Four teams of Coast Guard coxswains joined together to learn tactical coxswain training techniques and maneuvers at Coast Guard Station New London, Conn., May 27 and 28, 2009. These techniques are critical with station crews involved in submarine and ferry escorts in the goal of protecting the coast and the American public. Official Coast Guard video for Release. (Video by Petty Officer Annie Berlin)

@MonsterMotoxx Harbor Police. Municipal Police. Maritime Immigration Agency. Border Patrol. DEA. Customs. US Marshals. TUG Boat Captain. Freight Captain. Depends on what you want to do. But the Coast Guard deals with civil law enforcement so most Police Agencies like us more since we have more interaction with the public than military police.

One more question. What are the civilian jobs that you can get into by having this job?

Well first you have to join the Coast Guard. If you want to be a coxswain then you should choose boatswainsmate as your rate (job). Then you go through a number of qualification processes. You must first become a crewmember, then get coxswain (boat operator) qualified. Tactical coxswain is the next step up from that.
