U. S. COAST GUARD RESERVE RECRUITING WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA

Hi, my name is LT Sandor L. Schump, and I am  a commissioned officer and work at Coast Guard Recruiting Command in Arlington, VA.  I am currently in charge of  diversity, and recruiting officers, and enlisted reserves into the U. S. Coast Guard.  I try to align my recruiting mission goals with the CG COMMANDANT'S policy by recruiting a diverse number of candidates into the Coast Guard Reserve workforce.  The motto is to "recruit the best ten, not the first ten".  My goal is to bring CG Reserve recruiting to the social media and to use this blog as a potential way to seek the best candidates to join the CG Reserve, possibly even a few in this class.  For part time work (one weekend a month, two weeks a year) we offer medical benefits, the Montgomery GI Bill, Dental Insurance, tuition assistance in the amount of 4500.00 per year, and decent pay for part-time work, especially in these rough economic times.  We pick the best of the best.  I will continue this blog throughout the course and update it with Coast Guard messages and recruitment opportunities as they become abreast.  Also, for those with a BS degree or higher, I will post reserve and active duty officer dates, times, and deadlines. 

Thank you,
LT Sandor Schump, 202-309-9843
