Has anyone here on RP made the transition from the Army to the Coast Guard?

Sorry, my entire career was USCG. I do know others have successfully made the transition.

I don't know about Army to CG, but we had a Navy Corpsman go CG. He had to do some initial training (boot camp of sorts), but basically just walked right into it.

I made the transition. I was a Combat Engineer, Infantry, and a Medic then went in.

I transitioned from army to navy while enlisted, then commissioned while in service. There are always a lot of hoops to jump through, most branches figure you got out for a reason and for them to invest in re-developing you they'll look for some reassurance you're a likely long term investment. I was lucky enough to screen for a significantly under manned job and then was asked to leave early instead of what some of the others I met had received

It's been a while and I know it has happened. I've seen enlisted that have transition but never Officers but I can't say it has never happened. Call a recruiting office to find out.
