Back in the 1980's... I know for a fact that the Coast Guards pilots and aircrews went thru their BASIC flight training with the US Navy at Pensacola, Florida.
A quick check with the USCG's site states that is also the current situation: http://www.gocoastguard.com/dc/dcprograms/blue21.htm
So the NAVY teaches them to FLY... and then the Coast Guard teaches them to fly Coastie specific aircraft.
The Coast Guard shortly after 1985 started their own school for rescue-swimmers.

The best answer will come from The Coast Guard themselves

Most costguard aviators are trained on rotor craft. That is if you get selected to be an airman. Rotor hours are not counted by airlines, in other words, Regional and Major airlines will not count the time you spent on a rotor craft.
