Welcome to the Officer Corps, Class of 2026!

We were thrilled to celebrate the Class of 2026 on Wednesday as they walked across the stage and accepted their commissions in the world's greatest Coast Guard at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy's 145th commencement exercises. President Donald J. Trump delivered the commencement address in front of a full crowd at Cadet Memorial Field.

Led by their class motto, “Aut Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam” (I shall either find a way or make one), we look forward to following this determined group of ensigns throughout their journey in the Coast Guard and beyond.

Corps Conversations: A special episode for a special day.

Today’s bonus episode of Corps Conversations captures the excitement before four cadets become Coast Guard officers.

From Billet Night reactions and first assignments across the fleet to the mentors who shaped their journey, First Class Cadets Aislinn Murray, Kevin Pandorf, Carl DiGiorgio, and Elijah Parent share an honest look at the excitement, pride, and uncertainty of what comes next.

It’s a conversation about leadership, growth, service, and the people who helped them get here.

Before they report to Key West, California, and beyond, hear their final reflections as cadets — and first steps toward becoming the next generation of Coast Guard leaders.
