USCG 1987-2008, served (somehow) in over 30 countries worldwide, as well as Maine, Alaska, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida, etc. Chief Electronics Technician- was OIC of my last three units. In the CG, OIC isn't like an NCOIC in the Army where whenever 3 Soldiers are standing around they need an "OIC"... in the sea services OIC is a designated Command. Just had to dig a little because I work with a bunch of former Soldiers now.
Jan 85 to Dec 88.
1st Battalion The Royal Hampshire Regiment.
Served in Berlin, Denmark, Kenya, Northern Ireland, West Germany and U.K.
Started as a rifleman, then a short stint as 88mm anti-tanks, then Sustained Fire Machine Gun detachment (3 gun teams) Commander.
All the best.
