“The Coast Guard wants to broaden the diversity of its new recruits, and especially seeks Spanish speakers who can help it deal with illegal immigrants, Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen said.
Allen said July 10 at the Excellence in Government conference in Washington that the Coast Guard is having no trouble recruiting these days, which he said is partly due to the agency’s successful response to Hurricane Katrina. The Coast Guard’s retention rate last year was the highest since World War II and attrition is now at a 20-year low, he said.
But Allen wants to pursue a work force that “looks more like America.””
