In this episode of the "Coast To Coasties" Podcast, I sit down with future Coastie and super fan of the podcast Eric Slutsky, who is currently working as a Coast Guard Auxiliarist in high school and has interest in becoming a Maritime Enforcement Specialist (ME Rate). I ask him what interested him in joining the Coast Guard and why he's so passionate about making this a long term career for himself. We then discuss questions that himself and many other prospective Coasties have been waiting to ask on the show. Tune in to this first ever sit down with a prospective high schooler looking to make the Coast Guard a long term career for himself!
