E-9 Enlisted Reviewer Update and Perspectives

Shipmates

In one of our earliest blogs we featured an interview with MCPOCG Bowen on the significance of having an E-9 program reviewer.

Today, the first E-9 program reviewer published a guest post on Coast Guard All Hands discussing his experiences in that new position.

Since I was the Resource Director (1996-1999), I have worked to create a presence for the enlisted workforce in CG-82 (formerly G-CPA). It is critically important that we have a senior enlisted perspective as create strategies, develop budgets, and defend our requests for resources.

I have had the opportunity to talk with Master Chief Dykema and know we have the right person in the right job. I asked him to talk about his experience because it is important to create interest in our senior enlisted leaders to take on these types of assignments.
