As someone very interested in the Coast Guard Academy, or direct commission selected school program, because of the ability to gain a bachelors degree and then serve, I was just wondering what kind of positions are available for officers. The website lists the descriptions for enlisted rates but there are no specific laid out officer positions like how the Navy has submarine or Surface warfare officer and the Army has Engineer and EOD officers. And I've seen some things about most officers being assigned a desk job, something I'm not really looking for in a career with the Coast Guard, although I understand they are important , I would prefer something more hands on.
