Shipmates,
On Friday (27 March) I visited Station Monterey, CA. I met with members of the command cadre from Sector San Francisco, Station Monterey, and USCGC HAWKSBILL and held an All Hands meeting. It was a good session and the topics included the new small boat maintenance program, our current boat mix at stations, the ME rating, housing, and modernization. Station Monterey is a good example of many of our stations as we await the delivery of the Response Boat - Medium. The station has three different boat types, but a one Bravo-Zero boat requirement. I am hopeful that as we deploy the RB-M we can look for opportuntiies to rebalance our small boat inventory to address problems such as the requiement for a second boat for heavy weather/surf training where stations have only one at present.
