The Coast Guard is a fine career move. Your best bet for information is at their web site and with a recruiter.

The following are the basic requirements for becoming a member of the Coast Guard:
You must be a US citizen or a Resident Alien.
Be between the ages of 17-27 for Active Duty. (If you are 17, you'll need parental consent.)
Reservists must be between 17-39. Prior service personnel should contact their local recruiter for specific programs.
Have a high school diploma. GEDs are accepted in special circumstances.
Have no more than two dependents.
Pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test.
Pass a military entrance medical exam.
Be the type of person who wants to serve the public on or around the water.

You have to be able to meet the physical qualifications (weight/height/general health/etc), pass some tests they will give you, and provide documentation such as birth certificate, school transcripts, valid social security number, at least 18 (17 if your parents will allow). A recruiter will walk you through the process and help assemble everything you need.

Navy? Who wants to be a squid?LOL- Nothing wrong with ANY branch of the Military. All are just as important as the other. I would think HS diploma, very fit and above all, a good swimmer.
Good luck should you join..
