USCG SK School is the U.S. Coast Guard's Storekeeper (SK) rating training page, hosted on the Training Center (TraCen) Petaluma section of the Coast Guard Force Readiness Command (FORCECOM) website. It provides an overview of the Storekeeper rating and its professional-development path for the Coast Guard's enlisted supply/logistics specialists.
What it is
The page is the public home for the Storekeeper (SK) "A" School curriculum information hosted at Training Center Petaluma, California, one of the Coast Guard's enlisted training centers. Storekeepers are the Coast Guard's supply and procurement rating: they purchase and manage supplies ranging from computers to boat and aircraft spare parts, handle shipping and receiving, track inventory, and maintain the financial and accounting records tied to those transactions. Unlike the Navy, which disestablished its Storekeeper rating in 2009 by merging it into the Logistics Specialist (LS) rating, the Coast Guard has kept SK as a distinct active rating.
Who operates it
The U.S. Coast Guard operates the page as part of Training Center Petaluma, which falls under Force Readiness Command (FORCECOM). TraCen Petaluma runs the initial SK "A" School — an approximately 8-week rating course covering procurement, shipping/receiving, inventory management, accounting, and recordkeeping.
Access
The page is public on uscg.mil with no login required. It is an informational/reference page about the rating and school, not a portal that requires an account to view.
How logisticians use it
The page functions primarily as career and training reference material — for Coast Guard members considering or assigned to the Storekeeper rating, and for those researching the rating's role in Coast Guard supply chain and logistics operations. It documents what SK training covers and situates the rating within the Coast Guard's broader supply and procurement structure, information also referenced by the Coast Guard's official enlisted careers site and the DoD COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line) rating overview.
Related systems
The Storekeeper rating is the Coast Guard's counterpart to logistics/supply enlisted specialties in the other services, and SKs work alongside Coast Guard supply and logistics organizations such as the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) and Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) over the course of a career.
