And How do you start? Q. I am in my second year at a J.C. But I really want to join the Coast Guard. How do I start onto becoming a diver and how hard is it to become one?

The diver positions we have are what we call collateral positions, so you would have to apply for a specific position that does dive ops.

You'd be one of the people assigned to the firefighting team on a ship but you'd have other side duties too. Some of the really big bases and training centers have fire stations. Another one similar to firefighter is aviation survival technician. Rescue swimmers are certified as EMTs in addition to able to jump from the helicopters and swimming to sinking boats. You'd be using your EMT skills from being a firefighter. Your fire fighting skills would wither. There are a couple of things that would hinder… [cont.] Answered by dlwr300 - Mon Jul 21 10:08:05 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "coast guard" |
