Coast Guard Leadership Changes Hands

Coast Guard Leadership Changes Hands I don’t know much about the Coast Guard but I want to try to share some information that I saw today during my reading time. The news is that it is time for the leadership of our Coast Guard to change hands. I will try to relay what I read to you without messing it up too much.

Admiral Robert J Papp Jr will soon take over the helm of this venerable organization shortly. The Admiral has had over fourteen years of sea duty during his decades of service.

His first goal is to bring stability and predictability to the Coast Guard in lieu of all of the recent organizational changes to it and all of the other armed services. The flavor that I get from his comment is that he wants the organization to get back to business as usual while integrating recent developments into it’s overall operations.

We salute the new leader of the US Coast Guard and all of the Coast Guard ring customers who serve in this organization. Many of us are not aware of sll of the things that this organization is responsible for. They do much more than help stranded boaters. When I do the research to write posts for this site I come across many stories of Coast Guard rescues, and assistance.
