I forgot all the coasties I stormed into Baghdad with in 03.

Get off your high horse. You're not even a military service. Just glorified paramilitary cops.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps > Coast Guard

They're DHS unless we're at war, then they fall under DOD.

Idk why people don't like the coasties. They handle all the littoral stuff that we do on boring local ops.

I do have one gripe though. If you're going to steal our enlisted rank names, at least keep the same insignia. The Petty Officers Crow is replaced with a Shield, and the Chiefs anchor has a big shield placed in the middle.

You know what I think you are right, I stand corrected.

barrel roll · 03-24-2011, 05:45 PM

It's crazy, man. I had to correct the WIKI on it. There is no mention of DoT... well there is now.

once you make your transfer over apply for OCS and you will have to get accepted. if accepted then you go through a 17 week "boot camp".
