Many questions about the Coast Guard?
I'm trying to write a character for a book and I need some information on Coast Guard responsibilities and ranks.
Sources I've reviewed are the Coast Guard homepage, Wikipedia, Grunt's military site.
First I don't understand how Enlisted and Commissioned officers interact. Who commands who? Does an enlisted officer ever command a Commissioned officer?
Second. Where can I get a good description of a ranks responsibilities? Who commands on Lake Ontario?
I would be delighted to sit down and talk to a Coast Guard veteran to get first hand details and even accounts.
