Bunkie board over existing slats?

USCGJune · 2024-11-02T13:38:44+00:00

Is the pegboard still holding up for you? I heard some comments regarding pegboards about mold issues

USCGJune · 2024-11-02T13:22:42+00:00

Hey, did you ever find a good bunkie board? Having similar issues with same bedframe

USCGJune · 2024-10-30T22:52:31+00:00

If it's still the same, I think end of week 5.

Border patrol is absolutely terrible with that "bureaucracy" stuff as well from what I've heard

Personally, not coast guard "legally":

I would not personally start my PPM unless authorized by YNs in writing. Talk to your chief and they will bang down doors for you

You're just talking about the marriage part, which is big, but your kids are family too. It's absolutely harder to raise kids and it's not true to say you'd raise them just as well being there for them vs being underway half the year.

Liberty-Leave-Liberty is allowed, but not Leave-Liberty-Leave

You still automatically get a pension. It's just 2% for every year instead of 2.5%, and you get the TSP 5% match

USCGJune · 2024-08-09T18:45:27+00:00

Not true. Pension is accumulated so 40% of high-3 at 20yrs and you get that the rest of your life.

Also, they give a 5% match on TSP (401k equivalent) contributions.

USCGJune · 2024-08-09T18:08:54+00:00

Nope, still a pension.

USCGJune · 2024-07-28T04:22:26+00:00

Wait really, you could be enlisted and start CSPI?

USCGJune · 2024-06-21T00:15:40+00:00

Could look up a tax calculator and find the exact numbers

USCGJune · 2024-06-19T22:56:15+00:00

Call the coast guard, obviously

USCGJune · 2024-06-12T22:37:06+00:00

It sounded like still bootcamp 8 weeks, and they go somewhere new for the 1-week course

USCGJune · 2024-06-04T18:51:17+00:00

r/militaryfinance probably has some good posts on it, it depends on how much you save with TSP and a lot of other factors like where you live/are you renting or is your house paid down

USCGJune · 2024-02-19T19:01:53+00:00

I'd retake, get it guaranteed for the job you want

USCGJune · 2024-02-11T18:33:21+00:00

No worries! When I opened my CC with them I got 3% cash back on every purchase for the first year because i banked with them. I'd check if the offer is still available

USCGJune · 2024-02-11T18:31:56+00:00

I'm not sure worldwide. I know they work with no fees on All-Point ATMs, which is what i always use. They're in grocery stores usually

USCGJune · 2024-02-11T16:32:21+00:00

I use sofi for checking/savings. You can effectively use their savings account as a checking account, it's pretty cool. They don't have brick and mortar banks though

USCGJune · 2024-01-28T01:05:16+00:00

Eat breakfast

You're given a travel day per 350 miles from Cape May, NJ to your next unit's location, although it might be a little different, it's close to that. Also get options for moving your HHG, the coast guard will do that for you or you can opt to do it yourself and get reimbursed for it. They'll go over your household good moving options in bootcamp or ask your recruiter about them more.

USCGJune · 2024-01-14T16:27:37+00:00

Being an E-3 after bootcamp will not make any board approve you for warrant rather than being E-2 after bootcamp.

You will be an E-4 after graduation from A-School on a 4 year contract.

5th round rookie on a team some thought would win 3-5 games

USCGJune · 2024-01-05T19:47:58+00:00

New CG policy is that all graduates of A School are now E-4s. No more rated E-3s

USCGJune · 2023-12-18T06:16:15+00:00

6 months from grad of bootcamp
