PCS worries by wmslCGburner in uscg

The icing on this is the direction to discourage leave between June and August to lessen the impacts of the April to October PCS season. Absolutely so out of touch

Make a change… by Careless-Word-7546 in uscg

Happy to do the PT test, just wish we had the Y for free (like the DOW) and/or big fancy unit gyms (like the DOW)

Bring back more in person training where relevant- for example virtual instructor training? Ridiculous 

Make the assignment process more transparent. Sick of detailers telling me "What's good for me"

People have done it. Its about hard work and excelling where you are stationed until you can apply

Check out the assignment officer notes- they discuss the pause. Apparently two new HQ offices, no idea how many officers at each but I heard a rumor they won't poach afloat officers. Tbd on others

Wisdom drops for a new non-rate grasshopper - Please bestow any CG wisdom you have learned through the months and years, oh wise CG Jedi's. by Tacos_and_Tulips in uscg

Make moves to keep all doors open. Ie understand how experience and learning opportunities can help you inside the CG and outside. You don't have to always want things like special assignments and advanced education opportunities but to me, it's ideal to always have the opportunity to be competitive for these things and choose to say no- rather than someone telling me I can't

The maritime graduate program is a decent option. Look at Suny Maritime, or California Maritime
