COMMAND from page 7A
We have a duty to the people we
serve, and their lives depend on us. We
owe them the very best. We will do ev-
erything we can as a team to continue
our commitment to excellence.”
“Welcome to the varsity,” Mullen
said. “I have every confidence that you
will succeed and lead well, develop a
cohesive team, reach new heights and
help your people achieve what they
thought was not possible.”
Tregoning and Nilles have known
each other for nearly 20 years.
“To Senior Chief Jay Nilles, Erin, Zak
and Maci, welcome to the Station Siu-
slaw River family,” Tregoning said. “It’s
a fantastic family to be a part of. Jay, I
am excited to hear about the successes
you will experience with your crew in
the years ahead.”
Nilles in turn thanked Tregoning for
the warm welcome his family had re-
ceived, as well as the professionalism of
the Station Siuslaw River Crew.
“Since arriving here just over a week
ago, Master Chief Tregoning and the
crew of Station Siuslaw River have
opened their doors with overwhelm-
ing support for this transition between
officers in charge. Master chief, your
work here shows. The pride the crew
has in everything from their uniforms
to the boats’ appearance, to the main-
tenance of these buildings and the sur-

shipmates and for your steadfast love
and support of all of us. I look forward
to what our future holds, and I love you
very much,” he said.
Nilles expressed his love and appre-
ciation for his wife, children and par-
ents.
“The days of responding to the sta-
tion for an incident on the docks, on
the beach and on the ocean are once
again on the docket,” he said. “I will
strive not to leave you stranded at base-

sometimes, when the bell rings, you
respond.”
Both men then addressed Station
Siuslaw River and the community.
“Thank you all for the tremendous
support for the crew of Station Siuslaw
River, for the families of the station,
both active duty and auxiliary, and the
community that supports us and keeps
us here,” Tregoning said.
Nilles added, “I look forward to car-
rying on the fine traditions of Station
Siuslaw River.”
