Age
The USCG enlisted force tends to be older than the overall
DoD enlisted force, but still younger than the comparable civilian group.
Forty-three percent of the USCG enlisted force was 30 years of age or
older as compared to 33 percent of the overall DoD, and 74 percent of
the civilian group (Table 7.4).
