Company Officers and Chiefs
Company Officers and Chiefs supervise and oversee the professional development of cadets. With a focus on teaching, mentoring and advising, these mentors train cadets in interpersonal skills, leadership, fitness, conduct, ethics and military performance.
Each of the eight companies has a Company Officer and Chief assigned. The officers focus on working with 1st and 2nd class cadets, while the chiefs primarily work with the underclass 3rd and 4th class cadets within their respective company.
By their personal example, Company Officers and Chiefs set the highest standards of appearance, professionalism and conduct, helping to shape the future of Coast Guard leadership.
