- WASHINGTON - The 27th commandant of the United States Coast Guard Adm. Linda L. Fagan delivers her second State of the Coast Guard Address, Wednesday, in Washington, DC.
Adm. Fagan describes the growing demand for Coast Guard operations around the world and the Service’s unique role and capabilities as a military service, law enforcement agency, a regulatory authority, and a crisis response organization.
She discusses the Coast Guard’s role in protecting the nation’s Marine Transportation System (MTS) from physical and cybersecurity threats, and the need for the Service to address personnel gaps, maintenance, and infrastructure challenges to ensure workforce and mission readiness.
Adm. Fagan highlights improvements made to the Coast Guard’s talent management system and recruitment methods and describes ongoing efforts to strengthen Service culture.
Thanks for the history lesson, and the future aspirations. But how are we gonna actually fix retention? How are we gonna fix unhappiness? How are we gonna fix the money issue?
This is why the next “war” will be on water. Cause we ain’t “always ready”.
This was gonna be my comment lol
We need more humanitarians in our workforce. A humanitarian approach within our organization and to all our missions. We have been so focused on STEM that we forgot our intricacies.
First one I’ve seen in a while to not talk about “super base Charleston”
But all I got was a history refresher, Hawaii and a couple saves that made the news, couple boats launched, PSC’s coming in …. TBD, some new policy of reporting, some expedited training program for an avg of 30 something percent improvement (our schools ain’t that long so maybe a couple weeks shorter?) and a grazing of recruiting.
Was hoping to hear more solutions
It is disappointing that the service still has to deal with budget shortfalls when it provides so much to the public and the planet yet the DoD continues to be showered with what seems to be unlimited finances.
Tried getting back into the reserve, couldn’t even get a call back…
This whole thing could have been an email

Her speech and public speaking are immaculate. You could not have been able to deliver to our nation a complete report of our needs, endeavors, and goals to thousands of people. That is deserving of respect!
BZ Admiral Fagan. You are my hero, an excellent role model. You have all my support, and I believe in your genuine interest in our Coast Guard.
It is a continuing National disgrace that the USCG is short of funds. The USCG was short of funds to maintain and repair anything while I was on active duty many decades late 70s and early 80s. I was in the USCGR as an officer. In 1992 I was placed in the volunteer training unit ( inactive reserve). I had 14 years and 6 months but needed 15 to qualify for early retirement. The Commandant took the unprotected reserve budget and cut the active reserve in half, from around 13,500 to under 7,000. I was given a cash settlement. It was a stupid decision to destroy the Coast Guard Reserve. Adm. Fagan is the first Commandant to realistically face the perennial budget problems the Coast Guard as an organization faces. Semper Paratus Admiral Fagan.
Core values… like that time everyone’s job was threatened…. No wonder recruiting is down.
solid
What are you talking about?
Our core values remain the same, and we shall cherish them as they hold the order in and all around our world.
@@paulaandrea8806 all military branches managed the mandate discharge poorly. Any E-7 and above can tell you that.
14 USC 3706: Temporary members of the Reserve; eligibility and compensation
This law could help with the workforce shortage as it did back in the 1940's. Pick out a quarter of the 20K+ Aux members to address the shortage. A path for members with qualifications would be low training cost, authorizes military leave from employers, and enables members to dedicate more time for a greater contribution to the country.
We should go full dod honestly
You understand why the USCG can’t be in the DOD, right?
As a 10 year active duty USCG member, I feel this was an outstanding State of the Coast Guard address. Admiral did a fantastic job of displaying the great work we do in the USCG while also pleading for additional funding and support, which I can assure you we need. Highlighting workforce shortage and how we are trying to combat this issue is critical. I honestly feel this was very genuine and honest and I can Appericate that! BZ ma’am! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
All big gov't agencies think they're underfunded and understaffed
Well spoken we are the best. USCG &;AUX
Make all military pay tax free!
Dear coastie . Shortages of uniform complete army scale down jobs y'all know didn't y'all create multiple branch jurdicition policy good Morning sgt at arms . statute. Soil or domes foreign
Currently In the process of joining the auxiliary. Would like to serve on a cutter if possible.
The aux is great. Been a part of it for 5 years now. Culinary specialist and watch stander could get you on a cutter.
Just go active duty don’t be scared
I already have a full time job as a firemen and emt, so this is the best option for me
The AUX is a fantastic opportunity, you can most definitely serve on a cutter, most likely not as a majority of your dedicated time, but on orders sure. We had one on the 87 ft patrol boat I was a part of who obtained his Cuttermens pin. 12th in USCG history. It 100% takes more dedication, perseverance and time, but is well worth it!! Good luck!!
If you’re an emt and firemen you can do both active duty. Aux typically have retired military members in it.
