Trips with the Commandant

By Carl Seale, CWO4, USCG (Ret.)
President, CWOA – 1979

My name is Carl Seale, CWO4, retired. I was President of the Chief Warrant Officers Association (CWOA) in 1979.

I had the pleasure of traveling from Washington to Yorktown—when OCS was located there—to present the CWO award to the selected OCS graduate. For each graduating OCS class, I would check with the Commandant’s aide to see whether someone on the Commandant’s staff would be the guest speaker. If so, I would ask whether the Commandant’s plane was going to Yorktown and, if there was an open seat, if I could hitch a ride.
