3. Membership to the Boat Forces Advisory Council will allow me an opportunity to assist in shaping the Boat Forces community and to provide insight to a consistently evolving mission. I feel the Coast Guard forms policy and procedures based off of operational, ‘deck plate’ level feedback and insight. My operational background and experience on several different platforms as well as the collateral duties I have held have provided me with experience and insight that I believe would be beneficial to senior leadership. This opportunity provides me an avenue to ensure future boat operators are not subjected to unnecessary risk by helping to shape and improve the current standards. I feel I have insight and experience to offer the Boat Forces Advisory
2. Over the last several years, we have seen a move in the Coast Guard’s Senior Enlisted Leadership Roles from that of a technical expert to a leader who monitors, manages, and evaluates the readiness of their members to include training to meet Core Competencies.

It would provide midshipmen with the opportunity to explore prospective service selections which is an integral part in the development of future Navy and Marine Corps officers.

The theme in both the short story The Boat by Alistair Macleod and the poem Warren Pryor by Alden Nowlan have direct connections. Both works reflect the theme of obligation versus aspiration, and promote the message that it is difficult to be happy with a career chosen in order to please someone else. In each story, the protagonists feel compelled to follow a path that is not their own, but rather one chosen for them by their parents who are blind to the protagonist’s true desires. The narrator in The Boat is conflicted throughout the story as he tries to reconcile his own ambition of attending university with the expectation he will continue the family tradition as a fisherman. At the beginning of the story, he describes how his family is
The announcement by the Navy to reinstore rating titles was welcomed with enthusiasm by almost all personnel. The initial decision to remove them was looked at by the majority of navy sailors as an affront to centuries of tradition. Sailors take a great deal of pride in not only their branch and ship, but also at a more personnel level they take pride in their accomplishments in their chosen career path. By removing the rating titles and going to a strict rank and
There are many reasons I chose the Coast Guard Academy. However, the most important is the quality of education and a multitude of skills that the academy will develop me as an individual and a component to benefit society, and to become a better leader for the coast guard. Next, is the desire cadets have to serve our country, and their readiness for any situation at any given time, and the dedication that cadets put forth to get the best possible experience at the academy. Cadets and Officers spend countless hours planning and preparing for any situation that may come their way and when an opportunity presents itself; many are eager to take on the challenge and use their past training and knowledge to complete the test. Another notion for
Since the very beginning it was first established, the Coast Guard was never seen as important to the people for about 200 years. Why is it that they’ve never had notice? How come they do all the dirty work in the ocean and no one seems to care? Well the Coast Guard is the reason why the United States has been protected, so that we can go to bed at night knowing that nothing’s going to happen to us. There are many reasons to why the Coast Guard is so important to society. The U.S. Coast is a huge part of our military and follows certain goals on the ocean to protect us from harm. There are also individuals who are aware of the situations that the Coast Guards are going through and by helping they get involved with some of the minor
For my assessment of lesson 1.07, I chose to take the role of on a boat. I believe that this person smells the saltwater of the sea and all the men next to him that might be sweating in the hot day. This person is seeing his allies travel up the wall to try to take over the Empire. He also sees his other allies shooting their bow and arrow at the enemies like he is. This person probably hears the water waving back and forth and the cries of men that are getting injured. This person is touching is bow and arrow and shooting arrows at his enemy. He also is holding the side of the boat because the waves make him loose his balance sometime. This person fears that his allies climbing the wall will fail and they will either have to retreat or will

Setting repeated advancements, noticing phone calls, diverting inescapable buyers and haggling over the expense with different buyers can take its toll on your comfort and time. A better thought would be than donate your boat to a valuable affiliation.

I would have to say that this case could fall under the Limitation Act. Basically, the Limitation Act covers misfortunes that happen on the traversable waters of the United States to include individual injuries and damages to equipment. Traversable is a key point in this act because if the waters are not traversable then the owner is not qualified for the losses or injuries that occurred.
If you go to a tailor to have clothes made, they'll start the process by whipping out a tape measure and taking a series of measurements. The same thing applies when you are trying to fit your boat for a new cover.

Born into a family of sailors, international travel has been a theme of my life, giving me the opportunity to experience different cultures and to fuel my love for all things shipping since I was an infant. I loved spending my cherished summer vacations every year on board my father’s ship. My sister & I spent curious afternoons exploring the ship deck and playing pretend Captain on the bridge, while our Master Mariner dad took command of the actual running of the ship. Although, I was oblivious back then that my childish observations would one day be my future career interest, I knew in my heart that – ships, the sea and everything about running a ship is what I love. Today, I find myself fascinated by the Laws of the Seas, Admiralty and Shipping & hence I envisage myself following my heart and my love for Maritime by pursuing a Master’s in International Shipping Law.
