Like the order!
I was accepted to the Air Force Academy and Annapolis, but chose to go to the Coast Guard Academy.
Got injured and sent home, but I still brighten up when I hear "Semper Paratus"!
My oldest daughter joined the Coast Guard when she was 18. It has worked out really well for her. She’s thinking of getting out at the end of her next enlistment (next year?), and going to college full time, but if she’s offered a post on a ship, she’ll probably change her mind. She loves being at sea.
