I have read a lot of the forums on here, and I notice how passionate people are about their responses; I must have came to the right place.
I am currently rising junior in Binghamton University's School of Management studying accounting, where I have held a 3.7GPA, and recorded stellar performances in my math and science classes. Not many business majors take math and science classes voluntarily, but I did in the chance I wanted to apply to the Coast Guard Academy. (Disclaimer: if I ever got the chance to go to the USCGA, yes I know it is a complete restart from year 1, and none of my credits/ gpa will transfer, among other stipulations)
When I saw the Coast Guard conduct their operations as a child, I always knew I wanted to do that. I can now say I am ready to start that journey. I am considering all options and programs, whether it is the academy, enlisting now and eventually going to OCS, CSPI, etc. I would even consider reserves along with active duty.
He are my questions and I hope I get non-biased answers. If I wanted to move onto a Business/Administration whenever I have fulfilled my role and am ready to leave, does the Coast Guard have any MOS that can supplement my future? What MOS handles port, waterway, and coastal security, drug interdiction, and migrant interdiction? What is the most popular MOS? Does anyone have a recommendation for a fulfilling MOS from experience? How does being in the Coast Guard set you apart from other military branches? How will being apart of the Coast Guard support my career opportunities now and in the future? Lastly, is the Coast Guard the branch to choose to set myself apart from others, and supplement my future in the best way possible?
I appreciate you all reading this and taking the time to answer.
