10 Steps To Joining The Military

Step 3: Choose the right path

Enlisted Options: Coast Guard Enlisted
 

Applicants for enlistment in the Coast Guard must be physically qualified, possess high moral character and make at least the minimum required scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).

Coast Guard recruits must be at least 17 years old and must not have reached their 28th birthday on their day of enlistment. Regular enlistments are for four or six years of active duty.

Provided openings are available, qualified enlistees may be guaranteed an assignment to a geographical region (not an individual unit). Guaranteed geographic assignments cannot be used in conjunction with a guaranteed school. Qualified applicants may also enlist up to 12 months prior to beginning active duty in a delayed entry program.
