Coast Guard Examining Part-Time Service to Better Man Its Force

Part-time service – like serving three days per week on active duty instead of seven – could help solve persistent recruiting shortfalls in the Coast Guard, the service’s commandant said Wednesday.

Adm. Linda Fagan suggested creating a category other than active duty, reserve or civilian employee, to describe service.

“I’m [going to] use the term part-time: You’ve got some level of benefit, but you’re working three days a week instead of the 24/7, 365-day contract that comes in,” Fagan said at a Brookings Institution event.

When recruiting certified aircraft mechanics or cyber specialists, all of them, including the “part-timers” if that category is approved, would have to undergo Coast Guard basic training, Fagan said.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Part time Coast Guard; cutting AF planes, cutting Navy ships, cutting Marine tanks, gutting the Strategic Oil Reserve, CRT, proper use of pronouns, making white officers a minority, making green energy for military vehicles the most important project, trannie spokesperson for recruiting.  Do I see a terrifying pattern here? :scared smiley:
