Are There Any Coast Guard Wives Out There??

Question

My husband and I have been married almost a year. He's 26 and is seriously considering going into the Coast Guard.

I wanted to know what it's like having a husband in the Coast Guard. What should I expect? Will I get to see my husband very often? Is the job really as dangerous as they make it seem in movies??

All serious answers are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yes there are.

Seriously though, you and he should talk to a recruiter.  

The thing to keep in mind about movies, if they showed you the day to day stuff, no one would watch.  Can it be dangerous, some rates more than others.  We are a military service and law enforcement agency, but most rates are more at risk for a papercut than a shoot-out.
