Tell her to also consider the U.S. Coast Guard. I served for 21 years and while it has focused more on its law enforcement and wartime missions over the past 15 years, it is still a humanitarian service at heart and that is what still attracts most people to the service.

It's also a small service and that means just about everyone gains experience in all the missions. I was involved in everything from arctic icebreaking, search and rescue, environmental clean-up, maritime safety, law enforcement and military readiness. It all depends on the main mission of the units you get assigned to.

It was a good career and I only retired because I was being transferred to Washington, D.C.
