Guest post from Rear Admiral Tom Ostebo, Assistant Commandant for Engineering and Logistics (CG-4):
On Monday, 14 December 2009, approximately 60 Captains and Commanders from the Naval Engineering community gathered in Washington, D.C. for a day long meeting. While the objectives of sharing Naval Engineering challenges, concerns and ideas and reviewing our progress on Modernization were relatively simple, the meeting was noteworthy, as it was the first gathering of its kind in over six years. As I communicated to the group last week, I am extremely proud of our Naval Engineers and continue to be impressed with the great work they do to sustain our fleet of aging vessels and support Modernization. I invite you to visit the DCMS Blog to read more on the program review and the information conveyed by Coast Guard Senior Leadership, including the Commandant, at this event.
