I didn't.
I take it back, your right.....I don't miss it either.
I didn't.
It will be if they get all those A10s that the USAF is dumping.
cb7893, It didn't turn out so good when the Navy gave us the E2 Hawkeyes. I had a fellow aviator friend aboard.....

Wrong, the planes were worn out-overstressed-the rejects the Navy sent to the CG. Hence, the program came to a grinding halt after the accident. Where's your info coming from?Poor maintenance by the CG isn't the Navy's fault.
Ya'll got it all wrong. Why would you want to work for a living?
I told the truth! The CG is a cup cake. All these under paid-equality to the outside 24/7 rants ya'll make ain't what it's like on ole CG.
Ranked 84ish that sucks, I would have thought more like in the top 10.
Resume' time for clep and lits--34yrs of experience how bout you (I'd love to hear all about it)? btw, I didn't know "my kid"--who is much more than a son than you would ever know -- went to Kings Point- you have no right to bring my son into your crap-btw he turned down CGA and KP.
For the rest, I meant it! The CG is the best gig out there-I see it everyday! I would feel a lot better if my son was in the CG.
Poor maintenance by the CG isn't the Navy's fault.
I guess I can claim nine years experience (in the Coast Guard), which I valued but obviously, it's not 34 years. So, you got out of the Coast Guard (as an officer) in 2012? Or are you also adding in your civilian time (I'm assuming you added your 4 years at CGA in).
I'm not trying to bring your son into "my crap." I'm trying to understand where cga82 of 2011, waxing about the love of his/her old ice breaker experiences went, to be replaced with broken-soapbox cga82.... constantly crying about disability and sleep apnea. Did something happen in the last five years to sour your experience?
I get the feeling you think the issues with the VA process are centered on the Coast Guard. They aren't. In fact, I don't doubt that Coast Guard veterans make up a very small percentage of disability cases.
Now you can say it's cupcake. That's fine. And I'm sure for a good portion of your career, you and your buddies were involved with missions while your DOD friends were in constant training. Obviously, since 2001, that has changed. I see nothing more "cupcake" about a 2-3 month patrol on a 210' or 270' foot cutter than I would for a year patrol on a 1,200 aircraft carrier. Yes, Navy ships are gone longer, but once they're back, they're also back longer. It's hard to "get a flow" going out for 2 months, in for a month, out for two, in for one, out for two, in for one... etc. You get the point. My 210' cutter was away from home for more time, in one year, than my Navy friends' frigates (which I found out while I was at a Navy school).
And if you think the Coast Guard is the best gig in town, inside or outside of the military, I recommend getting out a little. While there are certainly some very exciting things to do in the Coast Guard, the outside has some very attractive stuff going on that isn't rooted in 200+ years of tradition and government organization. Honestly, it's spot on Forbes 500 is pretty impressive when you think about all of the alternatives.
So honestly, cga82, what happened to you? Why the change? Why the USCG hate, wrapped in passive aggressive compliments? I just can't figure it out, so if you can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.
And the other question, was Harker a classmate of yours? A guy at my church was at CGA for two years, but left before 2/c year. I think he would have been class of 1982 but I'm not 100% sure (I also know it can be hard to remember people who left so early). He regretted leaving but he had some good advice as I was applying.
The huge embellishment like gone 3 months hahaha just ain't reality
As we all know, Submariner is just Marvel's copy of DC Comics' Aquaman.
No-one is blaming-faulting- the Navy here but you! Same old tactics! The CG new what it was getting and made a bad decision. Unfortunately, the accident happened and brought an end to E2C.
Aquaman hands down, Submariner is on Disability.
That's what I thought, you couldn't answer the question! You can only resort to a derogatory slur with your 2 buddies givin the thumbs up spike.I take it back. I have sorta missed your insane rantings.
