Ditto on the .40 Sig P226 HSPs (Homeland Security Pistols). Used to be Beretta 92Fs. Also various other weapons as mentioned (M16, M60) depending on what vehicle/craft is being utilized, RHI (rigid hull inflatable)), 'cape' class cutter, medium endurance cutters, or the big 400' icebreakers. Or whatever is being flown. Could get to learn a variety of small arms through big guns.

It is a wonder the USCG isn't totally confused, treasury, war department, navy, transportation department, homeland security. Sort of like being an ugly stepchild.

He is going to love being in Cape May for basic. Afterwards, request assignments (as they come up) in hawaii 14th district, galveston 8th district, or puerto rico 7th district for just great settings. Sector north carolina 5th district for hard adventure, alaska 17th district for way hard adventure. Whatever people like to say about the USCG, there is a long and proud history, from 1790, through service in viet nam, to the present. Best wishes - Semper Paratus (and) Essayons.
