I was in the Marine Corps and got out with an Honorable Discharge. Now I am thinking of joining the Coast Guard. Will I have to go through their boot camp as well?
Thanks.

You won't have to go to basic training but you will have to go to an abbreviated version of it just to get you acclimated to the ways of the Coast Guard. You'll have to learn rank and sea going terms. As a Marine, these should be very easy for you since you had to learn that stuff in the Corps. You may even be able to keep your prior rank but doubtful since the jobs in the Coast Guard and Marine Corps are completely different and don't cross over very well. You might have to take a drop in pay grade. The best information you'll get is by calling your local Coast Guard recruiter.

Well if you call the Coast Guard a boot camp!! Just kidding The rest are right about the Marine Boot camp. Coast Guard is also not a part of the military they are homeland security and they do great things!!

No, Marines do not have to repeat "boot camp" in other services. All other service members MUST go through Marine Corp boot camp however.

NO, When you join the military and go through boot camp you do not have to do it again in any other one EXCEPT the US Marines.. But once taken Marine Boot, you can go anywhere else as Prior Service....

What is funny is the sarcastic responders who have no clue what the Coast Guard recruits go through. I like being the smallest, most efficient and most needed branch. Katrina, Iraq, Minneapolis bridge disaster... The CG has always been there look at our 200+ years of battle streamers. First capture in Iraq, first maritime shot fired in the Civil War, its always the Coast Guard that delivers and we dont need to brag. As for bootcamp, each branch has their specific areas that they focus on. Our branch focuses on swimming, law enforcement, seamanship and military bearing. Our bootcamp is pretty intense.

If you have completed Marine Corps boot camp, you don't have to go through any other service's boot camp.

I think you are going to have to take a refresher boot camp. It is like a month but I'm not sure. I just wanted to tell you too play you cards right. They really want women to join. Their not meeting their numbers for us. I just joined in Sept. I'm sure it hasn't changed since then. I bet if you really try you can keep you rank and maybe a nice sign on bonus.

And Air Force, Navy and Army Boot Camps. Not to mention SEAL training, Ranger School and Airborne School.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?5kCF
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Just call a recruiter. But I have a feeling you will have to go through it again.
Thank you for serving.
