New Medicare Cards Are
On The Way
Changes are coming to your Medicare card. By April 2019, your card will be replaced with one that no longer shows your Social Security number. Instead, your card will have a new Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) that will be used for billing and for checking your eligibility and claim status. And it will all happen automatically - you won't have to pay anyone or give anyone information, no matter what someone might tell you.

"The United States Coast Guard has a saying: 'You have to go out; you don't have to come back.' I am still looking for the person who came up with that saying" (Rodger D. Dewey, retired master chief boatswain's mate E-9).
Follow the twenty-eight years of memories of a seventeen-year-old young man from Denver, Colorado, who joined the United States Coast Guard in 1948 and made the United States Coast Guard his life. Follow the training, lessons learned, funny stories, and a true love of being a shallow-water sailor.

From our National President:
On April 7, 2019, the CPOA will celebrate 50 years of service to our fellow Chiefs, our Coast Guard Family and our Communities. To mark this momentous occasion, the Ad Hoc 50th Anniversary Committee plans to sell a variety of mementos to provide fundraising support for the Birthday events. To that end, I hereby announce a LOGO CONTEST to select the logo to be used for the entire year of Celebration. The logo will be used on one side of a 50th Anniversary coin, as well as on other items as decided by the Ad Hoc 50th Anniversary Committee. The criteria for the Logo Contest can be found here...
