Vice Admiral Papp met with the staff of the Atlantic Area Command Center. He wanted to remind them of the important job they do for him, the Coast Guard and the people we serve. He focused on the words “Command Center” and especially the word “Command”. They are all representatives of him as Commander Atlantic Area. They are running the bridge of the ship Atlantic Area. This comes from the Vice Admirals 10 years as Coast Guard Cutter Commanding Officers.
“If all I needed the watch standers to do is fill out the QRC, I could get anyone off the street to stand the watch. I need your Coast Guard experience and use your grey matter to give me Mission Cognizance and Excellence.”
He knows his ship is running well, when he can take a call from the bridge and not have to head up for every situation. During the passing information the watch stander knows that the VADM has confidence in them and they are doing well when he feels comfortable to just say:
“Very well”
“Carry on”
