From the USCGA Parents Associaton President

We are now into the last full year of the Leadership 44 commitment. By the spring of 2014, the project to fund Arctic Tern will be completed. As the class of 2013 completed Swab Summer, the Leadership 44 became a real undertaking. The Class of 2013 never got a chance to sail on the Leadership 44’s, but the parents of this class are leaving behind an incredible legacy for all of the cadets of the future. Knowing that the Leadership 44 initiative took many years to get rolling, we are now looking for what will be the next major Parents Association undertaking. This will take some time, perhaps years, so we have started now.  Read more>>
