When I was a high school senior, working at a government facility is a dream come true. It has set a path for me towards success by having my name in the government system, gaining connections throughout the military, and experience a great work life. After graduating high school, it led me to then made the decision to join the military after graduation due to the inspiration that I have earned after working. 100% recommending this job opportunity to anyone who lives near any military exchange, it is quite an experience of a lifetime. Most importantly, you would be working at a place that gives back to others and its a nice feeling to have when working for any exchange but for me, its the Coast Guard Exchange!
If you love a challenge, love to travel, and want to be a part of something bigger than yourself, the Coast Guard is for you! You're sure to find a speciality that fits your personality. Advancing in ranks occurs faster than other branches of the US military requiring only a minimum time in your pay grade and successful completion of knowledge-based exams. You can be stationed on ships large and small, small boat stations, air stations, command centers, or land-based support units in almost every state in the US including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Bahamas! Healthcare covers yourself with nothing out of pocket and almost nothing out of pocket for dependents. Tuition assistance makes earning a degree while serving cost-free and earn VA benefits upon discharge to further or begin your education.
The Coast Guard is very focused on retention, so it strives for work life balence, career development, and other positive policy implementation. It is the most family friendly military service. I would like to see an updated weight and height standards that focuses more on fitness, and I would like to see an gender equal fitness standards at operational units.
