    Cadence for PFE push-ups

    Hail and Farewell Event

    I think it is ok to bring siblings, but you were required to provide the names and DOBs to the base ahead of time.

    USCGA Class of 2025 Appointment Thread

    I would second this. My DD received her appointment EA in December. She is not a recruited athlete (hopes to play soccer though) and we have no relatives that have been part of the Coast Guard or any other military branch.

    Question about Acceptance Phone Call

    My DD received a call from admissions and missed it on December 21st. They left a message and she called back and received her appointment. I wouldn't stress about missing the call. Like the old saying goes, "A watched pot never boils."
