JMT21,

I hear its difficult to get a fixed wing slot with the COast Guard. I was talking to a buddy about this just a couple days ago who was in the CG. He told me is difficult because they have so few slots. He said it takes a lot of persistence b/c so many people are trying to get in a handful of slots. Once again once you get picked up for pilot training I dont think that guarantees you a fixed wing slot...and the CG has a lot of choppers!
