What is a CGA scholar?

I am an average student but with a great desire and dream to be a coastie. Trying to calculate my odds and determine what I should do other than keeping physically fit. Unfortunately I dont have any AP classes etc. B grades. But a burning desire to be a part of the USCG. Do I have a chance?
Does anyone know if all the SWABS get an opportunity to go on the Eagle during SWAB summer or it certain companies?
Unless they are denied for a medical reason, all swabs will get to sail on Eagle for 1 week during Swab Summer.
Usually, Alfa/Bravo/Charlie get the first week, followed by Delta/Echo/Foxtrot, and then Golf/Hotel get the final week cruise.
July 23 Arrive Miami, Florida
Phase Change – 4/c 1st Phase
July 26 Depart Miami, Florida
July 30 Arrive Savannah, Georgia
Phase Change - 4/c 2nd Phase
August 2 Depart Savannah, Georgia
August 6 Arrive Wilmington, North Carolina
Phase Change - 4/c 3rd Phase
August 9 Depart Wilmington, North Carolina
August 14 Arrive New London, Connecticut
From your past experience, Luigi, will the 3/c who arrive in Miami on the 23rd be released immediately, or are there duties which will keep them there another day or so? I'm assuming they will clear out pretty quickly, given the swabs arriving on the 23rd. We know not to make any plans this far out, but it would be nice to know if he will be home the following day...for his 20th bday!
You can safely assume there will be a C-130 waiting to fly the 3/c back to Groton after they disembark.
