Join the Coast Guard, Get $50K

USCG is offering $50K signing bonuses, higher age limits, and lower fitness standards to get in.

I read recently that they were losing most of their rescue swimmers to vax mandates. I'm not sure offering $50K to less fit enlistees is the way to get qualified people. especially for life saving stuff like swimmers.

Signaling bonus?

So, you need to know Morse code before you join?

Is there a semaphore substitution?

Virtue signaling.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
