It is not as hard as alot of people think


This. I just showed up with a travel bag at the gate and asked where I registered. They had a cadet take me over to the registrars office, arranged a room in Sijan, then we went and had lunch in Mitchell. Took 3, maybe 4 hours. I started drills the next day.

Nope, the Coast Guard has higher standards than the other academies.



Uhhh. OK. I just looked - Admissions requirements

NO Congressional Reccomendation
NO Minimum ACT/SAT
GED is Ok

I am thinking you are a bit off on your assessment...
