So the thread Champcar started about loans may be getting to me. I have been putting off getting a loan, but had always planned on getting one. I may still consider getting a loan but you guys have pretty much scared the crap out of me so I gotta find a plan B.
When I was 19, I almost joined the Coast Guard and NOT joining was a HUGE mistake. I did my fair share of partying and didn't start college until I was 22. Then at 23, Jeannine and I found out that she was pregnantanic:
Now I am almost 26 and making an decent living working 3 jobs (and not going to school anymore). I am seriously considering signing up for the Coast Guard again if it can be done having a family. Here's what I want to know (gocoastguard.com is down)
I know not to expect an aviation slot since I didn't go to the USCG Academy. I'm just looking for any info on the life of a Coastie.
thanks,
pedro

- What is the age limit for signing up for the USCG?
- What is the starting pay for HS grad in a general field?
- Are the bonuses and GI bill info the same as other military branches?
- Do you live on base or do they provide off base housing allowance?
- Approx how long are the average tours at sea?
- what are the chances of me going to war?(I don't agree with the war so I don't want to go. Flame if you wish.)
