  • Capt. Todd Prestidge, the commanding officer of Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, N.J., addresses new recruits at the service's only enlisted basic training center. The average Coast Guard recruit company will lose more than 30 percent of its ranks to reversions, rephasals and washouts over the course the eight-week training program. The Coast Guard is the most selective and recruits the most qualified applicants for their rigorous basic training program. Applicants can find official and proven preparation materials here: goo.gl/U5joCf.

    Back in 80s I knew an ex-Coast Guardsman who served in WWII. Since I was relatively new in CG, he confided that he was on a crew who landed Marines in the Pacific beach assaults. Interesting point - if a landing craft was shot up, disabled/sunk - then Coasties landed with Marines and fought with them. If a boat actually made the trip intact, the CG crew would be tasked with taking in another bunch. So if anyone challenges about CG in combat - educate them accordingly. Semper Fi - Semper Paratus.

    This is tougher than what I went through in 1982. I personally think tougher training turns out better quality Coast Guardsmen.

    Coast Guard was a BIG MISTAKE for me, and not because of anything I did, but because of being Central American, I was treated like a criminal and humiliated on a daily basis and called a drug smuggler, including by leadership. The Coast Guard is the least diverse service and pervaded with racism and discrimination. I suggest if you're a minority, specially hispanic, look to the Air Force or another branch...

      jay23cr The Air Force basically told me I’m too retarded to join, be better off to be a marine..I’m Latino or Hispanic whatever you want to call it.

      I assume you’re a “victim crybaby”. You didn’t get what you wanted or babied so you cry race card. There are a lot of successful Mexicans, blacks, etc. leading in the coast guard. Look at the Company Commander everyone is terrified of. Just stop
