CHANGE UP – U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Vincent Jansen, left, shakes hands with Cmdr. Joesph Semke as Rear Admiral Megan Dean, Seventeenth District Commander, looks on this morning at Air Station Sitka during the change of command ceremony. Jansen is leaving Sitka after serving as the air station’s commander during what Dean described as the busiest two years of search and rescue operations in the past 20 years at the air station. Semke, who has been operations officer here since 2021, assumes the command in a rare service career path. Jansen is moving to Juneau with his wife, Ellie, and son, Fraser, where he will be chief of incident management at Coast Guard District Seventeen headquarters. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
