This episode takes us to Training Center Yorktown, where Coast Guard Boatswain’s Mates are forged through 14 weeks of hands-on training in seamanship, navigation, and small boat operations. Set near the historic grounds of Yorktown, where a decisive American Revolution victory helped shape the nation, today’s mission continues a legacy of readiness and service.
We sit down with BMCM Joey Bucciero, the Boatswain’s Mate “A” School Chief, to talk leadership, standards, and the responsibility of developing the next generation of coxswains. From classroom fundamentals to real-world scenarios, the conversation highlights what it takes to turn motivated students into confident Boat Forces professionals
