Education
As shown in Table 7.2, approximately
90 percent of USCG NPS accessions in FY 2001 were regular high school diploma
graduates. The USCG accepted nearly 10 percent GED holders this year, but virtually
no applicants without education credentials were accepted for duty in the Coast
Guard (one-tenth of one percent). For both the USCG and DoD as a whole,
the overall percentage of accessions with high school credentials, either diplomas
or GED certificates, was 99 percent, exceeding the comparable civilian group
at 79 percent.
