[thumbs up] I applaud anyone with less rational decision-making processes than me. Sure, I wanna be a
Coastie, but that means I'm 80% more likely to be shot by
drug runners (or possibly terrorists) than soldiers. And I want to be an engineer, so in all likelihood I'll end up sitting on my ass in an office and/or in the bowels of a
cutter playing with engines. [/quotes]

Engineer in The Army? In the Army you get to Blow up ****, Fix Bridges, Take Out Bridges.. That sorta of stuff.. But you might Just mean A Car Engineer, MEtals.. All that jazzzz
Note my emphasis. I want to be a Coast Guard. Not Army. Sure, combat engineering SOUNDS like fun; but it also sounds like you're entirely too likely to get your ass shot as you try to dig a hole in the ground.
So, basically, I want to build boats. Specifically cutters. Or possibly run engines.
