What do you all think??

Thanks!

Experience in the USCG does very little in regards to the yachting industry. It is much faster, easier, and better to start polishing brass and washing and so forth. I have seen many friends go from deckhands to mates to Captains in very little time because the former Captain or Mate left and they were there and the owner liked them. Coming out of the USCG, you're still going to need to learn how to polish brass, empty ashtrays, and shine windows.....
