RCSCC FRASER Appoints a New Coxswain

Four excellent Petty Officers began a journey towards becoming a Chief Petty Officer in July of 2010.  They were given several assignments, gave a presentation to LCdr(Ret.) Ron Theroux and FRASER Officers, and were then interviewed by the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer in December.  All candidates were well turned out and are an excellent example of what dedication and a little elbow grease in the Sea Cadet program can build.

"As Commanding Officer, I congratulate them on their successes as a Sea Cadet and thank them for their continued leadership to the junior Cadets at RCSCC FRASER.  It is not every Cadet that makes it this far, many are daunted by the work required to get as far as CPO2.  The strong example you set, and the effort you put in to our Corps make it a great place to be and learn.  I look forward to working with all of you as you build on your experience as a leader within FRASER."

Our story does not end here though...after considering many aspects of each candidate, two were selected for promotion as the newest CPO2 recipients.  On January 28, CPO2 Rhys Coulter and CPO2 Cade received their well deserved promotions.  Shortly after, promoted RCSCC FRASER lost their Coxswain as he turned 19 and aged out of the Cadet program.  One of those new CPO2's was next in line for a rewarding, but very difficult job.  They would become the next, in a long line of Coxswains for Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps FRASER.

Again, the two young Chiefs were interviewed and their Cadet careers were reviewed and on February 9th, CPO2 D. Cade was appointed as the new Corps Coxswain.  The following week, filling the now vacated space of Chief Cade, CPO2 Berkovets was also promoted.

Congratulations gentlemen, Je Suis Prest!
