Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard (MCPOCG) is a unique non-commisioned rank in the United States Coast Guard. The holder of this rank and post is the senior enlisted member of the U.S. Coast Guard, equivalent to the Sergeant Major of the Army, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. They are appointed by the Commandant of the Coast Guard to serve as a spokesperson to address the issues of enlisted personnel to the highest positions in the Coast Guard. As such, they are the senior enlisted advisor to the Commandant of the Coast Guard. Their exact duties vary, depending on the Commandant, though they generally devote much of their time to traveling throughout the Coast Guard observing training and talking to sailors and their families. The normal tour of assignment is four years, which runs concurrently with the Commandant of the Coast Guard.
