This video is an informal questions and answers session with current company commanders. They are answering common questions they receive from the fleet to hopefully dispel some of the myths or stigmas associated with being a company commander and the Company Commander C-School.
Company Commanders are the direct trainers and supervisors of up to 120 recruits through the entire eight weeks of basic training. The goal of a company commander is to prepare a smartly disciplined, physically fit, and basically trained non-rate for service in the U.S. Coast Guard.

#DYK that every port in the United States is part of our nation’s border?
The U.S. has 361 ports, all of which are critical to the nation’s economic growth and national security. The Marine Transportation System (MTS) – our complex system of ports and waterways – is essential to America’s economic prosperity. It drives $5.4 trillion of economic activity annually, enables strategic mobility, and links America’s consumers, producers, manufacturers, and farmers to domestic and global markets.
Our MTS is also a frontline in safeguarding our homeland. Our 25,000 miles of coastal and inland waterways are a functional extension of our borders that require constant vigilance. Every day, the Coast Guard stands that watch by controlling, securing, and defending America’s ports and waterways.
Whether we’re securing port infrastructure, facilitating supply chains, or coordinating vessel traffic, our stewardship of the MTS propels economic prosperity while strengthening border security.
