N.C. Reserve Unit Receives Best Rating
A North Carolina Coast Guard
Reserve unit has been selected
as the best reserve unit in the
Coast Guard.
Winner of the annual Reserve
Officer Association
Congressional Award is the
Coast Guard Reserve Unit at
Elizabeth City, under the
Commandos Lt. Cmdr. Henry H.
Odum of Suffolk, Va.
The ROA Congressional
Award is given annualy to the
Coast Guard Reserve unit it
considers to be the most
outstanding in terms of the
“citizen sailor” concept.
Ceremonies marking the award
will be held May 17 at the Coast
Guard Air Station in Elizabeth
City.
One weekend each month the
60 officers and enlisted men of
the Elizabeth City unit - nearly
all of them residents of
communities in Northeastern
North Carlina and Southeastern
Virginia - support a variety of
regular Coast Guard activities.
In addition, they have used
their skills -- developed through
both training in the Coast
Guard and in their civilian
careers - in a number of
substantial construction
projects at the Elizabeth City
Coast Guard Air Station.
Projects included
construction ’of an air station
communications center office,
rebuilding of the reservists’own
drilling facility and construction
of two classrooms for the
aircraft repair and supply
center. By one estimate, having
the reservists build the
classrooms alone saved the
Coast Guard about >75,000.
In addition, members of the
reserve unit perform tasks one
weekend each month that
normally are performed by
regular Coast-Guardsmen at the
air station. These include -
preparation of meals and
operation of the base
dispensary.
Other members of the unit
spend their weekends
augmenting regular forces at
such outlying Coast Guard

requires the reservists to drive

their homes, they are not

or expenses.

insurance agency and a life
