- This is the third and final installment of the mini-series "Jobs in the Coast Guard" (enlisted) w/ special guest @Jtsuits. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more videos to come as I begin my traveling expedition around the world. Follow me on my Instagram @jaxsin75
CGC can you make a video about your background? When you decided the Coast Guard was for you? Your journey in joining the CG!?
I got out as a RD2. I loved the job. But since it been re titled to OS. But I also stood QM watches on 201 Foot Cutters. I had a side job on my last 378 as a EW, which I came close putting the Sherman to GQ Combat mode. I picked up a Fire Control Radar locked on us. Lucky it was an US Air Force F 111 doing some training. But when we worked with the Navy, we always ended up embarrassing them.
Retired as a hsc. I loved all 22 years I spent in the CoastGuard!!!
Good video Chris !!.. can you make a video on why you didn't make coast guard your career and why you leave..?
Spoke to coast guard last week. Best interview of my life so far. It went perfect. Only 4 more pounds to lose!
4 years later man. How’s your experience
@@jimmyhernadez6185 love it man. saw some amazing things and did some fun stuff. joined and I'm still in lol. left Florida and went to washington state and got to see the Pacific Northwest and live that dream.over in the Great Lakes now. these years have had some serious self development and growth.
@@josephmagana4268 that’s awesome man I’m currently a senior in high school graduation is right around the corner and I’m seriously looking at joint the coast guard specifically an ast ik it’s super hard but I rather attempt then never try yk. What would you recommend for another rate as a plan b? I was also looking into the law enforcement side of it
notifications squad! can you talk about women in the coastguard? already talking with my recruiter and taking the asvab this tues.
I'm here but I'm tired... goodnight. I'll watch in morning lol
Love your channel. I too am a CG vet. (Aviation Maintenance Tech) As you mentioned about so many jobs being encompassed in one rate, in the CG if you are an aviation rate you also serve as aircrew. We fix em' and fly em'.
As for the matter of does the CG have spec ops? Yes we do. The MSST (Maritime Safety and Security Team) Members go through spec ops training including (but not limited to) parts of Navy SEAL and Army Ranger training. They're like a boarding party on steroids. They do both small boat AND air operations.
Was the AMT "A" school wait time long back then? Would you recommend waiting for closed "A" schools to open or go to your plan B/C schools?
Most operations specialists are actually ashore. When I went to a-school for the rating they told us that we were going to be one of the last classes that would get navigation and plotting. I actually went to a Cutter after a-school. I should also mention that OS's are only attached to 210' and above cutters.
Cecil O. Almonte Thanks for sharing this man
Yooo almonte it’s Wendlandt, hey I miss you man hope the Mohawk is treating you well brother also how was patrol?
CGC that’s funny yo almontes my boy small coast guard

JTsuits you gonna hold a party for the 50th Ep before CGC deploys? We want a livestream party at the office
JTsuits livestream the 50th Ep! Fkin legendary idea
that'd be epic !!! great idea
JTsuits thanks Fam
I'm an OS and we were only on the bridge for special sea. And it's a land rate. You're only on White Hulls.
Good review. I noticed the rates of Sonar Tech, Radioman, Fire Control Tech, and Quartermaster have been rolled into other rates.
Hey Chris
I'm definitely interested in joining the Coast Guard but I'm having trouble on which rate I want to select. It's either between storekeeper because I eventually want to be a financial advisor whenever I become a civilian so working with budgeting and inventory definitely will help or culinary specialist I don't mind cooking but I wouldn't consider myself passionate about it & let's not forget the $20,000 bonus.
What are you guys opinions?
Just came from JT channel.
william crespo ;))
Ben Affleck meets Billy Zane, that's who you remind me of Navy guy, LOL
"anyone can get a boat...and most people, don't know how to ride a boat" - boat cop jtsuits
I have a couple questions.
Q1: What did you to to prepare your body for boot camp?
Q2: What are the types of ME'S as you move up and what are their task?
Q3: What are all the befits the Coast Guard & and base school provide/ offer to you you before and after service?
Q4: what is the most used gun used my an ME?
Army 13B here just seeing what my fellow military branches are all about. Nothing but respect for anyone who serves our county. Just a question though. What does rate exactly mean? Sounds like what we would call an MOS?
Yeah it's the same thing. Thanks for your service btw
I'm confused. I understand that rates in the Coast Guard take a long ass time to get into after Basic Training, but what exactly do you do that entire time you're waiting? I have plans on becoming an ME (of course lol), so am I just gonna be sitting around on a ship for 2 years until I go to A school or what?
You do maintenance, painting, minor cooking, ect. You're everyone's personal assistant. You do whatever there is to do.
Zoul
That sounds tedious but honestly I'd be okay with. It can be any more stressful than life when you actually get your rate
Eiahfou well did you make it?!?!?
@@COLDTHERMAL Yeah I've been in for 2 years now 🤙
@@84updown How was your boot camp experience?
I may have just missed it, but did you cover IT (Information Systems Technician)?
yeah I think he skipped it
What r u gonna do with ur clothes situation if ur traveling for a few months???
Is the ME rate on the cutter or are they stationed strictly on the shore?
Yes they are on cutters. We had a ME2, ME1 and a ME Chief on our 378' cutter. They are in charge of the boardings we were all on the boarding team together doing drug interdiction and fishery regulations.
Mahalos!
#Coast Guard Chris# And #JTsuits# could you Guys do A video on Gunners Mate in The Coast Guards
For anyone thinking of Public Affairs... CG Recruiter told me today they are getting rid of the A School for that job.
Thanks for that update Hannah
As of this week a CG recruiter confirmed that that this school is currently NOT accepting new applications bc they are full even for wait lists.
this video does not work for me......is the SK job good or bad... I'm like chris about to have a college degree but willing to join enlisted
What about a GM? I am looking at doing that, does any one have some tips before I sign the papers?
Andrew Griffin I was Duty GM on our ship. That included weapons accountability, checking the temperature of the ammuntion storages, etc. The GMs on my ship were awesome. If you like guns then GM is for you. It also opens up a lot of tactical unit opportunities for you.
Coast Guard Chris thx mac! I am looking forward to it! I love weapons, so looks like I am going to the right place.
How times have changed. when I served on the CGC Chase (WHEC 718) out of Boston as a GM3 myself and 2 others were responsible for maintaining the 5"/38, torpedoes and tubes, .50's, 20mm's. 40mm's, small arms, sprinkler systems.magazines, hoist. And as you stated we were on boarding crew,as well as shark watch during swim call. Semper Paratus
thx gents, I am currently underway to getting in, I am waiting on MEPs to tell me what they need, then I will be off too MEPs, boot, and then A school. thx again
Andrew Griffin Goodluck brother! Report back when you get the chance on your progress!
CGC have you done a video on coast guard specops
i'm going ET :( hopefully you'll make that video before i ship out
Coast Gaurd Chris hey Chris did you stay with a small group your entire career ?
about time ! lol
What about IT's?
hey chris did you ever work with any coast guard academy grads?
jon jon brah Absolutely. Pretty much 90 percent of the officers I worked with were Academy graduates
Did you guys do IT? I didn't see it.
My IT buddies are going to be pissed. I need to do a new video talking about the IT and MST rates.
so wait. is it hard to get in as a rescue swimmer?
Apparently from what I heard it is hardest CG job rating as far as the physical requirements go. Pass rate sounds not too high so these guys mentioned in Part 2 that having a backup job rating would be smart.
I got 2 mips for alcohol when I was 19 will that keep me out of the coast guard if I meet all other requirements I want to be a ME
Nate Steeze Don't tell them about the mips. It will save you time and they'll never find out unless you tell them which will only prolong the process of getting in
Coast Guard Chris sweet thank you
This is JTs second bromance #makinbeermanjelly
G Flight lol
Challenge coins in the coast guard???
Where is I.T
So mst is basically the same as a 74D in the army ?
Im not sure what a 74D does but MST does environmental clean up like when BP had the oil spill that's really when MST's go into action.
Not for nothing but you guys look so stoned.
Semper High?
Not a complaint just an observation from a guy who is stoned, love that 420.
Now...As you were.
My brother is a rescue swimmer.
Epichero82 That's awesome. CG rescue swimmers are bad ass
Coast Guard Chris definitely!
Coast Guard Chris btw you have an awesome channel!
what about MST??????????
Nakyta Pease literally the last one they talked about you goof
you didn’t talk about marine science technician rate
Yeah and ITs. I need to do a part 4 soon. My IT and MST bros were not happy I forgot them
Minors what are you eating??
Can ME be on a cutter boarding team?
Christian Field Yes thats their sole purpose on cutters, to do boardings
IT??
Are you guys getting laid off to build the Wall?
dv?
Lmao what is that thumbnail tho XD
Is it hard to become a ME
Yes.
Dude you were an ET right? You should know we break shit
Question for you guys, Starting from most to least what branches get the most P%$$€?
What about IT?
