Hi! I am a Coast Guard hopeful. I put in my application and am in the process of getting the required hospital forms to turn in, what my recruiter reffered to as the more extensive medical history form. I have been studying for the ASVAB and must say I am rather nervous. When I graduated high school I wanted to join the Coast Guard but my family did not like the idea and offered to pay for college if I did not enlist. So, I went to college, ended up getting married and having a child, who is almost 6 now. I am very close to finishing my bachelors degree. My husband is active duty Navy. I am now 26 and have decided I need to do this before it is to late, my husband agrees. Physically, I could be in better shape (cardio is my downfalll) but I am well below the weight limit for my height. I am moving back to the states next week and will be taking my ASVAB and going to MEPS a few days later. Wish me luck please, this is something I really want.

FINALLY took my ASVAB today. :) Now MEPS in two weeks. YAY!!!<!-- Edit -->

Good for you Kendra!! All the best in the world to you and your family! I'm sure you'll do great. Keep us posted and let us know if you have any Coastie questions. I'm guessing as a Navy wife, military life you've already figured out! :)

I wish you the best of luck, I hope you ace the ASVAB and clear MEPS.

Welcome Kendra! I am sure you will do just fine on the ASVAB, you sound like you are pretty determined. Keep us informed.

Hello Kendra, wow that is a big move on your part. I totally respect you and your decision to enlist in the Coast Guard I think that is awesome that you want to become a part of this great service that is better than the Navy! Haha I bet you're taking a lot of crap from your husband right now for this huh? Good luck with the whole process and if you have any questions feel free to message me.
