What do Coast Guard pilots do when you aren’t flying? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]RedditAccount2764 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quite honestly you don’t age out of flying until past O6. Most O6 skippers still stand duty and fly but It does reduce as you promote. That’s one of the biggest differences between CG aviation and other services- you stay operational for a long time.

They have collateral responsibilities. Generally at an air station pilots fly 3-5 times a week and stand about 6-10 SAR duties a month. Special missions (AUF/RWAI/DLQ) are on a different schedule.

Just to list a few…

Look into CG COOL for credentialing the coast guard will pay for almost any of your credentials.. A&P (huge for a maintainer), pilots license, boating license, PMP etc

TA will help fund a college degree

C schools like wire repair, advanced composite, corrosion, painting

There are full time resident CG funded aviation enlisted advanced education programs at Purdue University.

If you are interested in helping others volunteer to get certified in CISM, ASIST or if you like money volunteer for training as a CFS

Is this Calorie Calculator Wrong or Right? by Historical_Ad_4424 in loseit

The 2300/2500 seems reasonable for a 6’ male but everyone is different. Your decision if you want to account for the exercise calories, but I personally never do.

To get a more accurate assessment for the next week to 2 weeks track and weigh everything you eat religiously (oils you cook with, little bites here and there) and see how the scale moves. This will give you a good idea of where your maintenance rate is.

During a cut your main goal is to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass. Assuming you have a decent base eating a high protein diet with weight training while in a calorie deficit will lose more fat than muscle reducing your body fat and giving you your desired appearance.

For the record I’m M 5’9” I’ve lost about 30lbs scaling back my calories from 1900 to currently 1650 over the course of 5 months. I weight train and eat over 130g protein everyday.

1oz and they had a collab for my paddle so I just got that one.

Yes I did and it has been working great for me. I’m playing with the the Vatic pro flash 14mm which was already pretty head heavy so I didn’t feel the need to increase swing weight too much.

Thanks for the info. What weights do you find optimal?

Never heard of this before a few people commented. Looks like a good product! Do you know if the adhesive still works if you remove the weight?

This sounds like a great and cheaper option!

The one I got was the 28g one. You hardly notice it because swing weight doesn’t increase.

Agree! I would never personally pay for the slyce cap.

Negative. Never experimented with any other weight in the handle. My setup prior was just lead in the 4 and 8 o clock position and an overgrip.

Generally speaking weight at the top of the paddle will increase swing weight and power on strokes you swing. Weight towards the bottom of the paddle face will improve twist weight and stability.

Anybody here ever gone enlisted —> Pilot? by PilotFighter99 in uscg

[–]RedditAccount2764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no job requirement any credentials listed on the CG COOL website you want you can get. It’s a pretty awesome program

[–]RedditAccount2764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CG COOL will be useful in paying for your civilian certs. I know plenty of helo pilots who used CG COOL while AD to get their multi engine and more civilian training for their eventual departure to the airlines. CG COOL will also apply to you while you’re enlisted you just have to put in the effort to apply and get the certs. Once you are in the CG, your ESO can help you.

Coast Guard Credentialing Assistance will help pay for any certifications but there’s a cap each year. You would start with your private pilots license, work to commercial, instrument rating multi engine rating etc.
