Compare Navy Yeomen to Coast Guard Yeomen?
My dad's a SK in the USCG and he really has a sham job. But he says the YN rate is even more ridiculous than his. So, obviously, I was considering this as a career choice. But I was wondering what the difference was between a Coast Guard YN and a Navy YN, because I kind of wanted to join the Navy,because my step-dad spoke so highly of it (my dad was in the Army before he joined the USCG,so he doesn't think too highly of the Navy) but I wasn't sure. Any light to shed or opinions to be shared?

It's too bad you consider your Dad's job a "sham job". I know lots of SKs who would take serious exception to this - they handle all purchasing and tracking of money for the Coast Guard. If this isn't done well, someone ends up on the evening news as "exhibit 1" for waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer funds or in jail. The job is far from a sham.
Likewise, yeomen handle all pay and personnel transactions for the service. Without them, no one gets paid. Sound like a sham to you? Personally, these are guys I want around.....
But to answer your question........rating descriptions are similar across the services. The big differences come in service culture, what type of units or vessels you can expect to be on, and length of deployments.
Good luck!
