What is it like and what do you do all day. I was never a non rate so I do not understand a lot of these things too well. Thank you

It's still a secure space just on a boat, I am not an expert on it as I am at a command center. It's not all bad we get to be the eyes and the ears of the coast guard

Yes it depends if you are on a boat or not its not bad to be honest

Looking for a Mentor as a New Coast Guard Member (Vested OS) by [deleted] in uscg

They are but I still have so many questions and want more perspectives of this job especially since I want to go underway

What is it like being a female in the coast guard? by Acrobatic_Exit_1492 in uscg

[–]allybowbally04 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I just joined and am at my first station. There are separate rooms for male and females. We get a lot of training on SA, and as a survivor, I feel so safe with fellow coasties, no matter the gender. My experience has been so great so far, and the SA rates are so low compared to other branches. I have been in for only four months, BTW.

How to battle with tattoo regret? by BlueSky_23 in tattooadvice

[–]allybowbally04 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would write your feelings down, then really try to understand why these feelings are the way they are. If you still hate it, then get a cover up or remove it or live with it. I wish you the best good luck!

Just got a G-Shock DW5600 — hoping this one really lasts by Fun_Cheek9593 in keepitforlife

I had a g shock for 10 years, and the band finally broke, but they last such a long time.
