    Hey there, my name is Jon. I just recently graduated with a two year degree in Fire Science (fire fighting) and am going to join the coast guard. This is something I want to do 100%. I am cuurently working with a recruiter but wanted to ask anyone who is currently in the coast guard or has been in some questions. I know the needs of the service, the needs of the service, the needs of the service is just about the answer to every question. Im fine with that. service to god and my country is first and foremost =) BUT I want to know if a guy in the coast guard who stays with it as a career could later in life afford normal things that a civillain could. IE a boat, a house, a wife and kids, ect ect. I do not expect to get rich at all being in the coast guard, nor as my other chosen profession a firefighter...but I would like to one day settle down and buy a house and live that little american dream. Is any of this possible with the coast guard? thanks for any help you guys and gals might be able to offer! =)

    The answer to your question is a resounding YES. Go to http://www.dfas.mil/money/milpay/
    and look at the current pay chart. With your 2-year degree you should be able to enter as an E-3 or maybe an E-4, although I'm not sure on that since I am currently an Army guy (hopefully a coastie soon). Keep in mind that you will also get an additional allowance for food and housing. You will also have 100% dental and medical coverage as well for the length of your stay in the service, as will any and all of your immediate family members. You also get 2.5 days of paid leave per month, totaling 30 days per year, that you can generally take when you want, not to mention that you usually get holidays off anyway, which does not count against these 30 days. And of course, there is retirement, which you can have at 20 years, or stay longer if you like. There are links on the site I provided which detail the retirement benefits as well. Best of luck.
