USMMA VS USCGA?

[Flyboy42]

I have appointments to both service academies. I've just spent 2 years at a prep school and now i'm torn between the two. I've always wanted to go Navy or Marine Corps but I'm 100% open to Coast Guard at this point also. I also want to fly.

1.)That being ssid does anyone know the possibilities of cross commissioning Navy out of CGA & if possible can a flight school slot be obtained cross commissioning?

2.) Does anyone know the number of flight school slots per class for both of these academies?

3.) If you have any other advice toward making this decision I would love the potential help in this choice I have to make!

Thank you!

Zero, or close to zero. Why would the Coast Guard and DHS want someone that they've invested heavily in and is fully qualified to be a Coast Guard officer to go to another branch in the DoD?

Flight spots vary by the needs of the service, but at KP you have the option of Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Air Force flight. Same can't be said at the USCGA. One branch just has to offer you a contract.
