Bradley Conway talks of responsibilities, rewards of his work at Training Center Cape May

Commander Bradley Conway serves as executive officer of Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, a job that puts him second in command under Capt. Warren D. Judge of the fifth-largest Coast Guard base in the country. A typical workday begins at 6 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m., but the work itself is gratifying and puts Conway face to face-with some of the Coast Guard’s biggest hurdles.

Conway outlined for the Herald some of the higher-level struggles that the Coast Guard is working to overcome, chief among them a recruitment deficit that affects every branch of the American military. Although recruitment initiatives are planned by the Recruiting Command in Washington, D.C., every enlisted recruit who joins the force will come to Cape May. That puts the job of preparing the recruits right in his backyard, where more than 85% of the Coast Guard’s workforce come for training.
