Getting sprayed with pepper spray came years later and usually only for those ratings that stood regular shore patrol watches. The Navy still does the CS tear gas chamber but I don't remember having to stay in the room without a mask for as long as these guys did in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xARfES6o0oE |

I remember a great picture of my brother from is basic training class. He is the focal point coming out of the tear gas chamber. Another point for the Air Force. We did not do any gas training. |

They just beat the **** out of you. The Coast Guard now does pepper spray as part of side arm qualifications. My grandson recently went through it. One of my grandsons was considering the Coast Guard. He wanted to be a Coast Guard officer. But he called last night and informed me he got accepted to Auburn. I suppose the Coast Guard is taking a back seat for now. |

They have changed from a search and rescue operation to a police force. I suppose that is really just a throw back to their roots. They were originally enforcing federal import tax laws and stopping smugglers in "Revenue Cutters". That is probably the service that changed missions the most in the US over the years. When I was there we were doing missions that the Navy should have been doing and that started in WWII, continuing up into the 70s. I had a shield on my sleeve but I was really in the Navy Reserve. The CG does not even have FTs now from what I can tell. |

I suppose the Coast Guard is taking a back seat for now. I was accepted to 3 universities when I went into the CG. Money was a big issue but I also had the draft to think about. At least that is not going to be a problem for him. I do think people will take college more seriously after being in the military, particularly if you have been in military schools. We only have to look at the original GI bill students to see that. You also get GI Bill money. |
