Don't confuse a Navy BM with a Coast Guard BM. The rate is much more involved in the Coast Guard and you will be the one actually driving boats, doing LE boardings and all kinds of other cool stuff on the water.
WOW!. They STILL have BM school up in Yorktown? I thought they got rid of that where everyone could 'strike' the rate instead. Yeah... when you're a 'BM' your a "jack of all trades and a master of none", yet it was the most rewarding experience that I had in the CG. You have multiple roles as a 'BM' - Boarding Officer, Coxswain, JOOD/OOD of a small boat station. There are many roles which a 'BM' can take.
@shakenama They're actually moving towards sending more people to A-school and doing away with the striker program. In fact, reservists can't strike at all anymore. They have to do guaranteed A-school out of boot camp.
the absolute worst job in the navy. F*ck Boatswain's mates and f*ck deck department. there is one good thing about being a boatswains mate, and that's NOTHING :P JIMMY (san diego)
@hambone950 no, there is nothing good about being a boatswain's mate in any command. it's the bottom of the barrel job that they give all of the idiots who they felt couldn't hack it in any other job. That job f*ckin sucks and being in the navy f*ck sucks.
@jimmyshk Yeah, BM may suck in the Navy, but not it's a much different job in the Coast Guard. BM's often serve as officer in charge of their own stations and vessels. BM is what you do in the Navy when you can't do anything else. Not the case in the Coast Guard.
Every branch bashes on all the branches. But the marines think their the best of the best thats why they do it. The marines are still a part of the navy.
Yeah...sadly there is always a person who claim them self to be "future marine" talking crap about other branches. Some talk alot of crap about other branches but when they take Asvab they fail or are medically discharge.
Marines say they are the Men's Department of the Navy, well thats because its ONLY men, they lift wieghts together and clean each other's rifles. haha.
shut your mouth. god damn what are you jealous?. I know marines are hardcore but the coastguard can be too depending on the job. all the branches serve their part. so no body, even you should be talking shit.
It would have seemed a lot more relevant if dude didnt delete all of his posts... I only said "that's gay, join the Marine Corps" I thought about the USCG for a little while myself.. I just wanted to do something a little more high speed. If you asked me, we should quadruple the size of the coast gaurd and fund the Marine Corps better...and America would be golden..
I agree with you man. We shouldn't really be worrying about which branch of our military is "better", because we all play a very important role in protecting our country. Thank you for speaking up and speaking your' opinion,
