As ex-navy I found it strange when I got confirmation that the coasties have bootcamp wash out rates that make the jarheads look tame.

Most of them wash out of Coast Guard boot camp because they are too short.
You have to be 6 feet tall in the Coast Guard so you can walk back to shore when your boat sinks.
Very poor excuse for humor.As ex-navy I found it strange when I got confirmation that the coasties have bootcamp wash out rates that make the jarheads look tame.

what kind of standards/grading did they use?, but are not limited to, long range marksmanship, observation, reconnaissance and reporting abilities, and abilities to move with stealth and concealment,
So, a shooting match where the scores are within a couple of points determines which is the better sniper team? Everyone in the Marine Corps is a rifleman. I bet Coasties never handled a rifle after boot camp except maybe to chip rust off of the rifle rack.

The Coast Guard at sea rescue teams are pretty hardcore.
In the Navy, I was taught basic line handling. Coast Guard do line handling in 30 foot swells.
Going out on a tiny boat to rescue a much larger ship that is foundering in high seas?
That takes balls like church bells.

True! It is still fun to bust their balls!

Oh absolutely. But mad respect when they're not listening.

You should hear the abuse I take daily for being one of the few Navy guys working for the Army Recruiting. Not only was I Navy, but also the highest ranking person in the entire organization as an O-4.
However, they soon regret it when I show them I know more about recruiting and the Army than some of those who retired after 20+ years. That's why I received my first promotion after only 4 months on the job, beating out people who had been there for years.
