    Because the CG **always** has a legit real-world mission to do. You don't end up wasting two or three years of your life stationed at division sized replacement depot where 'excellence' is defined as how shiny the barracks hallway is and no DUIs that month. Even the guys who service and repair harbor bouys are actually doing something useful.
    I'm an Army veteran and I live in the Pacific Northwest. There are towns up here where every single person is related to somebody the CG has pulled from the drink, so we have a lot of respect for Coasties. Those dudes go out on rescues in weather that'd make Santa Claus stay home.

      I wouldn't say that.
      There's a lot of people, even folks who ought to know better, who call Coasties 'puddle pirates'... and they mean it like an insult, not in the joking fashion that a soldier might call a sailor a 'swabbie' or 'skimmer puke'. What's more, the Navy is continually trying steal parts of the USCG's budget and the Air Force tries to steal another part of it.
      And I say all this as an Army veteran. I come fully equipped with all the inter-service rivalries and prejudices. But I live up in Washington State and there are towns up here where every single person is related to somebody the CG has pulled out of the drink at one time or another. It's hard not to respect that.

How many 210's are moored that would normally be U/W right now? How many stations have reduced hours and have seen it's people farmed out to other units to keep them operational? How many many OPC's are being built vs ordered because there's no money. Oh and where's those Heavy Ice Breakers the service has been waiting for? Just saying. You can have all the people in place you want, if you don't have the money to operate their units, I guess they will be well trained by the time they get their feet wet.

      It's all part of the US military at all times little boy one of the six branches of the US armed forces there are veterans when they are discharge and they are deployed to war zones I served with plenty of them when I was in the army in Iraq the rest of Homeland security is just a bunch of civilian departments!!!

      No it's probably just your poor eyesight. If you check the graph that he literally posted and listened to a single word of this nearly 5 minute news piece you would realize that 2024 was the first time that they have met and surpassed their recruitment goals in 17 years. It's literally the entire point of this news piece. There is no poor reporting. Just your poor eyes and ears.

      The government would never make weed legal for military members to use. Now if they made it were prior use was not a nearly automatic disqualifier that would have an effect on recruitment.
