I am currently taking out loans and working a job to pay for school. I do not currently qualify for the ROTC scholarship at my university, because my GPA dipped first semester. Would enlisting in the reserves to help pay for college be a good idea? Then head back to college to attempt again? I'm...

Coast Guard doesn't "kill" anyone, if anything they save more lives and police water, less than 1% of the US military is combat arms. Don't let your parents discourage you. Do what you want, trust me you wont regret it. Keep high school grades up, its easy just budget time

Coast Guard can be a safety school for you it sounds like. USMMA is pretty close to USCGA

For citadel 80% who apply get in only about 25% actually go. For VMI it is all about applying early to get your spot. In high school I had a 4.0 gpa got wait listed from vmi then couldn't attend because I applied late and the slots for the next class got filled. Send in your application asap...

Massachusetts should be easy to get nominations, depending on district

Idk how you'll get selected for field training, yet my school has a huge detachment very competitive. Summer classes help

If you have a high 4.2 gpa you can probably get a waiver. I've seen someone with a peanut allergy get into coast guard with a waiver recently.
