ALCGOFF 004/22: Solicitation for applications for the fall 2022 Peace with Women fellowship

By Personnel Service Center

Editors Note: A technical issue is preventing General Messages from autopopulating on public websites such as MyCG. To ensure military members have easy, timely access to critical personnel announcements, MyCG is publishing ALCGPSC, ALCGOFF and ALCGENL messages as articles. Once the issue is resolved, MyCG will go back to our normal practice of publishing modern, plain-language news articles on the homepage, with personnel messages autopopulating on the appropriate audience pages. If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at MyCG@uscg.mil.

The Peace With Women Fellowship continues to grow and has included participants from 17 different countries.
