US Coast Guard

As of October 2006, The United States Coast Guard has about 41,000 men and women on active duty, 8,100 reservists, 7,000 full time civilian employees and 37,000 auxiliarists.

It depends entirely on force mission requirements, retention levels vs. manning requirements, and available billets, and a sailor's time at sea.

All Navy sailors have established general career paths that include typical sea/shore rotation policies, but they're often negated by fleet needs and mission requirements. Fleet needs come before individual careers, but the average is around 3-4 year at sea and 2-3 at a shore station. Of course any sailor can opt to stay at sea for longer periods, but for a successful career, shore duty is required to gain the necessary experience.

Note that temporary duty ashore doesn't count toward rotation - you must be permanently assigned to a shore station for it to count. For example, though I spent a year going to my second advanced Sonar maintenance school in 1984, it was a temporary assignment from my boat, which was undergoing regular overhaul. When I left, I had 5 consecutive years of sea duty, as seen and recorded by the Navy.

According to U.S. Coast Guard statistics, the main cause of most fatal boating accidents is the absence of proper safety measures, particularly the lack of life jacket use. Alcohol consumption is also a significant contributing factor, leading to impaired judgment and increased risk of accidents. Additionally, operator inexperience and poor weather conditions can exacerbate these incidents. Overall, a combination of these factors highlights the importance of safety education and adherence to boating regulations.

If you feel that it's the right thing to do, then go for it. This is a decision you'll ultimately have to make for yourself.

Right now, no. There is a wait. It also depends what recruiting station you're coming from. If you're in a busy area like Florida, or new jersey it will be an even longer wait. Landlocked states like Montana, Colorado, and the Dakota's are easier. In the Coast Guard, you MUST score at least a 40 on the ASVAB to qualify. They're also cracking down on alcohol related charges for people trying to join. Usually the wait is a year or more, unless you want to be a cook...then they'll gladly ship you straight to boot camp. Do yourself a favor though and do a LOT of research before joining. If you feel the armed forces is a lifestyle you'd enjoy, I'd urge you to check out the USAF.

the names of the specific members that evening could probably be found in David Liftons Best Evidence as he traced most of them.I believe Hubert Clark was one and another could be Donald Rebentisch.They all expressed a real confusion over events that night.

Lifton found Lieut Bird who led the HG but he had been badly wounded in Vietnam. General Wehle was in overall command.

You can do it, but it depends on several things. If you are active duty and fairly new, you can forget about it. I just did it, but I was only a few weeks away from my ETS date. It's fairly easy to do if you are close to your ETS. The first thing you need to do is find a Coast Guard recruiter who will work with you. He will sign a form called a Conditional Release, which tells the Army that the Coast Guard is willing to work with you. You then take that form and get it signed by your company and battalion commanders. This form basically says that you will be released from the Army on the condition that you will go active duty in the Coast Guard. It won't actually take effect until you swear in to the Coast Guard. Once you get that form signed, the process is pretty much the same as when you joined the Army. The decision to release you lies completely with your company and battalion commander. They won't usually do it, but if you are close to getting out anyway, it should be pretty easy. However, if you are still pretty new and decided that the Army isn't for you, you can probably forget about it. Hope this helps.

For lots of reasons. The land is better. There are more jobs. Most of the ports are on the east side of the country because it is nearer to Britain and the rest of Europe. There are many other reasons.

No, though you will have to apply for, and be granted, a Medical Waiver by the US Military's Medical Corps. Basically, this waiver states that your missing digit(s) do not significantly hamper your ability to serve effectively. You would be unlikely to be granted a waiver if you are missing a thumb or index finger of either hand, or missing more than one finger on a hand.

For one, there'll be political fallout over militarisation of what's intended to be an unmilitarised border. Second, there's the cost - without those units being federalised, the cost of keeping those units active would fall entirely on the State of Arizona. Third, those members of the National Guard are citizen-soldiers - they're not full-time soldiers, and they have everyday jobs which they count on to make a living. Keeping them activated is going to impact their careers, their employers, etc.

It depends on the height and age of the member.

The US Coast Guard has a great brochure on choosing the correct like vest. You can access it at related links below.

Having the correct life vest is imperative to your safety on board any watercraft. May people assume that life jackets are not necessary when they are on the water, but everyone must be ready for an emergency. This year, there have been many unfortunate deaths due to people not wearing life jackets. Amazingly, many of these deaths were people that could swim well, and that jumped into the water to save another. Be safe! Wear your life vest at all times.

They're mostly patterned after Navy uniforms, though there are some uniforms in the Coast Guard which are not common to the Navy, such as the all black BDU uniform.

No - the last Jeep variant to see service was the Ford M151 MUTT, which was phased out in favour of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, often referred to as the Humvee). Special operations units may have such vehicles or similar vehicles available for their use, however.

The coast guard is a branch of the military. Most small boat operations in armed conflicts are driven by a coastie . Most of the landing craft driven onto the beaches of normandy where skippered by the coast guard. They are armed and even go on special ops missions with teams like the seals. They also board drug running boats and shot 50cal machine guns . A far cry from lifeguards
