Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The commander of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Juneau was on display Wednesday.
It was not where departing Capt. Stephen R. (Ray) White likes to be, dressed in his white uniform, showcasing the honors that have been bestowed upon him, wearing the distinctions that he earned and feels blessed to receive but believes belong to others. Being paraded in front of those he admires, yet having those admiring him. Being praised when he would rather be the one praising and shouting “Ahoy” to those in sight.
He longed for 30 minutes prior. The change of command, where outgoing sector commanders, in this case White, and incoming officers, in this case Capt. Darwin A. Jensen, were only acknowledged. As they should be.
