I'll play- Since my DS was Appointed to USCGA the responses that come to mind are:
Where is that? Florida?
Does he like boats?
Why?
Why not West Point?
Why not the Naval Academy?
Why not the Air Force Academy?
What's the difference between that and Merchant Marine?
Where is Merchant Marine?
He's not going to college?
Will he go to college when he's finished?
I have a (insert weird distant relative) in the CG. They LOVE IT!
I am gentle and informative and simply say that it is the Coast Guard's version of West Point, he will graduate in 4 years and earn a commision. They seem to understand.......I think......maybe.
