Question
Sir i wanted to know what do they mean, that you need to have two dependents to join the coast guard, I'm 17 years old and i want to be a UNITED STATES COAST GUARD after i graduate high school so what does it mean to have no more than two dependents for me?
thanks sir
Francisco,
It means if you have more than 2 dependents, you will not be able to join... If you have none, you have nothing to worry about. Thank you for wanting to be a Coastie, the best branch of the military in my eyes ;) If you have any further questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Eric
