UPDATE: And then there is this little nugget from Vicktorya, who left this comment at my Facebook page:

"Hi Pamela. Thanks for the heads up. 

 For all -- Coast Guard is under Dept of Homeland Defense now, not military (unless, as stated below) , so anyone with one year of security-type training could apply.

"The Coast Guard does not fall under the Department of Defense. Until recently, the Coast Guard was under the Department of Transportation. Recent legislation has move the Coast Guard to the newly created Department of Homeland Defense. However, the Coast Guard is considered a military service, because, during times of war or conflict, the President of the United States can transfer any or all assets of the Coast Guard to the Department of the Navy. In fact, this has been done in almost every single conflict that the United States have ever been involved in. The Coast Guard is commanded by a 4-star admiral, known as the Coast Guard Commandant.""
