The Coast Guard is the only branch of the military where women can do any type of job offered, which is a large draw for many.
The Coast Guard has the highest proportion of women, with respect to other services. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy was roughly one-third women in 2011 and was the first military academy run by a woman.
