    I am 27 years old and still have an interest in joining the Coast Guard.  I am a single full time professional Firefighter and EMT at a Class 1 department in Georgia. I love the water and have always wanted to join, but have just put it off. I know my time has just about run out. I have a 4 year college degree Bachelor of Science from Georgia Southern University. I have Search and Rescue training and currently am a member of Central Georgia SAR Taskforce 4.  I have training to the Technician Level in Structural Collapse, Haz-Mat, High Angle Rope Rescue, Confined Space Rescue,& Trench Rescue. I like the idea of being able to move and still explore the country and see other places. I love my current job in public safety and enjoy being there for others, and not afraid to put my life on the line. I guess I am asking do I still have a chance to join the USCG and what jobs could I qualify for? I am in excellent shape and just wondering if my current age will hold me back? Do I have a chance to make officer over time? What A schools would be available to me? I know if i don't take this chance I will always look back and regret it. Please any input, information , and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.

    Officers or Enlisted, they're both open but some avenues, such as the Academy and OCS, would not be available to you.

    You need to contact a Recruiter for the best answer to your questions. I'll give you my thoughts but a recruiter can give you definitive answers.

    1. What jobs do I qualify for? Probably all with your 4-year degree.

    2. You're at the maximum age for joining the Active forces. You could join the Reserve then ask to go active after a year or two. See the FAQ for more information.

    3. Yes, you can make officer over time. You're already too old for OCS but could very well start out enlisted, make the jump to Warrant then make the jump to full Commissioned officer, earning the moniker "mustang" along the way. It's all based on performance thus completely in your hands.

    4. A schools are based on the ASVAB test battery. Though I believe your 4-year may negate the ASVAB. The recruiter could tell you for sure.

    Good luck making this decision.

    Caution: I have two brain cells. Sometimes they both work at the same time.
