Episode 5 - MCPOCG Dr. Vincent W. Patton III EdD. (Ret.)

In this episode, Captain Morgan Dawicki chats with Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Dr. Vincent W. Patton III EdD. (Ret.) Master Chief Patton was the eighth MCPOCG, the highest attainable rank as an enlisted member of the Coast Guard, and the first African American to do so. Vince is an inductee of the Michigan Military and Veterans Hall of Honor and currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees at NMI. He exemplifies the three tenets of success at NMI: Honesty, Integrity, and Hard Work. Raised in Detroit, MI, Vince sought to follow in his brother's footsteps by joining the Navy but wound up enlisting with the Coast Guard and attaining the highest enlisted rank possible. It was a pleasure speaking with "Uncle Vince" and we can't wait to have him back!
