Coast Guard Academy grad, IQ 125
I've heard they actually have the toughest training of any uniformed service...
Being a Navy man, I had always heard that to get into the Coast Guard a person has to be a minimum of six feet tall so that in case your ship sinks you can walk back to shore.
Is that true?
*ducking*
A good friend of mine just retired from the CC...he was an academy grad. they had his retirement ceremony on the banks of the Anacostia River at Ft Myers. Very very impressive....had a CC ship moored in the river, had a helicopter (I think it's the lastest in hi-tech) just added to the CC inventory parked beside the tent, and the Navy band played! I worked for the AF for 21 years and seen many military retirement ceremonies but this was the best one ever!
