Coast Guard looking for more aviators
The age limit is 35 not 31. The big thing that gets a lot of guys is you cannot have more than 10 years of active duty. Like everything else however, that too is waiverable. Here is the link for more info... -

Coast Guard looking for more aviators
Bengalsfan, I'm not sure why you would want to, in fact the question alone makes you suspect at best :).....but yeah they are still putting guys into the Falcon even though that airframe is going away in the next few years. It is being replaced by the HC-144A (CASA 235-300M) CK130 -

Coast Guard looking for more aviators
Sorry....I guess I should have said that up front. This a program for guys that are already rated military aviators. -

Coast Guard looking for more aviators
Bingo, While we do see quite a few guys moving from rotors to fixed wing it usually doesn't happen the other way. That is probably due to the fact that not many fixed wing guys ask for it. That being said I do know a handful of guys that have done it. However, because you are currently a FW... -

Coast Guard looking for more aviators
Safesix, The Coast Guard needs pilots for all our platforms, but the Herc is probably hurting the most right now so if anyone would get some slack on waivers it would be a Herc driver. Bottomline apply and see how it goes. As for the O-2 thing that is still a fact of life. The reason being... -

Coast Guard looking for more aviators
Greetings All, Just a heads up for those of you that might be interested, the Coast Guard is holding another selection board for direct commission aviators. For helo bubbas you need at least 500 hours and for fixed wingers you need at least 1000 hours in something other than training... -

Brazil seeks indictments of American pilots
Greetings All, I'm usually not motivated enough to take the time to post my thoughts, but this story pissed me off so much I just had to say something. Hopefully the link works. Apparently the Brazilians think the way to ensure this does not happen again in the future is to ignore all of the... -

Coast Guard is looking for fixed wing drivers
SARDADDY, There is no message. The DCA program is still up and running so there was no need to send a message. The focus right now, however, is bringing in fixed wing drivers, especially C-130J guys. ck130 -

Coast Guard is looking for fixed wing drivers
Greetings All, DISCLAIMER: First of all I am not a detailer or a recruiter, so I have no agenda here other than passing along some info that a few bro's might find useful. The Coast Guard needs to grow some fixed wing drivers in a hurry, so they are looking for guys in the other services to... -

Uscg Medal Abuse
SIG600, Ok hell must have officially frozen over if I'm defending helo pukes in public but here I go....I am certain you meant no disrespect but you really have no flipping idea what you are talking about. When you see a CG helo bubba with a DFC on his chest I promise you the story behind it... -

Coast Guard DCA Info
Happybear, Be prepared to discuss why you are leaving your current service (Navy I assume). Make sure you can do so without being negative, which can be tougher than it sounds if you haven't thought about it ahead of time. I interviewed a guy that seemed to have it all going for him, but when... -

Betraying Our Troops
The reduction in ground forces jumped out at me also, when I read it in the paper the other day. When you look at the numbers though, the pentagon has been unable to fill its ranks all year because of recruiting problems. It just so happens that the new authorized troop strength is EXACTLY equal... -

USCG increasing DCA selections
For what its worth I did heard just today that the Coast Guard may be starting another round of fixed wing transitions next year to addres our growing shortage of fixed wing pilots. While this only applies to CG helo bubbas, I would assume that if they start transitioning our guys to fixed wing... -

Coast Guard age waiver help-
Mudkow60, Glad you were able to get a hold of him. I hope it works out for you. Have you considered a bribe? I'm told a little bit of Zima goes a long way up at CG Headquaters. Good Luck, ck130 -

qmaster3, Well you're half right....you get no extra points for the mammary glands. At least not from the selection board. ck130 -

Mudkow60, Send me a private message and I'll get you in touch with "The Man". He makes those sorts of decissions for a living. Bit of a warning though... you may not always want to hear what he has to say and there is nowhere else to go for a second opinion. He's it. Kinda like the Oracle... -

Coast Guard
Greetings All, Just to add a little more info, hopefully without stirring the pot too much, the Coast Guard does have a guaranteed flight school program. If you are accepted, you will be guaranteed a seat in flight school after OCS, and you will know this before you ever show up to OCS. The... -

Coast Guard
PSYSICX, I'm a CG Herc driver and hopefully I can help you out with a little insight. Getting into Coast Guard OCS is competitive just like any other military officer program. If you have a degree with decent grades you should have as good a chance as anyone else so put in an app and see what... -

What's up with this?
The reason is that every US contractor we have tried for the last 10 years has completely screwed us. They overcharged us, delivered planes way over schedule and in the end gave us back the planes far worst off than when we sent them. The Candadians haven't been a whole lot better but they have... -
