At the time, I was a Chief Warrant Officer (Personnel) assigned to the Eighth Coast Guard District Personnel Office in New Orleans. During one particular week, the Captain I worked for was on leave and designated me as the “Acting” Chief of the Personnel Division. Normally, that would not be a very big deal. Life tends to go on, and things usually take care of themselves. 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.
