Any coasties here?
I'm thinking about the Coast Guard after college....and I really don't know much about it. Do we have anyone here that can give some insight? Is the training similar to any of the other branches? Still 9 weeks?
I want to be a pilot, but am unsure of the process. And our nearest recruiter is in Indianapolis.
Granted this is all after college, I want to get my education out of the way before I do any service.

There are at least two training bases here in NJ/NYC. Training to be a pilot? You would be better off going to the navy. You will mostly fly helos to rescue stranded sailors or possibly fixed wing behemoths like the C 47. Is that what you want to do?

Yes, I want to (hopefully) fly rotary wing aircraft in search and rescue missions.
