Being an active duty servicemember is a tough line of work, and stress can easily weasel its way into your life due to the requirements asked of servicemembers. But our military personnel are still people, and like anyone else, they need a good laugh from time to time. Sometimes the best way to get through your workday is to make light of the work itself. After all, there’s no need to take yourself seriously all the time. Take a load off and tickle your funny bone with these Coast Guard memes.
Funny Coast Guard Memes
Being a Coast Guard is an important role within the military, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have some moments of levity. Enjoy a good Coast Guard meme or two courtesy of these Coast Guard themed meme accounts.
1. We Are a Branch of the Military
Everyone knows the usual routine of how the branches like to make jabs at one another, but the Coast Guard tends to get the short end of the stick. The reason is mostly due to the Coast Guard not being involved with combat like the other branches are, which in turn unfairly earns them the “girl scout” label from the other branches.
However, you can choose to either get bothered by it, or take it in stride. After all, you’re not the one who’s likely to get deployed across the world and forced into active combat. It doesn’t seem like such a problem to be a member of the Coast Guard in comparison.
2. When the Air Force Tries to Coast Guard
The Air Force and Coast Guard couldn’t be any more different if they tried. One is trained for air warfare and air defense, as well as development of military space research. The other is responsible for patrolling the waters of the United States’ borders to ensure that no illegal activity or enemies of the country make it through, as well as conducting rescues in open water.
Out of all the branches, the Coast Guard and the Air Force seem to be the most distinctive from one another. It’s not hard to imagine then how comical it would be to see an Air Force member attempt to get their sea legs.
3. The Left Out Sibling In Need of Attention
Founded in 2019, the Space Force is the new baby of the military family. Given the U.S. government’s fascination with space over the last few decades, it comes as no surprise that the Space Force would be the one to receive the most attention. Don’t worry though, the Marines, Navy, and Air Force are feelin’ it too. You know what they say: “Misery loves company.”
4. Flushing Out Toxicity in the Workplace
A healthy work environment is essential in any job, especially the military. Toxicity in the workplace never seems to come from the lower ranks and rise up, but rather trickles down from the higher-ups and onto those that can’t do anything about it.
Unfortunately, it’s a universal thing, and there’s not much you can do about it on the bottom end but just keep your head down and do your thing. But hey, look on the brightside – free cookouts are pretty fun!
5. The Worst Day of Your Life, So Far
Think back to when you first arrived to Cape May on your first day of training? What went on in your head?
Maybe you felt some doubt and asked yourself, “What am I doing here?” You probably were wondering if you were strong enough to make it through boot camp. This hilarious meme captures these thoughts perfectly, and is sure to make you chuckle, or will give you flashbacks.
6. When You Forget Your ID
Let’s face it, nothing is more awkward that when you forget your ID and have to cross into the gate. Ever had to do that awkward re-introduction, like ‘Hi, remember me?” Things can even get more awkward if the gate guard knows who you are.
This funny Coast Guard meme positions the mighty Thanos as the gate guard. Hopefully, going forward you’ll remember this meme, and it will serve as your motivation to always remember your ID. Remember, with just a snap, you might never get back into base again.
