Allen assumed the duties of the 23rd Commandant of the Coast Guard on May 25, 2006. He was appointed to a four-year term by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate.
Allen was born in Tucson, Arizona, the son of retired Coast Guard Chief Damage Controlman Clyde and Mrs. Wilma Allen. His father is a World War Two veteran. Allen is a 1967 graduate of Palo Verde High School in Tucson. His family moved frequently during his childhood with his father’s assignments. He attended the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, where he was a standout football player, graduating in 1971.[1] He holds a Master of Public Administration degree from George Washington University and a Master’s degree in Management (S.M.) from the MIT Sloan School of Management as a Sloan Fellow.[2]
I know, I know .. his name is Thad, not Thag ... but this is funny stuff.
Is this man from Arizona???? All I see is AZ but nothing on it. If he is indeed from ARIZONA and a BUSH APPOINTEE...IT SHOULD BE OUT THERE LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!
Reading between the lines coming out of the WH and Obama’s presser today, Obama is setting Mr. Allen up to be the next fall guy thrown under the bus for any and everything that goes wrong from here on out. Thad should be watching his back at every turn.
