Today we promoted Machinery Technician (MK) Christopher Cleveland to Chief Petty Officer. MKC Cleveland will take over as the Auxiliary division Chief supervising eight engineers and engineering machinery including Air conditioning, ventilation, and fuel circulation. MKC Cleveland has been on board for one year now and his primary duties include standing Underway/in port Engineer of the watch, small boat engineer, and fueling team member. Congratulations to Chief Petty Officer Cleveland on your promotion!

Admiral List, The Assistant Commandant for Engineering and Logistics, visited USCGC STEADFAST today and recognized several of our shipmates for exceptional performance during our most recent underway period.

CS3 Hinojosa Spano served delicious meals, served as translator for foreign logistics, and inspired two nonrates to pursue careers as culinary specialists.

EM2 Oberneufferman fixed our gyrocompass, allowing us to get underway for the mission, and made critical repairs to flight deck lights, enabling us to embark a helicopter and safely conduct flight ops.

ME3 Studebaker was a vital member of our maritime enforcement team, serving in multiple roles across various watch stations while also providing training for other crew members.

Thank you to Admiral List for visiting, and Bravo Zulu to the crew!
