So I've taken my ASVAB I got an 85 which I was told opens up every job except AMT to me. I'm extremely interested in becoming a GM or AST although since I haven't been able to get in touch with my recruiter for the past week the full duties aren't clear to me. I get that GM's learn about all the weapons and are able to instruct on how to use them. What I'm still not clear on is are they like Coast Police/Patrol as well or are they only posted to fix/maintain the weapons? Also If they're not Patrol then how does one get that position?

I would suggest reading one of the other 25 threads on this subject, or check out official coast guard web pages that discuss all rates.

Mark:

I understand that "welcome back" is in order?

Jerry,
