The Amazing Race: Vice Admiral Robert J. Papp, Jr and Coast Guard Atlantic Area staff traveled more than 10,000 miles and covered seven countries to meet the hardest working Coast Guard members of the Atlantic Area. The mission was to meet with Forward Deployed Coast Guard members from the Northern Arabian Gulf, hold an all hands meeting with the Secretary of Homeland Security at Camp Patriot, Kuwait, converse with US Navy Combatant Commanders, and interact with officials in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, and Malta in less than 12 days from 30 June to 12 July, 2009.
“Mission success” said VADM Papp. “It was great to shake hands with my shipmates in the Gulf and to have Secretary Napolitano see how the forward deployed forces work and live. She couldn’t have traveled further from Washington DC to see the hardest working Coast Guardsman and women than in the world. I am extremely pleased at the work by every single member deployed to the Northern Arabian Gulf”.
