Hi am currently in touch with a recruiter trying to be a AST for the coast guard I haven’t done my asvab and yet and kinda lost on where to start studying. I’m 17 in Highschool so if you have any tips on trying to score high for it the first time whether that be apps/websites that be totally helpful thank you so much!

Not so much a "should I do it" type question but more of a "what would happen if I did" logistically speaking. If I recall correctly, I would be sent TDY to an AIRSTA participating in the MAPP. After I pass prep, and get the medical OK, I go to school and pass(sounds bold of me to assume I'd pass but I want to keep a positive mindset).

If I fully commit to this, would it mean that my wife and all of our stuff would come with me to Petaluma for the duration of A school or could I choose to keep her at our current station?

Some background, I'm currently a PO2 in D11. I initially joined to be an AST but got cold feet in prep. I went a different rate, made second class and got transferred to my hometown. I put some of the blame on my first unit for not allowing me to get time in with the swimmers but at the same time I know that I signed up for that and it's not really an excuse when plenty of swimmers have made it through coming from a cutter, and not afforded the opportunity to go and workout with swimmers.
