Last Friday, Sector Lower Mississippi River conducted a Change of Command and Retirement ceremony for Captain Kristi Bernstein.

During her over 28 years of service, in addition to SLMR, her tours included: Command Duty Officer for Southeast District Command Center in Miami, Florida; Deputy Commandant for Operations’ staff at Coast Guard Headquarters; Chief of Enforcement at Sector Corpus Christi, Texas; and Chief of Response Operations at Sector Delaware Bay.

Her time and experience was invaluable, and she will be cherished, as we wish her all the best in her retirement endeavors!

Bravozulu!
