Im in the army and coming to the end of my contract, I was wondering what I am going to have to go through to get into the CG. What will I have to do over, backround checks or medical stuff?? I have read the prior service proccess, no real help, it was stuff I knew about already. What ever info I can get is great

Dry Ice,

    You are going to do everything all over again.  You will do MEPS:  ASVAB, Background Check and Physical (if not current, I think within a year).  You will attend a prior service boot camp (Pit Stop) for a month in NJ.  You will most likely be brought in as an E-3 until you go to A-school.  Believe me, there is hardly a way around it.  I was an E-6 in the Army and am in the process of doing a prior service enlistment in the USCG as an E-3.  (Even though it is the same MOS {Rate}).  You are going to have to really want to be a Coastie to enlist.  The Coast Guard isn't like the Army; they don't seek recruits, they don't give bonuses, they don't guarantee jobs or stations.  But I think it will be worth it to serve Americans and not Iraqis, mostly.
