    My son is a senior in college majoring in Mathematics with a Physics Minor.  He is an Eagle Scout and has been very active in his college fraternity (in fact too active.  His GPA is only 2.5).  He scored a 97 on the ASVAB. He has been thinking about maybe flying helicopters for the Coast Guard.  Do you think his degree type and low gpa will hurt him?

    I doubt it- but a recruiter can help him figure it all out. GREAT competitive ASVAB score. If it's what he really wants he should go for it. But there is a waiting list right now.

    It's hard to say. The ASVAB score itself is great. As long as he got a 109 on the GT of the test, he has a qualifying score to apply for OCS. Based on his overall score, I would bet that he has the 109 on the GT. The GPA will factor in to the selection process, but it's not the only factor they look at. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Degrees (STEM Degrees) are a plus in the process. The officer application process consists of an interview with three CG officers (very important part), a written narrative (very important part), a resume, a physical, and a lot of paperwork. It looks like we won't have another OCS selection panel until next spring though. Have him go to the www.gocoastguard.com site and take a look at the officer opportunities section.

    Thanks so much for your answers. He doesn't graduate until December so it sounds like he should start contacting the recruiter pretty soon. He will probably do well in the interview process. He had to meet several Boards of Review in order to advance in scouting. He has a lot of self confience. The Eagle Board was murder.
