So you’re thinking about joining the Coast Guard. You like the idea of protecting America’s coastline from invaders, drugs and illegal immigrants, and search and rescue missions are the height of heroism to you. You want to be a part of it.
The first step in achieving this goal is to take the ASVAB, a skills-assessment test that will point out your strengths and weaknesses. Your score will determine what military jobs you’re eligible for. You can access ASVAB practice tests as well as a full explanation of the ASVAB’s purpose online at www.military.com/ASVAB.
Then you need to see a Coast Guard recruiter. He’ll be able to answer your questions, help you to decide if his branch of the military is right for you and get you where you want to be.
This is the time to be assertive. Ask questions. Coast Guard recruiters want you to join. It’s their job to sweeten the pot enough to get you in the door, because the military needs people, now more than ever. This crucial step is what will get you the job you want, the bonus you want and the location you want.
Get the job. Whether or not you get the job you want will depend upon your test scores. If you did really well, the field is open to you. Tell the military recruiters that you’re interested in this particular job - whether it’s being a mechanic, working in housing or being a yeoman - and ask how you can be assured of getting that position.
Get the money. The military doesn’t have any leeway when it comes to salary. You get paid what your level gets paid, and that’s it. However, base pay differs from state to state in order to meet the cost of living in that state. Also, you may qualify for a sign-on bonus. Ask questions about the bonus: how much the military is currently offering, when you’ll get it and whether or not it will be a lump sum. Bonuses are generally split up over several years of your enlistment and are taxed quite heavily. Find out about this first so you’re not surprised.
Get the location. Have you always dreamed of going to California? Get it in writing. If the recruiter is serious about getting you in - and, unless your scores were bad, he is - he’ll work with you.

Are there any enlistment bounses for signing on for a 6-year term for the Coast Guard?
Generally there is a bonus for enlistment. I have no idea if there is right now if there is. The best place to look or to ask questions is a Coast Guard Recruiter. Unlike the other armed services if you are apprehensive of joining a CG Recruiter will "NOT" hassle you. It is the only service that the recruiters wait for you to make the decision instead of calling every day and stopping by your work or home to pressure you to join. So, there is no pressure in calling and asking. The Coast Guard "ONLY" wants people that are really interested!

How do you switch from air National Guard to active duty?
Have the regular Army recruiter help you fill out a DD368. Give the DD368 to your chain of command to sign. Bear in mind your Natioanl Guard does not have to sign the DD368 if the don't want to. Normally a unit commander will sign a DD368 without a problem. However, if your unit is preparing to deploy your commander may not sign off. Also, if your commander is concerned that you are a knucklehead, he might not sign. A transfer to another component is a priviledge, not a right.
