 We are pleased to offer the membership directory, which will allow our members to connect with their old shipmates.
 First, thank you for taking the time to volunteer in this important effort as CWOA continues to work to strengthen our grassroots presence across the country. We thank all of you for being so interested in strengthening our Coast Guard and ensuring our Coasties and Veterans receive the help and assistance they need, especially in such tight fiscal times. We wanted to touch base and go over a few things about the program before we send our volunteers on their way.
Force Readiness Command completes its official pilot Chief Warrant Officer Professional Development Class; building on its MODERNIZED READY LEARNING strategy. CWO class 08-22 started the blended course on 6 June 2022 on the TEAMS remote learning platform which provided a unique opportunity for 20 CWOs to become TEAMS professionals. Upon arrival to the in-person training the CWOs quickly became familiarized with each other and the fun really got underway. They were eager to discover where they fell on the DiSC grid, continue their team building, and master the basics of communication and management. As these CWOs return home, they will take the information they learned and add it to their leadership toolbox and respective wardrooms. They also developed an extensive network of 20 hard-charging CWO’s that will always be there to help them out when tough situations arise. The effort the class put in towards growing as leaders, Chief Warrant Officers, and individuals will strengthen the Coast Guards workforce for years to come. Thank you CWO Timberlake and CWO Baldueza for your exceptional direction and training throughout the course. Much appreciation to Mrs. Baldueza for the MOST delicious baked goods.

VA plans to change how it rates tinnitus. Currently, tinnitus is a standalone disability with a 10% rating. That means that even if a veteran does not have any other service-connected disability except for tinnitus, he or she can receive a 10% rating solely for the tinnitus.
