YNs are key
problem-solvers, counselors, and sources of information to
personnel on questions ranging from career moves,
entitlements, and incentive programs to retirement options and
veterans' benefits. They are the men and women who make things
happen, the indispensable behind-the-scenes personnel that
make any well-oiled organization hum.
Types of Duty
YNs can typically be found on large cutters and in most staff
offices within the Coast Guard. Although most units that
employ YNs are located in larger metropolitan areas, there are
opportunities to serve at group offices in smaller localities.
