Your son-in-law is a Coastie? Or rather, you let your daughter marry a
Coastie?
Being a CPO should make for a nice lifestyle, especially in Alaska. I
assume
they will have base housing, and if so, it will be nice.
My suggestion to him: press hard for a CWO appoitment, and then do the
CWO->LT program as quickly as possible. Apply often, apply frequently, and
perseverance will pay off at retirement time when he retires as a
Commander
at 75% base pay. No OCS required, just a couple months of charm school
w/out
anything physical involved.
Never been to Valdez, but in that part of the world Coast Guard is God,
and
a USCG CPO even more so. The only thing that could be possibly better
would
be if he was aviation. (Tell him that and he will hang up on you.)
