He is a full time member of the coast guard and wants me to join the coast guard reserves. Apparently I can go right in as an Officer.

Good idea? bad idea?

I have to make enough decisions for myself. I'm not going to start making them for others. Do it yourself.

Do you want to join the CG reserves?
Why are you considering this?
What's in it for you? Pride? Patriotism? Shopping at the PX?

At this point we should just get him to make the wrong decisions. Eventually he'll learn and stop asking or the problem will eventually sort itself out (like how nice it will be for us when he's too busy training to post).

So yes, join the Coast Guard.

Future thread:

So I joined the coast guard and we were on a rescue mission. A couple on a boat had lost their way and got stuck in a bad storm. We went in a helicopter (it was so cool!) and when it came time for me to jump out to get the couple into the basket, I didnt know what to do... I tried to post a poll on ATOT but I couldnt get WAP service on my phone out there.

What should I have done? Jump and help or stay safe on the helicopter"

Negative


edit: apparantly the link to the 8 ball isn't the same answer every time, but when I asked it the answer was "definately."

The real irony is that makeadecision.com is his website and he asked us what he should do with it.
