What does the USCG packet of paperwork consist of?
A. In addition to the Certificate of Completion you will receive from the USMA course, the Coast Guard requires a completed Application (provided by USMA); proper evidence of Citizenship; an original Social Security Card (USMA will explain to you how to obtain); a Physical Exam within the last 12 months; a Drug Screen within the last 6 months; completion of a 1st Aid and CPR course (USMA Instructors are certified to teach); and documentation of your Sea Service Time (form provided by USMA). The entire process is covered during the class and USMA Instructors are available to answer questions and review your papers for completeness on an individual basis as needed.
