    I called the Coast Guard. 12-15-2012 in LAS VEGAS NEVADA at 1:00 pm. I Informed the gentlemen that I was interested in joining the Coast Guard RESERVE as an Officer in the fields of Store Keeper, Psychologist, or a FOOD SERVICE SPECIALIST Officer.I was Navy enlisted and now have acquired a college degree.
    I was very perturbed by the response. He quoted the words of: The Coast Guard is not hurting for people. He said it over and over. I was quite shocked. Would it not be a better response to tell all the wonderful things the Coast Guard has to offer than to respond with that statement? Then he said If you have been in more that 6 years they will not except you in reserve. I read that it was 10 years active duty. He stated that I would have to pay my own way to the reserve unit in California and pay for room and board. I said I thought room and board was covered. It was painful to listen to. Then he said call the Coast Guard in California. I said what is the number? He said you will have to look the number up. I said you do not have the number to the Coast Guard reserve? Then he finally gave it to me. He stated they are better equipped to answer your questions. He stated it is better to be interviewed there and get excepted. He recommended, that I drive from Las Vegas Nevada to the Coast Guard reserve in California and be interviewed and excepted. I am a female attempting to join the Coast Guard RESERVE as an officer.
