Coast Guard CPOA Washington DC Chapter

Today, our DC CPOA Vice President and fellow members completed CPR recertification training, reinforcing a skill that can truly save lives. As Coast Guard members and leaders, maintaining proficiency in CPR and basic lifesaving techniques is essential, not only for our missions but also for our families, shipmates, and communities.

CPR recertification ensures that responders stay current on the latest techniques, build confidence in emergency situations, and remain prepared to act when every second counts. The skills learned in these courses can make a critical difference during a medical emergency, turning bystanders into lifesavers.

Thank you for setting the example and highlighting the importance of continuous training and professional readiness.

Semper Paratus — Always Ready. ⚓️🇺🇸

Today we pause….to remember.

Representing CPOA/CGEA at today’s National Memorial Day Ceremony was: TAC Joey Hinkle (DC CPOA Chapter President), BM1 David Paseiro (CGEA National Secretary), IS1 Grace McKnight and CMS2 Elliott Ziolkowski.
