Shipmates,
The Vice Commandant and I were at Station Castle Hill, RI last Wednesday for the Change of Command. CWO Kevin Galvin was relieved by CWO Tom Guthlein. The change of command was meaningful to both VADM Crea and me because both Kevin and Tom had worked for us before. It was also special because this was the first time an Ancient Keeper was relieved by the incoming commanding officer. Following the change of command, I presided over the Ancient Keeper Change of Watch. The Ancient Gold Mariner (VADM Papp) was on travel out of the country and could not attend, but the remaining "ancients" were there: VADM Crea (Gold Ancient Albatross), AMTCS McDougal (Silver Ancient Albatross), GMCS Kukla (Silver Ancient Mariner), and the newest, CWO Kuthlein (Ancient Keeper). We captured the four on camera at the reception!
Good luck Kevin Galvin; thanks for your service. Welcome aboard Tom Guthlein.
All Hail the Ancient Ones.
