Experiences at United States Coast Guard

I actually had more drama enter my life the moment I reported into my first unit then I had when I was in high school. I was also being judged by the friends that I had. I had never been judged by the people I hung out with until I joined the military. If I had, I would have been classified as everything from a stuck up snob to a drug user....

I actually didn't get to the most challenging part of my job. I believe the most challenging part would have been going through the flight syllabus and being a qualified flight mech. I would have been part of the aircrew and would have gone on search and rescue cases and pulled people double my weight into the helicopter. That would have been the most difficult part of my job....

I started out scraping bouys, doing dishes, and painting the boat I was on. I went on to tech school where I became a helicopter mechanic. I worked on the engines, airframe, hydraulics, electrical and became a purchasing agent for the mechanics I worked with and for.

Getting a good score on the ASVAB is key. There are a wide range of jobs available and great people to work with. It was an amazing opportunity.

Clean record, integrity, and commitment.
