Shipmates
We were up early last Thursday and underway on a Station Charleston 41' UTB enroute EAGLE laying at anchor near Fort Sumter.
After arrival honors and a quick conversation with outgoing CO CAPT Chris Sinnett and incoming CO Eric Jones we held an All Hands with the crew and embarked cadets. The questions were wide ranging ... career opportunities for our new officers, the new law enforcement rating, and intelligence as a career field.
I also had the opportunity to meet our many partners from the ports of Charleston and Savannah. It was great to see our old friends from my days as the Seventh District Commander. RADM Steve Branham and the Seventh District Team (hat's off to CAPT Bob Grant) did a terrific job; as did CAPT Mike McAllister and the Sector Charleston Team.
EAGLE continues to be our pride and carrying the message that mission effectiveness at sea requires leadership skills acquired on deck ... handling lines, giving commands, and watching out for each other.
