Five MORE Awesome Facts About the Coast Guard
The Coast Guard is a misunderstood service. We get
called water police, shallow-water sailors, or puddle pirates. And while all of
those are accurate, they’re not the whole story.
Those of you who read my original post – Five Awesome Facts About The Coast Guard – may recall that the Coast Guard is one of
the five branches of the U.S. military. It’s responsible for a variety of
important jobs, ranging from maritime law enforcement, to drug interdiction, to
search and rescue, to maintaining buoys and lighthouses.
It’s left us with a lot on our plates.
In the end, though, doing all of these different
jobs has made the Coast Guard into a very versatile service. It’s given us the
opportunity to go a lot of places and play a lot of roles most people don’t
expect. Whether we're heading into a raging storm or dangerous combat zone, we'll go wherever it takes to get the job done.
To give you some examples, I made another list.

Job Searching
To some extent, searching for a job requires you
to be a sociopath. You have to be willing to act as though every opportunity
presented to you is the one you've been waiting your whole life to fill.
This is a bad economy. There may be a lot of job
openings, but businesses aren't actually filling them. If you’re unemployed, if
you just finished school, or if you decided to change careers at exactly the
wrong moment – even if you’re a great employee whose résumé doesn't rely
heavily on that time you found two quarters in your couch – you might be waiting a
very long time before someone hires you.
