PERSONAL GROWTH

What can your son or daughter expect to get out of the Coast Guard?

Honor, respect and a devotion to duty.

Honor: We instill in all Coasties a high standard of integrity. Coasties are taught to never lie, cheat or steal. We want our men and women to always make the right moral choices.

Respect: We teach Coasties to respect every person he or she meets. To treat everyone equally, no matter who they are or what they do.

Devotion to Duty: No matter where a Coastie serves or what duties he or she are assigned, each is held accountable to do his or her job to the best of that Coastie's abilities. No excuses. No alibis. The public needs us, and we understand that responsibility.
