The July 2020 TRACEN Awards, held on August 1, 2020, were well attended. On a bright summer’s day, numerous Coasties received awards and recognition for their hard work and perseverance over the past month. Bonds with service members from other countries were strengthened, as well, proving that service to our collective humanity remains the ideal to which all should aspire. We were also pleased to see our Commandant.
Opening remarks by CDR Julia Raymond, G3
“Good afternoon to fellow Guardians and Honored Guests. My name is CDR Julia Raymond, and I would like to welcome you all to the SLCG TRACEN awards for the month of July.
“A good team needs the best training possible. Our training centers are the best of any group in SL, and our TRACEN Commanders exemplify the SLCG’s commitment to training excellence. We are constantly refining, and adding to our repertoire of skills and learning opportunities for our members.
“Today, it is our honor to present awards to the crew members who have shown outstanding achievement in training throughout the past month. I’d also like to encourage last week’s new Petty Officers to begin their SLCG Training. Please get together with your CO’s, XO’s, mentors, TRACEN Commanders, and myself and ask us how to start.
“I would ask that all Guardians receiving awards today please stand at their seats to be recognized when their names are called. Also, I will get all ribbons, and certificates out to recipients after today’s ceremony. Please let me know if you do not receive them by the end of the day.
“Now, before we begin, I would like to take this time to announce two new TRACEN COs to the team! Please help me welcome to the Sail Training Center LTJG Gabrielle Chaplin. And apparently the coffee in SLCG Reserves is just THAT bad, because we now have back CDR Octavia Rejan to once again run the Dive Training Center!!! WOOOT Please welcome them both!!!!”
