    Coast Guard Veteran here. Cool video. What I remember from Boot Camp is that while those quals were easy for most of my shipmates (pre-Internet) it was swimming that got people. I was a surfer so no biggie for me but if you’re joining a maritime service, you should be a decent swimmer.

    Something a lot of people don't seem to understand is this: to most in the military, they respect and acknowledge the CG as a branch -- they just make fun of them and pick on them, just like all of the branches do to one another. It's all in good brotherly fun. The Coasties are just a little more special ;)

    Last but not least : the « 8 km TAP » . Run 8 km with your uniform, your boots and a backpack who weighs 11 kg , you have to do it under 45minutes.

    Yeah, but it still needs to be bigger, better and more powerful. They should be the operators of homeland air defense on the water, homeland defense from subs, and the main Artic force. They need more money and better equipment as well as ships etc. They should also have more access to autonomis mini subs for easier ways to stop drug/people smuggling. All in all, I think the government is the reason people don’t think highly of the coast guard(and merchant mariners).
