In this episode of the Coast To Coasties Podcast, I continue my 2 part discussion with MST1 Gavin Kline about the newest Warrant Officer pathway in the U.S Coast Guard. The intention of the program is to give members in certain enlisted rates earlier opportunity in their career timeline to become Warrant Officers which benefits both the enlisted member with increased pay and responsibilities and benefits the Coast Guard by retaining their skilled specialists they have invested into more years than the old traditional Warrant Officer path. For members who join the Coast Guard as enlisted and prospect to one day become a Warrant Officer in the Marine Inspections field, this episode is a great listen to start planning and making the necessary steps early in your career to building a competitive package in your future. Note* the EMITP program covers Warrant paths to Marine Inspections not all encompassing of every Warrant program. Please enjoy and reach out to me if you have any questions or additional feedback!
