Greetings 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub, FReepers, et al:

And big THANK YOU too Tonk!

Let me take a moment and inform FReepers about our civilian partners of the USCG Auxiliary.

USCGA volunteers are an awesome work force multiplier. Whenever an Auxiliarist volunteers their time, they free up one of our Coasties for the Homeland Defense mission.

Earning and maintaining that telecommunication watchstander qualification is quite a commitment Tonk. A qualified watchstander is an extremely valuable member of the crew. My home unit really appreciates our qualified Auxiliarists.

Without dedicated USCGA people assisting us nationwide, we could not maintain our degree of officer presence for the Homeland Defense mission.

Guarding Liberty,
OLA
