Educational Travel Tours - Steps To Take The Coast Guard Aviation Program

" And I hope it does, i think the minority rate is close. But I am not sure if my school qualifies, i am very interested in joining CSPI. But I will really fly anything and work my way there, i want to fly Jayhawks or dolphins prefibly, my goal is to fly in the coast guard. And retirees, i've talked to many different recruiters. The following are opinions from soldiers regarding the Coast Guard Aviation program: "My questions are kind of difficult.

" And if so what branch would be the best. And then going direct commission into flight be easier, would joining another branch of the military, also. And what path there is the most efficient, i also wanted to know the chances of becoming a pilot are. And then blue 21 if I can, oCS, "I planned on CSPI.

" So easy is not a word I would use. You may get stuck in a stop loss and not be allowed to leave the other service, additionally. Plus flying in the other services isn't exactly a cake walk. You have to get selected to two programs if you go through another branch first (the first service then the second). Keep it squared away, many people read these interviews. . . (like the absence of caps and punctuation), steps cannot be overlooked, flying is serious business. "Take your education more seriously than you take your grammar and you may go somewhere.

" The website might be wrong, i would double check on that. I don't remember CSPI having a minority minimum for the program. When you follow the link you will find out Embry Riddle does not meet the minimum 25% minority requirement. To find out if your school qualifies for CSPI. Look at the information on CSPI. Course things change. It was a lot easier to get into CG Aviation, if you were a pilot in another branch of service, when I was in. Army aviation as a warrant than the CG aviator program, to get into say, "Don't you all think that it would be easier given our young lads experience?

" Just a different barrier to face, any way you go it is difficult. Define easy, one or two only so again. The DCAs are competing against other pilots and there are very few boards a year, additionally. You have a better shot going the CG route, so by numbers alone. Only about 40% of CG aviators are prior aviators so 60% are home grown CG, well. "When I was attending Riddle (99-03) I was in the CG reserves and I personally know two people that where accepted into the CSPI program.

" But if you Google "Coast Guard OCS Portal" there is information on that message board about AVCAD, i am not quite sure how it works. There is also AVCAD for Active Duty Members. But you would have to change to a school with a 25% minority population, or you could just apply to Blue 21. And then submit a request to Flight School, attend OCS, you would have to apply for CSPI. You cannot go from CSPI to OCS and then Blue 21. Blue 21 is a different route to get accepted to OCS and guaranteed Aviation. Only Blue 21 and Avcad (for Active Duty Members) do. "CSPI does not guarantee Flight School.

" And even the USCG website, the OCS Portal, you can learn a lot more by looking around military.com. But it might be for Active Duty members only, i believe the Navy may also have a Warrant Officer Program. And you may be able to lateral over to the Coast Guard after you complete your six year commitment and until you are age 34, they have a 6 year commitment after Flight School. "You should look into the Army Warrant Officer Program.
