PAY AND BENEFITS
We offer both active duty and reserve Coast Guard men and women a competitive salary and an impressive package of benefits. In fact, a young person just starting out in the workplace would be hard-pressed to match our benefits package, which includes money for college; free medical, dental and eye care; and more.
Our men and women also have the chance for raises and promotions based on merit.
Beyond these material benefits are benefits that are invaluable. Your child will accomplish and do things he or she never thought possible. Coast Guard men and women have experiences that just don't materialize in the civilian world. They learn how to lead, develop a sense of discipline and get a true understanding of the value of teamwork.
Most importantly, our Coast Guardsmen experience personal growth as they are instilled with the Coast Guard core values–honor, respect and devotion to duty.
Enlisted Pay and Benefit

(The tuition assistance program may vary and is dependent upon funding. Speak to your recruiter about program details and eligibility.)
