God be with you,

Did you join the Navy? If you did, then you will be called a Seaman Recruit (SR). A private would be Army, or Marine; Airforce would be Airman Basic, and the U.S. Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Transportation in peacetime and the Navy in times of war. It has the same rank structure as the Navy.

at the moment, you are the highest military rank. "civilian"

IMHO that is who you will work for, that is who you are there for. you are there, so they can be home, safe, with their families.

Are you talking about the Kittyhawk? I thought that ship had been cut up by now.


GAR, thanks for the answer (ncis) I thought the tv show had made it up.


Congrates Caboose, you will be glad you did it at some point in your life.

Department of Homeland Security. and my mistake, it wasn't the kitty, it was the USS JFK (CV 67). i guess the deal fell through though. i can't find anything on it now. i'm not sure there are enough people in the CG to operate a carrier and all their canoes.

edit for Rupedog: Kittyhawk is still in Japan.

probably. and the move makes sense with all the drug and human trafficking interdiction that they are doing.
