People's path to becoming rated varies depending on their circumstances and what they want out of joining the CG. Most people go to basic training, go out into the field to their first unit, and then decide on a rating. Some come into the CG knowing what they want to do and get a guaranteed "A" school from their recruiters in a rating that offers it. I'd call your local recruiter to get a better idea of your options.

I'm glad I found this video, I never knew the CG offered this position. As an aspiring electronics technician my goal is to work on my associates and most likely enlist into the CG to prusue this enlisted career.

Have you discussed this with a USCG recruiter? It took my son 6 months of determination to get on board. He is proudly serving now, overseas tour, that is unusual for USCG, and loving it. Talk to the recruiter and see what it you like about the service. USCG has its ships but they work under the Department of Homeland Security, completely separate from the U.S. Navy. The USCG has its sea tradition, if you like a challenge, check it out. (Retired USMC)
