The written tests are likely as tough as the ones for sailors. If no tougher than the registry exams for a respiratory therapist, than that means I would have like made CPO or better. Might have even made it all the way to Lt. Commander if I advanced to officer ranks.
What I always found amusing is that people, even members of other branches, tend to be amazed that the Coxswains of USCG Motor Life Boats are usually junior NCO's (E-4 or 5) and it's not strictly senior NCO's or commissioned officers.
Someone fact check me.. I think the USGC does use a one-hash insignia for E-1.. the only Service branch that has an insignia for the starting paygrade...
@@Rokeen-Zeboss The bars on an O-3 in the USCG are joined at the bottom and top as in the USN and USMC! Compare them to the Army and Air Force and you'll see the difference.

You're correct. Retired Coastie here.
@@alabamacoastie6924 Thanks for your answer.
Correct. Another retired Coastie here. The Navy also wears one diagonal stripe for E-1.
Please consider removing the background music in this video!
Those are not USCG O-3 bars! Check it out!
