Coast Guard Academy Class of 2009 graduating and divesting themselves of cadet life
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
I was on hand today as Secretary Napolitano handed commissions to the Coast Guard Academy Class of 2009. Under perfect conditions with blue skies and unseasonably warm New England weather, the Class of 2009 became Ensigns and began the transition from cadet to deck watch officer, engineering watch officer, marine inspector, SAR controller or pilot. Family and friends gathered to witness the rite of passage and Secretary Napolitano provided perfect remarks. The Secretary announced the publication of the first revision of Coast Guard Publication One, our basic organizational doctrine. You will hear more about the ceremony and the revision to "Pub One" in subsequent posts.

And two days after the CGA event, one more new CG Ensign was added to our ranks in Annapolis, MD. As possibly the smartest Midshipman in the USNA Class of 2009, Jeremy Runco chose to take a commission in the USCG instead of USN or USMC. About an hour after main graduation event featuring the President, RDML May presided over a cermony to swear in ENSIGN Runco. Welcome to all of our 2009 Academy Grads!
