Hello,

My dad died today, semi-unexpectedly (declined last week). He served in the Coast Guard from the early 1970s to the late 1980s (I was born much later so I don’t know the actual dates).

Dad was *very* proud of his service, and I heard he might be eligible for an Honor Guard. Given he was in the reserves for most of his service, I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but if it is would any of you be willing to point me in the right direction?

Also my dad loved a nice drink (especially a Chardonnay or a nice cold preferably cheap beer) and would love the idea of fellow coasties having one in his honor tonight. He was a good soul, and will be missed.

So I'll be shipping off to boot camp in a little over 3 months. I want to be a DC, and I know that that, 9 times outta 10, is an underway job so you're just traveling around on a ship wherever they tell you to. That's at least what the ambassadors at MEPS told me and the videos I've seen about it have said. I just want to know if I'll be able to bring my laptop and switch 2 wherever I go whenever I get out of boot camp.

Any army personnel got approved for the conditional release? If so can you message me please because my unit does not know who to send it to since HRC returned my 368 saying my s1 has to send it

I am currently an alt 3 for the aug class of 2026.

Random question and probably dumb but I read that the pentagon is dropping its flu vaccine requirement for service members, does this mean that at bootcamp they will stop doing that as well?
