Active duty USN here. Just thought I throw my opinion in (as a good Chief Petty Officer always will), The Coast Guard is the real deal, War against Terror, War against Drugs, National Security, the whole thing.
The one thing that I would like to say is that if you are going to join one of the "sea services" then make it a personal commitment. Some people join as a way to pay for college or to get away from the folks, whatever. That is not the reason to join. The reason to join is "to be the best I can be and serve my country". The reason to join is that you love the sea.
Enlisted or commissioned the rule remains the same: Listen to your Chief and listen to your Warrants (Relentless). These are the guys that have done it. Become a MASTER MARINER.
2 more years and I'll be driving USS Kayak out of Cody, Wyoming. You, will be the one protecting and defending our coast. Make a difference! Stand the watch!! All engines ahead Flank!
Good luck, fair winds and following seas.
