PERSONAL GROWTH

What can your son or daughter expect to get out of the Coast Guard?

Honor, respect and a devotion to duty.

Honor: We instill in all Guardians a high standard of integrity. Guardians are taught to never lie, cheat or steal. We want our men and women to always make the right moral choices.

Respect: We teach Guardians to respect every person he or she meets. To treat everyone equally, no matter who they are or what they do.

Devotion to Duty: No matter where a Guardian serves or what duties he or she are assigned, each is held accountable to do his or her job to the best of that Guardian's abilities. No excuses. No alibis. The public needs us, and we understand that responsibility.
