Question
i want to enlist for the coast quard but im not graduated. is there anything i can do to enlist and start my basic training?

Answer
Dear Drew --

You can enlist in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP).  That guarantees you a billet for training and a report date for entering the Coast Guard.  However, you would not start your training until you have graduated from high school.

Good luck to you.
