New Auxiliary officers get sworn in tonight and existing ones also.
This will be my 2nd year as the FSO-CS (Flotilla Staff Officer Communications Services)
This is separate from my work in the regular Coast Guard operations office.
Back here around 10PM PST
The FSO-CS is essentially the flotilla's webmaster and the organization's web watcher who exercises staff responsibility and supervision over electronic communication services. This officer will create and maintain Flotilla website that is in full compliance with Auxiliary web policies and will maintain personal e-mail and Internet access. The officer will foster an interest in electronic communication among the members and will encourage and facilitate the use of electronic communication throughout the Flotilla. He or she will maintain close liaison with the Division Staff Officer of Communication Services (SO-CS) and will coordinate and cooperate with the FSO-PB and FSO-PA to ensure that both electronic and print media are used to their fullest extent in providing information to the Auxiliary membership and to the boating public. The FSO-CS will keep a regular Internet vigil as web watcher all Auxiliary E-mail NETS and the Auxiliary National Website (CGAUXWEB) for important information to disseminate to members in a timely manner. The officer will attend flotilla meetings and report on official information obtained from the web to members who do not have access to electronic media. Other duties outlined in the Auxiliary Member Manual and Flotilla Procedures Manual should also be followed. In addition, due to the dynamic nature of the electronic communications industry, the future AOR of this office may experience changes requiring the officer to be flexible with regard to those changes which may be passed on down through the chain of leadership.
