Good Morning,

One of our junior service members is in need. His son K**e was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease and is currently in the ICU at Stanford. This go fund me was put together to raise money to assist them with essentials (food, parking, etc). If you feel so inclined, please use the link below to donate to support K**e.

We never imagined we’d be facing something like this, but right now our focus is… Sara W needs your support for Support K**e & his family during his Recovery

Today we mourn the loss of our shipmate, Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Tyler Jaggers.

On February 27, Tyler was critically injured while conducting a medical evacuation mission offshore near Cape Flattery, Washington—doing exactly what he had trained for and what he loved: risking everything to help someone else. He later passed away at Madigan Army Medical Center.

Before his passing, Tyler was meritoriously advanced to AST2, a reflection of the relentless drive, professionalism, and commitment he brought to every day in the Aviation Rescue Swimmer community. He was also awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, one of our nation’s highest honors for heroism in aerial flight.

But to those who knew him, Tyler was more than his rank or his awards. He was a shipmate, a mentor, and a brother in a tight-knit community built on trust, sacrifice, and the promise that when someone is in trouble, we go.

He lived the motto that defines rescue swimmers everywhere—“So Others May Live.” And in the end, he gave everything in service to that mission.

Fair winds and following seas, Tyler.
You will always be part of the watch.

This holiday season, the North Bay CPOA, in partnership with the Two Rock Officer’s Association and SecretSantaNow.org, was proud to support a charitable gift drive benefiting our local community this holiday season.

Through this incredible collaboration, we were able to provide gifts for 19 community members in need, as well as toys for 17 children from Two Rock Elementary who may otherwise go without a gift. A special thank you to LCDR Lindsey Neumann of the Two Rock Officer’s Association, who generously donated her time as a photographer by providing family holiday portraits and helped raise half of the funds needed to make these gifts possible, with the CPOA raising the remaining half. Seeing the generosity and teamwork come together for those who need it most is a powerful reminder of what community truly means.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this effort possible. Your kindness and support made a real difference and helped bring joy to so many this season. ❤️

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄✨
