On June 1st, 2009 seven newly promoted Chief Warrant Officers received their commission during a ceramony held at the Port Of York located on Training Center Yorktown.
The seven CWO's were joined by family, friends and shipmates as the Master Of Ceremonies, TCY CWOA Vice President Andrea Currie (BOSN4) gave a brief history of the Chief Warrant Officer. Guest speaker LCDR Brian Huff gave an inspiring speech on the great responsibility that they now willingly accept and bare. Soon after Captain Milne proceeded to swear the Warrants into their new rank.
The cermony ended with many congratualtions and best wishes as they all prepare to move forward and do great things for their newly assigned units and the Coast Guard. I know I speak for all the Chief Warrant Officers at Yorktown in wishing them the very best in all of their future endevores, challenges and leadership opportunities.
Congratulations to: CWO2 Shane Barrington, CWO2 Donnie Boyer, CWO2 Oscar Burns, CWO2 Keith P. Edwards, CWO2 Keith Macklin, CWO2 Larry Niemeyer, and CWO2 Scott VinCamp.
