JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. - Master Sgt. Cary Ann Thomas, 628th Contracting Squadron contingency cell section chief, presents her Coast Guard chief recognition pin at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., March 31, 2020. Thomas was one of 36 selected to attend the Chief Petty Officer Academy Course in Petaluma, California in February. The five-week course serves as a replacement to the Air Force Senior NCO Academy to 36 chosen individuals, and it stresses leadership and teamwork during the transition from E-6 to E-7. For Air Force students, the class is an opportunity to learn about leadership and teamwork from their sister service’s viewpoint. According to the Chief Petty Officer Academy Course website, major themes of the course include professionalism, self-awareness, leadership, communication skills, strategic thinking, education and lifelong learning and health and wellness. Thomas was voted upon by classmates to receive the Spirit of the Chief award, the Coast Guard’s equivalent to the John Levitow Award, during graduation.
