Talking With A Coast Guard Training Center Cape May Company Commander - With Chief Vincent Bucaneg

Coast To Coasties

In this episode of the "Coast To Coasties" podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with my guest, Chief Petty Officer Vicent Bucaneg, to talk about his Coast Guard career and why he loves working as a company commander for recruit bootcamp at Training Center Cape May! He has such a passion for what he considers to be the most fulfilling job in the Coast Guard, as it gives you the ability to make an impact from day 1 of a new Coastie's career and equip them with the tools needed to flourish and be successful once they leave training and head into the fleet. Chief Bucaneg's love for this mission is so great that he is preparing to return to Training Center Cape May as a Company Commander for a second tour this upcoming Summer and he is here to share his thoughts and experiences as to why others should also come back to Cape May as a Company Commander (CC)! We discuss CC School, Work Schedule, Job Benefits, and the impact you get to physically see in shaping our future Coast Guard in our newest seamen recruits! He also gives advice for people preparing to ship out to Cape May, so anyone heading to bootcamp in the future or considering coming back to Cape May as a CC, Tune in to this awesome episode!
