Wow, I've never heard of that. I've seen many of coast guard guys...and there is no chance in hell that half of them could hack daily pt, because they don't do it daily.....and I've yet to see anyone but their rescue swimmers who are in top pt shape....and I've yet to see anyone leave any branch of service to join the Coast Guard....so, lol....are you serious?

Well this is a post I can agree on, partially. I was a rescue Swimmer in the Navy for 4 years. That was by far the most intense PT and training I have ever been through. During the 10 weeks at Pensacola NAS for Rescue Swimmer School, we would spend on average 4 hours in the pool, 2 hours in the classroom and about 3 hours of PT throughout the course of the day.

I will never forget doing countless numbers of flutter kick on the pool with our fins on. No matter how hard we tried to do it right, the instructors would totally MASH us on the pool deck. I guess thats what happens when some of my instructors were Navy Seals at one time. Damn I would love to go back and be an instructor, that would be so sweet.

I did have the chance to be an Aircrew Candidate School instructor, but I decided not to re-enlist. WOuld have been pretty cool.

On a side not to the PT comment made above.....Every service has PT requirements, that every person has to be able to pass. More than likely it is based on the job. For example, rescue swimmers, had daily PT to keep in shape and be ready for any situation. Now a person who joind the servise to be a photographer, well they will not have to do but the bare minimum to keep up. I mean how strong do you have to be to lift a camera and push a button.

Yes everyones take on the service, mo matter what brance, will be different. For me I loved it, would I do it again? Absolutly!!! I got such a rewarding feeling whenever a total stranger would walk up and shake my hand and say thanks, just because I was wearing a uniform. Little stuff like that is what made it all worth it.

Good luck !!! And do what you feel is the right choice for you.
