hey i am new to this board. and an EM what do ya'll think about a 210. as a third?

As a third Class on a 210, its allot of work. Expect yourself to be somewhat busy. 210 are not a easy billet. At the same time I trully think that you are in one of the best platform in the coast guard to get your practical factors signed off, if your looking for advancement and a place to get your practs. sign, you are in the one of the best places.

+1 to the above post. Mind you that you go to a 210 to make it better than it was when you get there. Make the 210 expierience work for you. A 210 is a great learning platform to begin with.

I DON'T KNOW SCOTTY. the only hard part was working for you.


just kidding. it is a great learning platform.

Didn't you tell me time that you made it appear that I ran the shop, but you actually did. In that you should have been very happy. You owe me so many beers in VA.

The 210 is a great platform to learn on. I was stationed onboard one as an FNEM, and 3 1/2 years later when I transfered I was on the list for first class. It has basic system and complex systems that will help train and tone your skills. You should have a EMC and EM2 above you.
