Any input or info is appreciated and welcomed. I am wondering what the requirements for the direct petty officer program are.
I am 20 years old, I'll be 21 in October, and considering enlisting into the coast guard. I recently took the asvab and scored an 87, and I require no waivers. I'm considering enlisting into the coast guard reserves and eventually becoming an officer.
I'll soon be recieving my associates degree in culinary arts from the culinary institute of america. Does the rating food service specialist fall under this program?
How do I apply? Would I be paid as an E-4 during boot camp, or after A school? Once I complete my bachelors degree, generally speaking, how difficult is it to go from enlisted to officer? What about being a reserve officer? How competitive? Would I be finishing my enlisted contract, or be signing a completely new one? Thanks again for reading, please feel free to comment.
Sincerely, Holly. Holly, Your best bet would be to call your local recruiting office. No matter the program, training consists of military courtesies, drills and ceremonies, military conduct, leadership, seamanship, uniforms, ranks and rates, career development, first aid and survival, fitness, wellness and quality of life, Coast Guard history, traditions, and values, safety, damage control, small arms, Coast Guard assets and missions, administration and personal finance, watch standing, security and communications.
You will be tested on your physical abilities. The chart below illustrates the physical requirements all recruits must meet in order to graduate basic training. Those who fail will be given additional instruction and coaching — but you should come to basic training mentally and physically prepared.
The more abilities you have, the more comfortable you'll be. The training staff at Cape May is there to help, but time is short and training is intense. Come prepared. By the end of training, you and your fellow reservists will be a confident and disciplined team of Coast Guardsmen.
In the first year, basic training or DEPOT satisfies the two-week annual training commitment for both reserve enlisted and officer recruits. Coast Guard class 'C' courses, open to both enlisted and reserve members, provide advanced training in your chosen specialty. This prepares you not only to perform your specific job or duty in the Coast Guard, but also equips you with unique jobs skills not found elsewhere.
Oh, and once you learn a topic, you are responsible for knowing it. Like I said, congrats on being accepted. Having said that, those 3 weeks will feel a lot longer than 3 weeks of your normal everyday life will. Being awake for hours a day and having to constantly absorb information while exercising in between, amounts to a VERY long 3 weeks.
Being that you only have 3 weeks to complete the program and that you are older, the Company Commanders will somewhat expect you to show up knowing your stuff. READ every article on this website. They are free. The only thing they will cost you is your time.
