Roughly how often should an MK expect to do law enforcement operations/boardings? Also, are there any specific types of boarding missions that MK's do? I know ME's are dedicated law enforcement, but do MK's still get to do the "cool" types of boarding missions, like busting drug runners, smugglers, or migrants, or is it mostly relegated to "tame" boardings, like fishing inspections?
Good info, i have a question if you can answer it. How much time an MK spend time in a boat? do you have to stay days over there? i'm asking because i did a lot of research and i might be married when i will start my process to join in the coast guard and is somehing important to know when you are not single.
Luis Orozco It depends on the unit, but I would guess you have a 90% chance of ending up somewhere where you will stay at work overnight for at least 2-3 days at a time, whether it’s a station or a cutter. Bigger cutters = more time underway. MKs are more prevalent on cutters as well but you can still manage to get land jobs just as the other rates. I hope this helps! I was in a similar position when I joined, definitely something to talk to your significant other about but definitely do-able.
@@d00ditsjeremy If i have to stay 3 days working that means i would have 4 days at week that i might be with my wife? I know is logic but i preffer ask and be sure
Accurate info since my supervisor is also an MK2. Solid video!

Luis Orozco yes, again it depends on the unit
