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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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:
