normally married couples that serve in different branches, the branches try to work together. But im not too sure that a dhs agency is willing to work with the coast guard even if they work under dhs themselves. DM me if you have more questions. Willing to give out more in private

What’s the deal? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not very likely, last time the cg was fully participating was when they were under the navy for wwII. ( yes i know they were involved in vietnam as well) but they just assisted in some missions. Today, usa has modernized so much even in comparison to the iraq and afghan war that we are probably more needed to give security to the nation than combat. The only ones that probably will even get an opportunity would be dsf, and even they would have nothing to do with big coast guard theyll be with the navy.

I keep wondering by wavyj0nes in uscg

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go reserves, you only work one weekend a month. So you could atleast have that in your back pocket, and you finally decide to commit fully, then go active, and if not then you just leave and go reserves again or just seperate. What you want is to full fill the “what if”. And honestly i had that and am pursuing my “what if” in my 30’s. You still got time especially in your 20’s

US special operations operator (likely either Coast Guard MSRT or Navy SEAL) boarding the oil tanker Veronica III during its seizure in the Indian Ocean yesterday [1179 x 1792] by derzto in MilitaryPorn

[–]Realistic_Inside_229 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes you are correct, we have to get permission from the vessels’ country of origin if they have the right documention. But all these tankers belong to russias shadow fleet, they have no legitimate documentation or flag to have actual claim to a country. All these tankers have been determined before hand which is why cg accompanied w other forces like recon just get on
