iCommandant, and fellow official Coast Guard blog, AMVER, got a nice plug from the popular online maritime community/blog gCaptain last week. Also touted were unofficial Coast Guard blog and Bryant's Maritime Blog, formerly the widely Coast Guard read maritime law newsletter.
We are steadily expanding our social networks to better communicate on issues that are relevant to the multiple maritime communities with which we interact. As we do this, we are also trying to improve our ability to listen and sense the attitude and opinions of those we serve so that we can adapt to changes in our operating environment. We appreciate the support and feedback from forums like gCaptain.
I would like to thank everyone who submitted questions for the State of the Coast Guard Address and I am sorry we didn't get to all of them. In the next week or so we will try to address those questions that weren't covered at the address and even expand upon some of those that were.
