The USCG is a good place for adrenaline junkies that like to help people. Good luck with your decision!

Personally I would look at Aviation Survival Technician (AST).

Here's a link to job descriptions in the USCG:

You can try to be ASM which are the guys who jump out of helicopters when vessels are in distress. You can Go to a MSST or a MSRT which is a unit where you chase drug smugglers, jump out of helicopters on to drug smuggler boats. You can be a MK or BM and conduct maritime law enforcement. You'll be enforcing federal and some state laws. The coast guard works close with FBI, NOAA, ICE, DEA, INS, boarder patrol, and local police departments.

I personally work on engines that are small as a air compressor to as large as three school busses put together. I also conduct law enforcement and search and rescue. The guard is a great rush. Check out some videos on youtube and talk to a recruiter.

If you are going in as a private, you are not going in the Coast Guard.
