My son was stationed at Coast Guard Air Station Miami. He learned much while there. He is now a certified A& P Mechanic and certified by the FAA to do aircraft inspections. I am proud of him and the USCG gave him a great growing experience. God bless all Coasties❤.
In 1995, as a civilian from Standard Aero, Manitoba Canada, I repaired 3 gearboxes on the C130H aircraft. The guys weren't busy so I got 3 teams of 2 and instructed them on repairing the units. We had a blast doing it as they had not seen the inside of a gearbox before. The guys were awesome.
Department of Homeland security, not the military.

Maybe read a book, preferably a law book, before commenting. 🤔 USC Title 14 states: "The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy."
