I barely have good enough eyesight for AFA. I've always been interested in the sea. The Coast Guard does a lot of humanitarian work.

Thank you very much, AFA is really my backup, after CGA & kings point. If I don't get in I'll probably go to SUNY Maritime (excelsior scholarship) or just enlist.

Ah well. My school doesn't do JROTC.

This is probably going to be a very easy question to answer for the very informed here, but I can't seem to find it elsewhere on the internet My HS has civil air patrol. I know that one can get a nomination through JROTC, but is there any way to get a nomination through CAP?

Why does CGA not have a swimming requirement for enrollment but Anappolis does? The coast guard is less likely to require a crew to abandon ship

So you CAN'T get Lasik or Lasek?

My mother always says that "the reason the coast guard doesn't require as much swimming skill is that the coast guard isn't in the habit of running boats into each other.

I tried to write this earlier, but it didn't go through properly What exactly is Boy's State? All I know is that it's a leadership or government thing.

What exactly is Boys State?

I was going to say that myself :P

The school doesn't OFFICIALLY rank. Occasionally someone will leak the school's ratings, and a lot of people think the colleges get them.

Thanks for the response! The first thing is, I am a Boy Scout! I'm planning on hitting Eagle by the end of next year. The next thing is, and this probably a stupid question, but what is a letter of assurance, and how does it help? The last is, I thought that you could only do AIM the summer of...

I'm a freshman in high school. I'm a Life Scout, and should hit Eagle by the end of 2018. I've wanted to join the coast guard from a young age. I have a few questions about what makes an application look good. 1: I go to Brooklyn Technical High School, which is an engineering school. Is this at...
