[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, why would they ever deploy overseas?[/quote] I was shocked to find out that the USCG does deploy overseas. From my understanding, they work with Navy ships in areas that have piracy issues. The Navy can't board boats or ships from other nations because it is seen as an act of war. So they send in Coast Guard personal. And FYI- if you get into IT in the USCG you might be stationed in West Virginia. [/quote] And in time of war, the USCG is subordinate to the USN and seeing combat isn't out of the question. The USCG's sole Medal of Honor recipient died at Guadalcanal. It's not a nice, safe job like some of the PP's have implied. Can be, usually is, but it's still one of the armed forces and its reputation as a joke is a bit problematic when it hides the actual risks.[/quote]
