MCPOCG stands for Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard, a US Navy and coast guard rank abbreviation.
Senior enlisted position of the US Coast Guard, adviser to the Commandant on enlisted personnel matters and the service's top enlisted leader. The office functions like the MCPON in the Navy and is held by one master chief at a time.
Example: The MCPOCG thanked the station crew for their work during the hurricane response.
Usage notes
The post was established in 1969, and Charles L. Calhoun was the first to hold it. The Coast Guard falls under the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime, so the MCPOCG represents enlisted members in a different department from the other services' senior enlisted advisers.
