- Join me as I go over the different enlisted rates (jobs) in the Coast Guard in a 3 part series. Special guests fellow Coastie F-ET Petty Officer Paul Stafford and the one the only Jtsuits.
I'm an old Coast Guard vet. I appreciate you guy man. SEMPER PARATUS
Coastie Vet Always prepared
This video should have been titled "The Coast Guard Strikes Back!"The dancing sailors had me rolling.
lmao goddamit chris i just saw the Navy clip lmao .. GG
JTsuits 😂😂
Ej Nappe ]p
dude this series is going to be insane !
Chris, like your show, just need to elaborate more about BM's. BM is the only enlisted rate were you can be a commanding officer on a cutter and or a station(every small boat station). One of the most important job that a BM performs(if he/she has the opportunity) is to be SAR boat coxswain, especially at a heavy weather SAR station. Taking a motorlife boat through crashing 15' waves, at night with 35' knot winds, over the bar, to save a fishing trawler(& crew) taking on water, what a rush. Possibly the most satisfying and compete experience one could have in the CG. Aloha, from a CG vet. BM2, 76-80, CG Station Oregon Inlet. Semper Paratus....
Maui SurfDog Thanks for this detailed description of the BM rate. The more information the better. Mahalo and Semper Paratus
I was in the Coast Guard from 72 to 76. I was an ET at that time. My last billet was at Humboldt Bay SAR before the Group moved in and the Aviation Group. I was responsible for all cutters and mlbs in the area. If that wasn't enough, I also was one of the few that were volunteered for Drug Enforcement by the DEA. At that time, Humboldt County was the largest producer of weed. While at the SAR, I also went out on the 44s as a rescue diver with no special training and I controlled the RDFs. We didn't get the ERDFs until my last month. Most equipment, other than our Trident Radios were 20-30 years old. Constant upkeep. I went to ET and Loran C school in New York at Governors Island. I am glad to see that the USCG is getting the credit and equipment needed to do the multi-faceted and complex jobs assigned to them "We have to go out, But we don't have to come back". Semper Peratus, God Bless
love the navy dancing video, finally getting back at jt 😂
Cgc stepped up his game gawt daymm, keen to see more videos like this👏

How did it go?
I'm really interested in watching the rest of the rates, I'm wanting to become a MST after college. Good Job Chris very informative video. Thank you.
Love Star Wars music
Awesome video! So I just took my ASVAB test, and got a 70. Would I be able to be a BM with my score?
may the force be with you
That was such an informative video..thanks CGChris!
Outstanding video! fell in love within seconds, going to continue to watch the rest. I subscribed, I'm interested in joining the CG and want to learn more. Thanks in advance for all the videos.
This kid is killing it so much insight cgc the boss!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info. Im not doing that non-rate shit, nice MEPS lets me thru I want to do OS, they give a fat bonus and I got a 70 on my ASVAB test so I qualify for it.
I ship June 13, been spending a lot of time on yours and jts channel. Going in as an mk with a guaranteed duty station
Patrick Johnson Congrats man. Good luck and God speed. MK is a hard working rate but they get a lot of respect and a lot of Law Enforcement opportunities if you desire
Coast Guard Chris yeah, I would have never considered it, but I ran into a cousin I didn't know I had until my grandma's funeral, I toured his boat and shadowed him on his 87 for a day and seemed like the fit for me, thanks man
Patrick Johnson Did you just say guaranteed duty station?
Patrick Johnson how is the mk job
notification squad! #askcgc waiting on part 2 man! this series is really dope! have my first meeting with my recruiter this week...any advice? :)
J.T. Why is it that some many older people(mid 20's) join the cg but not the navy at that age??
John Robs you get smarter I wanted to be a marine in high school im 23 and I prefer the coast guard know 100 times
Zakatecas Faded Coast Guard is definitely the much better branch.
@@thatguy3916 depends on the person
😅 The navy segment tho

Kaleo Delatori yup i’m training to become a SEAL
@@isaac941. frogman(i think that's the term)! That's awesome dude I wish you the best. I have a good friend already in there and another currently training for it as well. Hardcore. Basically rescue swimmer + combat.. Thank you for your service as well
Kaleo Delatori anyday i wish you the best of luck solider
That navy clip at the beginning 😂
I want to go into the Coast Guard, and I think BM might be the best fit
Blossomet Go for it and do your own research- be careful as some information is outdated. But once you have a good idea, talk to a recruiter. I'm going to boot camp on July 9th. Good luck!
@@dogestranding5047 how u like it
What do you know about Intelligence Specialist?
know one knows anything about IS. except that until you make IS2 you will be doing nothing but making slideshows...
Gunners Mate and MSST, can you add those to the next one?
Dude the guardian made me cry
Semper Paratus!!!
If you wanted to go to the MSRT what would you have to do

Interested in watching the rest of the rates!! I'm wanting to become a ME.
It's been 3 years and I bet they still didn't have enough spots

damn JT & CGC a deadly duo.
Leaving for Cape May in t-minus 12 days 😬
That's awesome man. The days are long but the weeks go by faster than you think.
@@CoastGuardChris thats good to hear. Ill be turning 18 in my third week there so thats cool 😂. But i got a girl who i cant wait to come home to.
@@joenormanmusic That's great make sure you tell her to write you letters and tell your family also. Getting letters in bootcamp is like gold.
@@CoastGuardChris Any tips for a kid going through boot camp? I'm extremely motivated, very fit, and eager to start my career. But I have to make it through basic first 😬
Are Coast Guard mostly based at sea like the Navy?
Yes we are a sea going service like the Navy
Yeah I know... But are they at sea as long? or are do they go on shifts? Example: Lets say you are to be stationed in San Fran , are you going to be on The boat all day everyday ?
sandrae gunter Typically CG ships and crew are out to sea 3 to 5 months and come back to dock for as long as they were out. This goes on the whole time you're attached to a ship. I was on a ship for three 1/2 years and was out at sea for half that time in 3 month increments. Navy you can be gone 6 to 9 months, sometimes even longer from what Ive heard. When the ships are in port then the crew works on the ship until whats called trop hours, meaning you're done around 1pm and can go home for the day.
Coast Guard Auxiliary patrols lakes
@@CoastGuardChris Who goes out more than 3 months other than Ice Breakers? Longest out for me was 3 month patrol, but had one where we were underway 58 days straight (1991 during Desert Storm) But when we hit ports breaks we hit 3 back to back before going back on patrol. Ship was based out of Alameda CA, Stopped in Panama on the 58th day, Off loaded our Helo by crane, since it was broken(Crashed on Deck). Then went through the Canal and went to Gitmo, Jamaica, and Aruba, the back through the Canal and back on Patrol.
Can you make a video talking about ASTs and how to become one.
my dad is in the cost guard on the cuter blacktip
What's the name of that Navy Movie and is the guy on the left side of the table an Actor also? he looks so familiar
Is it easier to secure the rate you want or is it like the other branches where it’s mostly up to luck
What are your thoughts on depression and anxiety and joining/being in/getting out of the coast gaurd
What’s the difference between navy and coast guard rescue swimmers
I wanted to be a Coast Guard diver. I believe you have to be a E5 to do that. How would I go upon doing that?
Can you please do Intelligence specialist?
Have you heard anything about the DV rate?
I'm going to be either a ET or FC in the Navy, any tips?
90% That I'm going to be a bm.
I want to do a public affairs specialist job
7 years late but do you recommend ET (65k bonus) or really waiting out for AET?
100 percent take the bonus. I almost thought of reenlisting, the bonus is so huge.
I got a question I might get married to someone in my future but my question is if I'm in the military can I get married while in service I know some people is married in the military but I was wondering if you have to do something or can you do that while in service?
What’s with all the navy musicals
What movie is the Navy dancing clip from?😂
Rebecca Grace 961524 Hail, Cesar by the Cohen brothers
Ok, thank you!
CGC could you talk about what regulations there are on tattoos?
Joseph Rodriguez nothing on hands or above neck collars
My friend I want to cost job can you tell me about this thing
I work in construction should I join the navy reserve seabees or coast guard reserve?
If you're looking to do more construction work like you do now then I would go Seabees
I want to be an AMT so bad
How easy/hard is it to become a PA in the CG?
Short answer is yes it is hard to become a PA in the CG. It's one of the smaller rates in the CG, as a result the A school wait list is pretty long so if you don't mind being a non-rate for a few years then go for it.
Chris can you tell me what I should expect regarding obtaining job for the CG? My recruiter told me everyone goes in as a non rate and then puts in for A School after 6 months. I saw another video where you and JT said some jobs you have to get right out of MEPS. Will my recruiter tell me what jobs I can apply for before I go? I'm confused on this as my recruiter is not very communicative. Thanks man.
Zatch SMP Hey man. It's been my experience that there are always a few guaranteed A schools "jobs" you can sign up for and therefore never have to be a non rate. FS or cook A school is almost always an option. Now that being said guaranteed A school is always dependent by the needs of the CG. He could be telling the truth. However, some recruiters are shady and will lie to people so they could fill their quotas. If I were you I would call out to talk to a different recruiter and see if what he/ she says matches what your current recruiter is telling you.
Ya I think I'm going to call a random recruiter and ask about that. Thanks man I appreciate it.

So if I am in the Navy, get a coxswain pin but then I want to join the Coast Guard later...I have heard that a Boatswain mate in the Coast Guard would be the closest equivalent to a Navy Sailor who is in a Riverine command with a coxswain pin. Is this true ? Also, does the Coast Guard hire civilians to be coxswains on their boats as contractors?
Yes to the first question and no to the second. Depending on the port we pull into I believe they'll bring on a contractor who is familiar with navigating the port to verbally help whom ever is driving the ship but that's usually for very specific places. No civilian has ever been hired as a coxswain on a CG vessel to my knowledge.
CSG
So if I leave the Navy when my PRD is up, and want to join the Coast Guard with my coxswain training from the Navy would a Coast Guard recruiter be able to help me transfer my skills to an equivalent job and even paygrade ?
@@whosthat6837 The short answer is yes. However, it really depends on what kind of recruiter you get. Since the Coast Guard is a smaller branch their quotas are much smaller so depending on the needs of the CG you might get a recruiter that is not as motivated. For prior service they should try and match you with a similar rate but only one way to know for sure and that's to contact your closest CG recruiting station and set up an appointment. Good luck.
MK all day everyday
Do they train you to perform these jobs are are these jobs you must know before joining?
Dr Mitchell Hackerman Yes you get extensive training for your job but a lot is also on the job training
Reupload??? Good regardless tho
Hey I'm joining the coast guard and I am going ET. Do all ET's have to go to Petaluma for A School because my recruiter told me I would be in VA for it but everywhere else it seems like it's saying it's only in CA.
Patty Buckets Yes the primary A school is in California. C schools which are extended training are in Virginia but you only get training there only after A school in California
Coast Guard Chris hope my recruiter didn't put me in for EM A School. I'll try to sort it tomorrow thanks again.
How many rates are actually in the coast guard it's a small number right?
Duck Boi17 there's quite a few
Can you talk about the coast guard academy ? I would really appreciate it
CS?
Cutter shipmates
why do BM's get more chances to do law enforcement Tho?
Kevin Osorio yes they do it all the time
Lol those female nonrates thiugh 😂😂😂
army here lol
What's the best job to have in the coast guard if u suck at math😂😂😂
Lol. Well definitely don't got ET or IT. I would say BM would be a good rate to pursue.
