It all depends on what happens to you while you in. Trust me. If someone would have told me before I went into the Navy that ship I was on would be hit by two mines, I would have thought they were on drugs. But that happened to me and 430+ other people. So you never know.
As to who's hardcore, You will find those sort of folk in every branch (and Yes even the Coast Guard). It really is all about attitude and what they choose to do while they are in. Depending on what you choose to do (or in many cases what's chosen for you) as Engineer, that can be hardcore. For example, if you work on atomic reactors on a carrier that counts. I don't know too many people that would want to do that.
