[edit] USCG Commandant
A statement from DHS Secretary Chertoff on Allen's appointment to be the 23rd commandant of the USCG dated 3/30/2006:
Statement by HOMELAND SECURITY Secretary Michael Chertoff ON THE Confirmation of Thad Allen as Commandant of the Coast Guard
I am delighted that Thad Allen has been confirmed by the Senate as the 23rd Commandant of the United States Coast Guard. Thad is a highly-respected Coast Guard veteran who has served our nation with distinction for more than three decades. He will more than justify the confidence that the President and Senate place in him. I commend the Senate for acting quickly to confirm Thad, and I look forward to his continued leadership at the department.
Current article says 20th. This needs to be clarified. --G1076 17:02, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Their website is sort of confusing on this. It looks like the "Captain Commandant" was created in 1908. The second guy was elevated to that even though he had retired, and the first guy was dead. So, I guess 23rd is right - he's the 23rd person to hold that position, though not technically the 23rd commandant. This link talks about the elevation thing. --Awiseman 21:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Could someone check this edit: [1]? The user is vandal (in at least one case) and this may be vandalism too. TIA Pavel Vozenilek
It's not vandalism in this case. I beleive it is accurate but I will verify. I looked at edits from that IP address and am hard pressed to find a habit of vandalism that would justify questioning each of his edits on every discussion board. Pesco 16:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] THADmiral?
I reverted the nickname THADmiral since it doesn't seem likely and was added by an IP user with a history of vandalism. If anybody has solid info, feel free to add it back in. --L. Pistachio 04:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
