#27. Waterways Commerce Cutter Acquisition with BOSN Jon Becker

Join me as I have an engaging conversation with BOSN Jon Becker, the sponsor's representative for the new Waterways Commerce Cutter acquisition. This significant investment promises to enhance the future of the inland aids to navigation mission and uphold the proud legacy of enlisted and chief warrant officer command. BOSN Becker and I delve into the impressive capabilities of this new class of cutters, which will replace our aging fleet of WLRs, WLICs, and WLIs that have proudly served our Nation's waterways for many decades. We will begin with an overview of the acquisition process, followed by an exploration of the remarkable design and habitability improvements that will be greatly appreciated by those serving on our inland waterways. I hope you enjoy the conversation and feel the enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding this major development for our brown water fleet!
