Vice Admiral Robert J Papp Jr. will assume duties as the Commandant of the Coast Guard in May if he is confirmed by the Senate.
When he is confirmed he will assume the oversight of about 42,000 military personnel and 7,000 civilians. He will replace the current commandant who is Admiral Thad W Allen once the process is complete.
He will assume control of one of the most dymanic, modern forces in the world. The technological advances that we have made in this decade puts our Navy and Coast Guard ahead of every armed service in the world.
If you have been following this blog you have seen the reports that we have given of much of the new technology that our Navy and Coast Guard has received. We have documented many of the rescues that our Coast Guard has performed over the last few years and much of the drug interdiction that they have done. We have even done posts on how to create your own Coast Guard ring, and the Coxswain’s ring. We hope to continue to bring you more good news in the future.
