Challenges Conquered

The Academy experience challenges your mind, body, and character. Whether on shore, on the sea, or in the air, Coast Guard cadets develop professionally from rigorous training and character-building teamwork. We instill discipline, drive, and service above the self. The experience is not for everyone, but the rewards are many.
