    (a) The Coast Guard is a military service which operates within the 

Department of Homeland Security. All personnel enlisted in the Coast 

Guard are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

    (b) Any person desiring to enlist in the Coast Guard should apply at 

a Coast Guard Recruiting Office, or direct inquiries to, Coast Guard 

Recruiting Center, 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 450, Arlington, VA 

22203. Enlistments in the Coast Guard shall be for general service and 

enlisted persons may be transferred as necessary from one unit to 

another. Original enlistments will be made only at regular recruiting 

offices unless otherwise directed by the Commandant. An original 

enlistment is the enlistment of an individual who has not had previous 

service in the Regular Coast Guard. In processing an application for 

enlistment, the Coast Guard will determine the mental, moral and 

physical fitness of the applicant through reference to local police 

files, character references, employers, school authorities and physical 

and mental examinations. Concealment of any fact, circumstance or 

condition existing prior to enlistment which would render the applicant 

ineligible for enlistment may subject the applicant to criminal 

penalties under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and/or 

administrative separation from the Coast Guard.
