Coast Guard is definitely the most underrated and most unappreciated branch of the military.

Coast Guard Veteran here. Cool video. What I remember from Boot Camp is that while those quals were easy for most of my shipmates (pre-Internet) it was swimming that got people. I was a surfer so no biggie for me but if you’re joining a maritime service, you should be a decent swimmer.

Would have been cool to see you do the PFT for Rescue Swimmer

Something a lot of people don't seem to understand is this: to most in the military, they respect and acknowledge the CG as a branch -- they just make fun of them and pick on them, just like all of the branches do to one another. It's all in good brotherly fun. The Coasties are just a little more special ;)

Thank you for your service Austin! My cousin is currently in the Marines and I love these videos! Keep em up and stay safe man. God bless ❤

The Coast Guard was just recruiting people at my school the other day! :D

Now you need to attempt the physical fitness test for aviation survival technician’s (aka Coast Guard rescue swimmer)… when going through that school that test like an easy workout compared to the rest of near drowning experiences you receive everyday in the pool.

Small world. I served with Denim for quite a while at USCG PSU 312 as part of the DSF. He’s a good dude. Completed several triathlons and always was a stellar shipmate.

Austen: “You don’t think the Coast Guard is a real branch of the military?” 12yo boy: No Me: dead 😵💀

Definitely not enough love for the Coast Guard! Great job Austen!

Been watching you for years since the MA videos. Joining the Coast Guard this Summer and have been working towards preparing for this test and crushing it so far. Keep up the great content

It‘s so much fun to watch Austen smile through the whole time he‘s working on the pullup-bar. You‘re a beast, it‘s impressive. Best wishes from Germany :-)

Go on the coast guard water stuff. I think people will think again. Seeing them do cliff and water boat capsizing rescues in rocky water especially in the Pacific Ocean. It’s incredible. Heroes!

My dad served 35 years in the CG. Retired AMTC, now he works as a civvy for them. I spent lots of my time kicking it with those guys and spending time on various bases when I was a kid.

Hey! I’m French at the 3rd RPIMa (paratrooper) . Why dont you Try our annual physical test 👌🏻 first do 50 push-up but every time your chest is on the ground you take off your hands from it. After do 40 situp. Last but not least : the « 8 km TAP » . Run 8 km with your uniform, your boots and a backpack who weighs 11 kg , you have to do it under 45minutes. Hope you will read my text . You do a great job . From France 🇫🇷👌🏻

My late father was a chief petty officer in the coast guard from early 70s till around mid 80s he loved being a coastie. Served on the uscgc mellon and vigorous

This videos are good for deciding what branch you wanna go to if you think you can make it through all the training each one requires.

Coast Gaurd on top. Saving lives #1 goal. Doing some good stuff. Doing more with less!

I’m about to swear in to the DEP program for USCG! I am a lil bit nervous which is normal, but overall excited! I leave August 22nd

Thank you for this video, I’m always getting ideas and boost from your video to keep moving my content to the next level ❤❤❤❤❤❤, love from Ghana 🇬🇭

Joining the coast guard this summer. Im pretty excited. Great video!

Looks amazing! 🔥 We really appreciate your work 👍

Got out of Navy bootcamp about a week ago so you already know I have to binge watch all the videos😌

Honestly, this video is insane quality and effort. I subbed instantly, and I will never regret it!

Austen, in a future video, you should attempt the MARSOC Physical Fitness Test. Also great video! 👍

Do more videos with him please Austen!

After working with MSRON and some of the coasties there, I actually wish I would have joined the coast guard instead of the navy. They do some sick stuff

Thank you for including us in your video at the end!

🇿🇦 💪🏻 I am 53 years old, born in 1970. 👑 I easily do 100 sit-ups at once.

Being in the coast guard, been able to see some cool places and do cool things. Fun fact, we are smaller than the NYPD but do a lot more

I plan to enlist in the Marine Corps after high school, but those Puddle Pirates sure are amazing! Oorah!

can you do the coast guard rescue swimmer PT test as its the hardest physical job in the CG?

Great job! 🔥

Very interesting video about the coast Gaurd test. My son is in training to be a fireman in Arizona, he’s almost done. He said it was pretty tough.

Wow, pretty easy compared to others. Nice job!

Love these videos !! I ship off for the Navy in Sep !!

Videos never lack on amazing 👏🏽 keep it up Austen!!

Great Vid from a former 15 year Hooligan Am2 Back when I signed up there was no PT Test But I was in aviation so I trained with my rescue swimmer buddies and they loved being badasses Semper Paratus !!

🎉 Its similar with the regular once a year IPPT (Individual Physical Profiency Test) in Singapore Military. Greetings From Singapore Army

9:31 the smile on this mans face says everything

a reminder to like that ting

They are gloating ..as they have lots of catching up to do..but the enemy has come pretty far with this kinda free help, n motivational video

Austin’s grader leg tat look so clean

Great video!

"You guys can cheer me on too, if you want." *onslaught of impeccable cheering ensues*

Great video, the intro made me laugh 😂

😅😅😅😅 Austen is Awesome, love yals humor 😅 so funny 😅

Good job man, leaving a comment for the algorithm

Been there. Done that! It was fun!

you should try the IHC test for Hotshot firefighters, would love to see it

Thumbs up the vid to see Austin go work with Denim! That would be awesome!

This is awesome!

You should do coast guard AST requirements

I always hated doing our 2 mile on tracks. Hated running in circles

Yeah, but it still needs to be bigger, better and more powerful. They should be the operators of homeland air defense on the water, homeland defense from subs, and the main Artic force. They need more money and better equipment as well as ships etc. They should also have more access to autonomis mini subs for easier ways to stop drug/people smuggling. All in all, I think the government is the reason people don’t think highly of the coast guard(and merchant mariners).

The way you guys shhh each other 🤣

Do the surface rescue swimmer test. I’ll be starting the course in San Diego in 2 weeks.

Ive been really thinking hard about the coast guard! And i plan to talk to a recruiter coming October sometime, but ive been trying to train myslef on everyhing to be in better physical condition, i will admit the running is my hardest issue and i feel like that keeps holding me back. Ive definitely gotten better at push-ups tho 😅.

there all the military coast guard, army, raf, navy, raf regiment. all are skilled. as a contractor i like the occasional ok one i deal with and i hope to avoid the difficult ones.

Coast Guard is incredibly legit. People severly underestimate their work. We're thankful for the Coast Guard!

Semper Paratus!! ⚓

as someone who has been spending the last year and a half trying to reach these fitness marks its hella hard.

Very impressive performance.

Can you attempt the USAF DAGRE security forces physical test; I just want to see what it entails.

Austen Alexander the type of Zuniga who talks about Factor Meals in middle of a war

I really like your video's! I have a question: is this the full coast guard fitness test? Because I thought there would be a swimming part too?

My dad was a puddle pirate! Loved the video

Austen smiling during the chin ups is hilarious.

You gotta try USCG AST (Rescue Swimmer) PFT next!

Crazy I just got my boot camp date and then this comes out a day later

Gonna be joining the Coast Guard when I'm older (then later my local police department), thanks to show me a taste man!

You should try fire academy or the CPAT fitness test for firefighters

Man i wish the mile and a half time was 13:36 for my age group. Im killing myself to meet the 12:51 time limit, but I'm committed to being a coastie dammit!

I work with Naval & Coast Guard ships and any time I need info whether it be blue prints or general information about the tack sections or anything from the Navy members....they are clueless. Not all, but 95% of them 😅 Any time I ask Coast Guard members, they always know what I need and where to get it. Their ships are incredibly well organized.

Bro Nikko Ortiz was correct on how the coast guard act! But I definitely see some navy in there.

" hes performing better than his age...and his looks" KILLED ME LMAO

Good test for you guys the SAS training

you should try the Norwegian Foot March

I want to see you have an experience day with the coast guards

Str8 Fire 🔥

Austin, how about CG rescue swimmer quals?

Austen is a big man. It takes more strength.

Only Austen smiles while doing pullups

Hey Austin can u do the Dutch Carribean Coast Guard fitness test pls

Here in the Great Lakes - the CG is pretty active with law enforcement, search and rescue, illegal alien BS, and safety education and enforcement. They're pretty active out there on Lake Erie for sure.

Shhh save it for the outro Shhh we have a voice over for that got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha that was a good episode

Anything this guy does i would love to do one day

I wish I only had to run a mile in a half . Man that would be so easy

I'm 9 years old and I did 29 push ups in under a minute

You’re so cute together! Great duo

That was good

Good luck always 👍👍🇮🇩

Bro why you shushing him like that..TWICE 😂😂😂

hopefully in 5 years i wanna go

Magandqng umaga 😂Galing naman 💪 Ang saya panuorin ang lahat ng aktibidad ninyo po

Fellow Coastie here. 14 years

Bro I could see my house in camera when he was doing the run. That park is next to my house!!!!!!

Maybe my VO2max will improve if I just keep watching your videos. 😂
