The 2010 Crew and Coxswain Academy was kicked off Tuesday night on the training deck at Sector Portland. This year we have over 30 candidates participating making this one of the largest academies we've ever hosted.
Each candidate will spend 11 nights in training on base. They will also participate in weekend on the water training and a night navigation course.
A special page has been dedicated to the candidates on this site. This allows them the to access required manuals and publications. We'll also be posting additional information throughout the course.
Please join me in congratulating Don Verkest and FSO-MT, Earl Olson, as well as all of the Academy cadre on a successful launch.
