�� 2. “��” implies sides. We all bleed red, white and blue – just like the “active-duty.” 3. “We serve the �� .” Every one of us, in our heart and soul, is the embodiment of the US Coast Guard. We represent the US Coast Guard in every act, every word and every motion we undertake, in uniform or out, under orders or not. I submit that we serve �� Each of us ��a walking, talking part of the Coast Guard. 4. “Send this �� the Chain.” Not down. Out. Send this out to the Chain, to your team mates. Now some might this is unnecessary “politically correct speak.” I beg to differ. We are human and all humans are incredibly perceptive about nuances, tones of voice, facial expressions and the whatnot. If you stop and think, “I’m just not going to say ‘send this down the Chain’ right now’, and say, “Please send this out to the Chain”, I guarantee you this. You will think differently about your Chain, your team mates. �� Although we have strong working and augmentation relationships with each station for tasks like communication, watch standing, SAR Missions, administrative support, MOM patrols, NS and MS, much of what we do is never seen by the CG. Examples are our strong PV, VE and PE programs being done every week throughout our AOR. In fact, one Flotilla alone has traditionally given safe boating classes to typically 600 students each and every year; another Division's boat crew training program is so good it’s called “Boat Crew College”, is held weekly, and also attended by new CG personnel training for the qualification, along with both “silver and gold side” qualified crew members as a refresher. We also have members, who work closely with the CG Academy in direct admission support; along with a close working relationship with the Cutter Eagle. AUX AIR observation missions have produced some outstanding photos in support of CG requirements, and many other airborne missions. We also work closely with Sector LIS for event planning and training of our partnering agencies. Some of our members provide substantial support of ICS training not just on the Auxiliary side, but the “gold” side too. Our membership and our leadership includes the hard work of our FC’s. This has proven time and time again that their professionalism and contribution of time and talent in support of the CG, and the many Auxiliary specific missions truly make us a multiplying force! What we see now is today’s Auxiliary is in fact real change and is part of our evolutionary process that I believe will become the Auxiliary of future, “were not just about the Boats any more” as the CG change will we must change too. ��
