1. The ramifications of the Coast Guards' High Year Tenure (HYT) program have caused essential enlisted members to seek new employment, not by choice of their own. Bench marks set by the program has shortened the careers of both junior and senior enlisted members. Because of this Aviation rates are top and bottom heavy with a lack of middle management, over 300 short at the E4/E5 level to be specific. High Year Tenure benchmarks known as Professional Growth Points (PGP) need to be updated.

Recent accomplishments include a Division Commendation for my undercover role in the Joint Terrorism Task Force’s Operation "Phone Flash." A Letter of Commendation for my undercover role in an investigation related to the Weapons Trafficking Unit’s Operation "Southern Draw," and a Certificate of Unit Commendation for my primary investigative role in the Weapons Trafficking Unit’s Operation "Grave Digger."

The word “profession” can often mean different things to different people. At its core, “profession” is a strong indicator of both expertise and trust. In an article entitled “What is a Profession?” the author states “A profession is a self-selected, self-disciplined group of individuals who hold themselves out to the public as possessing a special skill derived from education and training and who are prepared to exercise that skill primarily in the interests of others” (Klass, 1961). I believe this quote, without purpose, has effectively described the Army profession. Army Soldiers have chosen a profession which requires them to make the ultimate sacrifice, preparing to give their life in the service of their country. The dedication, expertise, and moral fortitude required to enlist into such a dangerous profession is what separates the Army from all others.

In the past three years our team has been given the opportunity to attend this dive in-service training and it has been very beneficial for our unit and the department.

T.W.R.A. Dive Instructor Allen Pyburn discusses dive tables and performs dive table practicals.

A Maintenance Test Pilot (MTP) serves in one of two positions in a flight company. A maintenance company possesses one MTP position. Without an MTP, a flight company might fail. The same situation transpires with avionics technicians or aircraft crew chiefs. Leaders, especially senior NCOs, uphold standards, rules and regulations and cannot fall into this trap. The ethical dilemma surfaces as Soldiers enrolled in the ABCP not able to deploy because of the rigid rules of AR 600-9.

On Thursday the CECOM CG awarded Noel Simonetta, our CECOM LAD LOG-IT LAR, a coin for his overall contributions to our organization.

The 512th “Titans” also, lent a hand in Forging the Future by hosting the next generation of Platoon leadership at the Phoenix Forge. This event builds the bonds between the new leadership and test the mental and physical strength of our leaders. The PLs and PSGs conducted a ruck march, weapons training, 9-line medevacs, land navigation, call for fire and various other skill level 1 tests. Needless to say, at the end of this one day event the Company Command teams had a complete analysis of the participant’s strengths and weaknesses. Finally the 512th "Titans" were honored by providing the Military Police presence during another successful MP Regimental week, by wearing the historical metal helmets and Class B uniforms while manning the gates. This year’s weeklong event culminated last Saturday with the Regimental Golf tournament and the 92nd MP BN winning the Commanders Cup. The Phoenix Heroes of the Week are SPC Albright and PFC Crosswhite. These Soldiers from the 13th MP CO continue to selflessly volunteer their services to the St. Robert Volunteer Fire Department. They have participated in various training events over this past year consisting of beat the heat at the Fort Leonard Wood Library, controlled live fire burns, EVOC Training,
