 I would tell Swab Donaldson to embrace your shortcomings and embrace your failures. Your whole 200 week journey here is one big learning moment. Take the lessons you've learned and what works well and what doesn't. So when you arrive to your first unit, you know it works and you know your style and you can roll with it. My name is First Class Kent Donaldson. I'm a First Class cadet here at the Coast Guard Academy. And this summer I'm the Battalion Waterfront Officer. My duties include overseeing the sailing instruction for the class of 2025, as well as the professional development of the Waterfront cadre class of 2023. So we operate under a different operating procedure than counter parts in Chase Hall. The second they set foot on this long causeway here, they can relax, embrace, they don't have to sound off. And it's strictly a teaching environment. When they're down here, they know they can relax to encourage number one, a positive learning environment, while also a safe learning environment. So in the Swab summer training practicum, we'll be taking the Swabs out on two different vessels. First, the Colgate 26 is a 26 foot sailing vessel. Predominantly for training, they'll be assisted with their cadre, two cadre, four trainees. And as they progress in the training program, they'll go to the smaller dinghy platform. And that's where they'll be independent, free from cadre. It'll be totally their instruction. When these trainees graduate, an overwhelming amount of these trainees will immediately go afloat to a Coast Guard cutter. So it's important that we set the foundations for both nautical nomenclature seamanship and the basic of sail here so they can just build on that experience throughout their 200 weeks here at the academy. I would tell the family and friends of the class of 2025 that your sons and daughters are an outstanding end. My cadre and I have worked in months of preparation for this training and we are ready to roll. We emphasize safety down here, that's our number one priority. We have several cadre whose primary duty is to reassess safety, assess risk, and assess the weather constantly throughout the day. We take pride in knowing that we are training the future generation of the world's best Coast Guard.
