PO2 Christopher Morehouse 179045 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does anyone have inside information on this program? I&#39;ve been thinking about my future lately, and the thought of doing nothing but law depresses me. I was thinking reserve duty would be a nice way to shake things up, but I want to do it as an officer. <br /><br />I looked at the Navy, but they are rather job specific in their openings. And, I am not terribly interested in the Army or Air Force (no offense, boys and girls). I saw the Coast Guard&#39;s SRDC program and it looks promising. <br /><br />I would appreciate any info. Thanks! 2014-07-15T20:03:30-04:00 PO2 Christopher Morehouse 179045

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why not the Marines then? Be like A Few Good Men.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m just now seeing this so sorry for very late response.<br /><br />The biggest portion for this is your board interview. It&#39;s your total packet overall but a huge, huge influence comes from your board interview. We do accept non-Coast Guardsman (look at me using the term properly!) as long as you have prior military which you do.<br /><br />To start you&#39;ll need to meet with a recruiter. Most of the process is on you and that&#39;s on purpose. How bad do you want it? You need to work hard on your essay and what you&#39;re bringing to the table. How good were your grades? Do you have a graduate degree? Volunteer work? It&#39;s all evaluated. <br /><br />The slots are very, very limited. We might only commission 50 new reserve Ensigns a year but thousands apply. In my class only 4 of us had only applied once. I was one of the four. Of the total 29 of us, only 5 didn&#39;t have graduate degrees (again that was me). So what else are you doing? I had very good grades in college, a solid law enforcement background and a very good board interview recommendation. <br /><br />If you want it, go for it and keep at it. Don&#39;t get discouraged if you get denied the first time. Keep re-applying. <br /><br />Good luck!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Recommend you contact a Coast Guard Unit and a Recruiter.
