Oct 3rd marks my "Anniversary"
in the Coast Guard Auxiliary
I have reported for "duty" to
Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat Station Coos Bay OR
at least one day,
every single week,
often times more,
since Oct 3 2001
To: hedgetrimmer,COBI,AuntB
I just wanted to let you know I met with the Flotilla Commander today
and it turns out that I have a few skills that they need and can utilize.
My application should be approved in about 10 days.
Also as of Sept 11 the Coast Guard itself is under the command of the Department of Defense.
While the Auxiliary is not part of the military, it can and does support military actions.
I'm just glad that this old rusty tin can sailor can help protect our country again.
