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.

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:
