Ok! Time for another random Eddie question (take advantage of the new Coastie members...).
As services (I'm not talking about individuals here so much, more generalities), the Navy and the Marine Corps each have their own way of doing things, and have developed different attitudes, or "personalities" based on their missions.
What is the Coast Guard like, in this sense, in comparrison to the Navy or Corps?
(What prompted this question for me was that my cousin went to both USNA and USCGA summer programs. Her comments: Navy was more physically demanding, Coast Guard was more mentally frustrating and challenging. I said to myself: "I wonder if that reveals any truths to the different services' cultures?")
