Congratulations!! :)) How were you able to verify acceptance to the academy? My portal is still showing "Hold" as well as others it seems.

The running light?

Got a sibling in another branch that says to study up on some book knowledge like, dates, events, orders, etc for swab summer. What trivia about the CG will help me in swab summer? I heard at USNA they make you recite something about tar, or about cow milk. Does USCGA have any of this?

How does grad school work for USCGA graduates? Does it count as a tour? Does the USCG pay for it, or do graduates pay out of pocket? Or do they use the GI Bill instead? Are USCGA graduates even eligible for any GI Bill benefits? Does the USCG have a say in what you will study, or are you given...

Does your major dictate your eligibility for these programs? For example, are these type of internships only available for ORCA, EE or Cyber Systems? Or are these available to Government/Mechanical Engineering students as well?

For any current cadets/former grads, do any of you have experience with internships through the ABC agencies as a cadet? Just curious if the opportunity exists. Bonus points if it's CIA, it interests me a lot.

60 fleet? Do you mean H-60s?

Does an applicant's ranking in the NWL dictate whether he or she gets to go to sponsored prep school? Example A: an applicant was just on the bubble for getting in USMMA, but ultimately does not. But because this applicant was so close, does this applicant get an offer to prep school? Or is...

Wow that's quite a story. It sure is an inspiration. I have a feeling I'm lower on the NWL, and am most likely going for another go-around next year. I gotta ask: what was your response to Admissions question?

What do you think got you accepted for an appointment over the competition?

Commercial Aviation Internship? Wow that's impressive. How was this possible?

U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy

Is it possible for a midshipman to participate in sea-year or at least part of sea-year aboard a U.S. Coast Guard vessel? I have heard that it is possible to do so with the U.S. Navy, so perhaps it is possible with the Coast Guard? How might this work either way?

Wow thank you so much! Do cadets ever get to be on these cutters? Also, do cadets ever get to pick/rank which type of cutter they would like to be put on? Are the iscebreakers competitive to be put on? Lastly, do you know what type of Helo Ops are conducted with the cutters, (especially the...

I know that this is unlikely, but is it possible for a person to already be enlisted in the military, and go through PLC? Let's say someone is working on their degree stateside and is able to take enough leave to enroll in the 6 week training routines in the summer. Is this allowed...

Thanks! And wow that's impressive!

So just for clarification, all admissions decisions are made by April 1st, but appointments can be offered before this time; is this correct? Additionally, are most appointments released before this date, or on this date? Do sports play a major factor in getting an appointment before the deadline?

Hi! so I'm new to these forums, and have heard that a lot of people who graduate end up on "cutters." How does all of this work? What do cutters do? Do they serve as a miniature navy? Does this mean that people end up going to cold regions with ice mostly? Or do people travel around the world or...
