The Coast Guard Reserve Is Looking For
Information System Technicians

The U.S. Coast Guard reserve is currently looking for men and women who have the skills and
education to manager, install, and maintain our information and computer systems. As an Information System Technician, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining Coast Guard computer systems, analog and digital voice systems (telephones and voice-mail), and installing and maintaining the physical network infrastructure that ties the systems together.

Our Reservists serve just one weekend a month, two weeks a year. And most serve within 100 miles
