Welcome to the New Member Deck!
These pages contain material that hopes to be of value to
a new member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. It's a bit of an
experiment and we need your help. You, the Auxiliary
members, have to give us feedback about how we're doing. Let
us know what you like, what should be added, and what we can
do without. Please come along side and work together with
us to develop these pages.
One addition is the New Member Orientation. The
first year in the Auxiliary is challenging because there is
so much to learn. It isn't that the information is not
available - there actually is much information in many
locations. Our New Member Orientation attempts to
consolidate many of the things a new member needs to know
and provides some links to additional information. Some of
these pages are for a specific geographical location. If
you're in the San Francisco Bay Area you can get your
uniform by visiting Coast Guard Island. How do you get your
uniform in your area? If you have someone to work with the
D11NR web team we will be glad to add this and other local
information in a New Member Orientation page specific for
your area.
Are you Approval Pending (AP), Initially Qualified (IQ),
or Basically Qualified (BQ)? What this means and how to
navigate through it is often important for a new member, and
it's an example of why we are going to try a How To
page. This will try to give a brief description with links
explaining How To get things done, such as becoming
BQ, Boat Crew Qualified, or a Vessel Examiner. Again, this
is where we can use some help from folks who know how to
accomplish some particular thing. Let us know if you'd like
to submit a How To.
Did You Hear About all the fun, interesting, and
educational stories Auxiliary members have to share? Much of
who we are and what we do is captured in Auxiliarist's
experiences. We'd like to gather up some of these stories
and bring them to you here. Got a story to share? Please
let the D11NR web team know so we can add it to our
collection.
Wondering about a Mustang, the boats and helos used by
the Coast Guard, or what goes on at an OPTREX? There are
links that will give you some information. Let us know what
else you would to like to see.
New Members bring focus to our Missions
