The United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce is a non profit organization that has a long-standing tradition of support for Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, the Corpus Christi Army Depot, Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi, and Naval Air Station- Kingsville. As a mission, the chamber continues to find ways to support the Corpus Christi military in all its endeavors. WINGINGS: The Chamber purchases the aviator wings for all Winging Ceremonies at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. This tradition dates back to the early years of Training Air Wing Four, including the wings given to former President George H.W. Bush, who was winged at NASCC. IN-DOCS: Every week, the Chamber welcomes new student pilots to NASCC during their indoctrination. A mem- ber of the Chamber staff welcomes the students to Corpus Christi, answers questions and distributes information about our area. MILITARY DISCOUNT E-DIRECTORY: The Chamber is in the process of creating a Mili- tary Discount e-Directory, to list discounts available to active duty military members, veterans, their families, and first responders.
