Now through February 21, 2006, the BoatU.S. Foundation is looking for new locations to become lending sites for its free Life Jacket Loaner Program. The program loans out children’s life jackets – from readily accessible sites such as marinas, boat clubs and other waterfront businesses – to boaters who have a temporary need for a kid’s life jacket for the day or weekend. There is no cost to become a loaner site. Presently, over 350 marinas and waterfront businesses participate as Life Jacket Loaner Program sites, which have loaned out life jackets over 50,000 times a year since the program began in 1997. The loaner life jacket kit consists of 12 jackets in a protective container, signage and easy-to-use sign-out sheets to track usage. Three sizes are included for kids up to 90 pounds.

It describes to the leadership the current environment, key strategic imperatives—aligned with the published vision and mission statements and NACO watchwords and directions. This plan is a living document and will be periodically updated based upon feedback from cognizant Coast Guard authority, the National Executive Committee , and the District Commodores, progress while accomplishing the elements of the plan, and future changes in the environment. The Business Plan is properly characterized as evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. Nonetheless, the cumulative effects of implementing the plan’s features are intended to be substantial—providing clear direction, focus, and accountability for the coming years.

ALLEN AS COMMANDANT OF THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD President Bush has announced his intention to nominate an exceptional leader and public servant as Commandant of the Coast Guard in Thad Allen. Thad has my complete confidence and full support, and if confirmed, he will play a major role in shaping the future of this department. Most Americans came to know and respect Thad for his work overseeing the federal government's recovery efforts following the devastation from Hurricane Katrina. Thad is a highly-accomplished Coast Guard veteran who has served our nation in several key positions since his graduation from the Coast Guard Academy in 1971. His service includes Chief of Staff and Commanding Officer at headquarters; Commander of the Atlantic Area, Fifth Coast Guard District; Commander of the Seventh Coast Guard District; Director of Resources; and Commander of the cutter Citrus. In response to 9/11, Thad led Coast Guard operations to re-position the Atlantic fleet in support of local port commanders and to establish critical command and control capability. If confirmed, Vice Admiral Allen will follow a distinguished Commandant in Admiral Thomas H. Collins, at a scheduled change of command in May. Admiral Collins has led the Coast Guard during one of the more challenging periods in its history. He helped to ensure a seamless transition into the department and introduced emerging technologies and innovative programs that have enhanced overall mission performance. I thank Admiral Collins for his continued service and commend his dedication to country.

Auxiliarists who were placed in Re-Year (REYR) status at the start of 2006 because they did not complete the workshop that was required in 2005 must complete the 2006 workshop in order to get out of REYR status and re-gain their currency in 2006. Completion of online versions of the workshops is acceptable to meet this requirement. HYPERLINK \l "Top"Back to Top _____ Academy Admissions Partner Program (AAPP) Background. In a letter to all Auxiliarists last September, National Commodore Gene Seibert highlighted the need to adapt Coast Guard Academy recruiting to meet today's competitive college recruiting challenges (see NACO web site, HYPERLINK "http://www.auxnaco.org/"www.auxnaco.org, article of September 8, 2005). He described the implications for how the Academy Introduction Mission (AIM) program was to be conducted, the stand-down of the Auxiliary Career Counselor (CC) program with the start of 2006, and how to support Coast Guard Academy cadet recruitment through the new Academy Admissions Partner Program (AAPP).

We are now the Department of Information Technology! The only change is in the name of the Department, which more accurately reflects our combined roles of IS (Information Services) and CS (Communication Services). It will take a bit to make all the changes where the old Department name now appears, but there will be no change in our officer designations, etc. The IT Department looks forward to a bright future, serving the needs of our Members.

The contributions of the Auxiliary to Coast Guard mission execution are significant and invaluable. I have therefore decided to include the Auxiliary in my senior advisory team. It is with great pleasure that I announce that National Commodore Gene Seibert will be the first Auxiliary member of the Coast Guard Leadership Council. Commodore Seibert will join the Vice Commandant, Chief of Staff, Area Commanders, MCPOCG and Senior SES Rep in advising me on all issues of strategic importance. Commodore Seibert is uniquely qualified to serve on the Leadership Council. Since joining the auxiliary in 1984, he has served in all elected positions and in numerous critical staff assignments. As the National Commodore he has guided our Auxiliary through transformational change with a steady hand and tremendous dedication to service. COMO Seibert is a registered member of the National Contract Management Association and he holds advanced degrees in procurement and international contracting. After 34 years of service, he recently retired from Lucent Technologies, where he served as Director, International, Government and Domestic Contract Management.

While recognizing that total equilibrium between these two missions is more a hypothetical state because of unique local unit challenges, this balance and blend of Recreational Boating Safety and Maritime Homeland Security is the ultimate strategic objective fore the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

It will mark our Auxiliary?s sixty-seventh year of dedicated service to the nation. We take great pride in calling the men and women of the Auxiliary our shipmates. As I indicated in my Commandant's Intent Message to all Auxiliarist shortly after assuming command May 25, I consider each of our Auxiliary members an integral part of our Coast Guard. We simply could not meet the challenges we face or execute the missions we do on a day-to-day basis without their selfless devotion to duty. Our Coast Guard Auxiliary is truly the finest all-volunteer organization on our nation. During the past year, they have answered the call to duty during some of the most trying times in our nation's history. The highest levels of professionalism and selflessness displayed by our Auxiliary Team following the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita was nothing short of monumental. Their heroic response during the worst natural disasters on record clearly illustrates their dedication to the service and our nation.

I will continue to communicate directly with you on important matters and am doing so again today. In the first ?100 Days? of my tenure I traveled to field units in all but two of our Coast Guard Districts across the country and met many hundreds of Coast Guard active, reserve, civilian and auxiliary men and women. I have talked with many of you, often with Master Chief Skip Bowen at my side, aboard VIGILANT in the Caribbean, from the buoy deck of the STORIS in Kodiak, aboard MACKINAW in Grand Haven, at Air Stations Sitka and Kodiak, on GANNETT and VALIANT with President Bush in Miami, at Station Little Creek VA, and in the footprint of where Station Gulfport MS once stood. I have explained my goals and priorities and sought your input. In turn, you have informed me and inspired me, and I thank you for your honest comments and insightful questions. As I passed during those unit visits there are three knotty issues I am taking on as Commandant that currently do not have a sufficiently clear solution or path ahead. They are (1) the future of the polar icebreaking fleet, (2) the status of the inland and intercoastal short range aids to navigation mission and the recapitalization of those fleets, and (3) the condition of our shore facilities. As we delve deeper into these issues to determine the way ahead, you will be hearing more about them from me in subsequent SITREPs. In my first SITREP outlining my Commandant?s Intent, I indicated that we would take immediate steps to reorganize our operational forces, improve our service and support systems, better align with our departmental and interagency partners, and make our logistics and financial systems more efficient and accountable. Shortly after my change of command I issued six ?Commandant Intent Action Orders.? The following is a status report for each of these Action Orders: (1) Develop plans for establishing a new Deployable Operations Group (DOG) that will integrate our special deployable forces into the third and final leg of our trident force structure (in addition to shore-based Sector forces and maritime patrol and interdiction Deepwater forces). Status: A DOG command element will stand up in summer 2007 (approx. 100 billets) and will assume program-level responsibility for the MSSTs, MSRT, PSUs, TACLETs, and the National Strike Force. This is a first step in reshaping our capability to provide adaptive force packaging and will be accomplished within existing resources at this stage of its development. (2) Develop and publish a comprehensive Coast Guard Maritime Strategy (CGMS) that provides a strategic framework for planning maritime Safety, Security and Stewardship responsibilities of the Coast Guard through the next 4-5 years. Status: The senior leadership will complete its review and approval of the CGMS by 31 October and it will be published shortly afterward. (3) Realign the Coast Guard?s logistics organization to reduce the burden on our field units, control costs and improve accountability. Status: Significant progress has been made planning this complex realignment and I expect to approve the final plan later this month. (4) Complete the reorganization of HQ staff into numbered staffs (CG-1, CG-2, CG-3, etc) to improve the way we develop policy and manage resources for the Coast Guard, and better align with DoD. Status: I have approved a plan that will be executed by the end of the year. (5) Consolidate the Acquisition Directorate (G-A) with the Integrated Deepwater System Directorate (G-D) to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our total acquisition system. Status: Consolidation of acquisition functions into a single Headquarters Directorate will be implemented over the next year. (6) Review our financial accounting system to improve its accuracy, accountability and alignment with the Department of Homeland Security. Status: A Task Force established to spearhead this initiative has already identified 25 items that are being implemented to improve our financial accountability. I have also approved four additional Action Orders: (1) Develop a new operational framework for the Coast Guard to execute our missions more effectively and efficiently. This effort will focus on the command and control structure needed to effectively execute our missions through our new force structure. (2) Create a new human resource strategy to support our organizational changes. (3) Conduct a comprehensive review of our Reserve Component mission support system. (4) Implement a service oriented architecture (eCG) to better serve the needs of all of our internal and external customers. We must address connectivity issues with our patrol boats and small ATON cutters. We are aggressively working on all of these and other initiatives in close coordination with Area and District staffs. I realize that some of these initiatives are Headquarters focused and field personnel may not immediately identify with their potential impact. However, the policy and organizational changes that these orders produce will affect each and every Coast Guard member: active, reserve, civilian and auxiliary. Some will occur more quickly than others based on the availability of existing resources and new requirements. Ultimately, our success in implementing these changes will directly impact the way we plan, support and execute all of our missions. I will keep you informed of significant progress and milestones as we move forward via SITREPS and updates posted online. I traveled with President Bush during his recent visits to Sector Miami and the Gulf Coast, and Secretary Chertoff visited units in the Thirteenth, Eleventh and Fifth Districts recently as well. There are no stronger supporters of our Service than these two leaders. They understand that America depends on its Coast Guard to protect our security, to preserve our freedoms and to save the lives of those who can?t save themselves. I reported to them at my change of command that the Coast Guard was mustered and on watch. We must never lose sight of the importance of excellence in Mission Execution. We are all in the business of protecting the Nation and saving lives. From the Auxiliarist conducting a vessel safety check, to the procurement specialist acquiring personal protective equipment, to the rescue swimmer, the boat crewmember, the cutter coxswain and the command center operations controller, each of you is vital to our ability to execute our missions. We work as a team and we succeed as a team. Finally, I want to reiterate the importance of taking care of our shipmates as we end a busy summer season and complete our yearly transfers. The recent commemoration of hurricane Katrina, the tragic events aboard HEALY, and the grounding of the MSST New Orleans RB-S remind us of the dangerous operating environment we often find ourselves in during the normal course of our busy lives in the Coast Guard. I want each of you to reassess your activities, both on and off duty, and look after those who live and work around you. Take care of yourself, take care of your family, and take care of your shipmates. We need you! Stay safe and stay focused. Admiral Thad Allen Semper Paratus! All Threats?All Hazards?Always Ready back to HYPERLINK \l "TOP"TOP _____ NACO's Banquet Remarks Good evening and what a perfect evening it is! Every face I see is a memory, some more perfect than others but all so very good. Tonight is a celebration and recognition of the culmination of what YOU, the membership have accomplished over the past 2 years. My personal congratulations to my friend, shipmate and partner over the past 2 years, COMO Steven Budar and the newly elect bridge, for I know they will do great things and further the Coast Guard Auxiliary over the next 2 years. Yesterday, I gave my report at our National Board Meeting that outlined the accomplishments of our National Board and dedicated staff. We talked about where we started just 2 short years ago, how far we have come and what yet need to be done. We talked about the importance of ?Staying the Course?, that ?WE? collectively have charted. I need not reiterate any of this tonight. Instead, I want to take the opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of the many members of our team, whom without their contributions and dedication, we could not have been as successful. Sir Isaac Newton credited his scientific break throughs to the work of those that had gone before him in the field of science by saying, ?If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.? So it is only fitting that we acknowledge the contributions of our past National Commodores and their colleagues. Each have made key contributions to the Auxiliary and set the stage for continued mission excellence. Each of them has shared insights on the Auxiliary and how we should plan for the future. Therefore, it can truly be said: ?if WE have seen further, it is only by standing upon the shoulders of these giants?. So, Henry, Joe, Ev, Viggo and Bill, I extend to you my personal gratitude and thanks for all that you have done and continue to do. Next I would like to acknowledge the contributions of our National Executive Committee and our Executive Staff. These members have helped to chart our course for the past two years and, I hope, well into the future. Their continuing good humor and willingness to roll up their sleeves has been remarkable. I sometimes wish that our membership could have listened in on our meetings and monthly conference calls?they truly would have been proud of our outstanding leadership team, as I have been. The same can be said of our wider leadership team, the District Commodores, Vice Commodores and the Directors of Auxiliary. They have played a key role in helping to forge our strategic plans at the national level and to formulate sound plans at the District level. To each of them, thank you. There is a Spanish proverb which states to the effect, ?that success has a thousand fathers, while failure dies an orphan?. Well, I?m proud to acknowledge the many fathers and mothers of our success?our National Staff. I have always been and remain very impressed with the quality, energy, and commitment of this staff and hope that our new bridge will take advantage of these highly competent, professional individuals. I want to thank Captain Smith and his staff for all of their continued support. With all of the changes over the past 2 years, within the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary, (AuxMan, OPS Policy, Congressionals, the day-to-day issues in general), they truly were and remained Semper Paratus. To the Coast Guard Flag Corp, I thank you for your acceptance, your partnership, your council and most importantly, for your friendship. And how can I not thank our membership, for without them, we would have accomplished little. For it is they at the deck plate, that implement and executed our missions in support of the Coast Guard and the Recreational Boaters. To use one of Admiral Allen?s key terms, they symbolize, Mission Excellence. Lastly, I want to thank my family, specifically my wife Maria for allowing me to fulfill a dream. I thank you for the understanding and the sacrifices; the missed family events; not being able to spend as much time with our children and grandchildren as we would have liked to; the travel; missed dinners and late nights working on various projects. Most of all, thank you for your continued support for allowing me to do what I wanted, to focus and to contributed to the best of my ability, to the greatest volunteer organization anywhere. Dear, you are truly one of a kind and I love ya! To take a quote from Admiral Collins, ?Great organizations don?t just happen; they evolve from sound visionary leadership, willingness to change what needs to be changed and the commitment to safeguard those guiding principles most critical to organization success?. I firmly believe this is true of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and each of you here tonight should be proud of what you have accomplished. In closing, I wish you could all have a life as lucky as mine; that you can wake up one morning and say, I do not want anything more. Furthermore, I want you to promise me something, that you will live each day to its fullest and have no regrets! Again, I thank you, for allowing me the privilege and honor to serve you, the members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. back to HYPERLINK \l "TOP"TOP _____ NACO Remarks NACON 2006 This is my last opportunity as National Commodore to personally report to you, the National Board of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Therefore, I feel it is only fitting to pause a moment and summarize where WE collectively started 2 years ago, how far we have come and the direction we must continue to follow. I feel it is important for us to recognize that as members of the Auxiliary, we were and continue to be, participating in both revolutionary and evolutionary times, with our internal organization being affected by the many external changes in our world. The changes experienced by the Auxiliary precipitated just 5 years ago by the events of September 11th, and last season?s devastating hurricanes, paralleled changes in the Coast Guard. We have both risen to the challenges and in so doing, raised the bar for both the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. In his touchstone document, Admiral Allen hit the nail on the head when he said, ?The good news for the Coast Guard is that we?ve never been more relevant. And yet the challenge is that we?ve never been more relevant. Highly visible, successful performance yields higher expectations and increased responsibilities and public trust.? The same can be said about the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Over the past 2 years, we have had more opportunities and greater demands for service ? largely rising from new or enhanced Coast Guard operations and support missions. Yet the demands related to our traditional missions, particularly those related to Recreational Boating Safety ? missions we share with the Coast Guard ? did not decrease. In fact, the total demand for our services had increased because of steady growth in Recreational Boating Safety needs and opportunities and the potentially explosive growth in Operations and Marine Safety related missions. We recognized that we had to become an organization focused not only on maritime safety but also maritime security on our waterways. Two years ago, we were facing new challenges and as the surge operations calmed, it become obvious that we needed to develop a set of realistic strategic plans; we needed to ?take a fix? and lay out a track line. It became very clear, that unless the Auxiliary could balance its missions, it wouldn?t be in control of its destiny. We recognized that the Auxiliary needed to be able to toggle back and forth successfully between sometimes competing missions without burning ourselves out. To be effective in meeting those demands, it became clear that we needed to balance and prioritize our missions and develop a viable blueprint for the future. That is where we started just a short 2 years ago. Developing strategic plans was certainly not glamorous work, but was clearly essential to our continued viability. Through research we increased our understanding of our environment, our customers, our opportunities, our resources, and our challenges. We then translated those insights into concrete actions at various levels in the Auxiliary. We established a vision, mission, and objectives and wrote our strategic plans for their accomplishment. In addition, the districts and the national departments completed operational plans, aligned with the strategic objectives of the national plan. I have read them all, over and over, and I am convinced, that our strategic plans, national, districts and departments, are sound and provide a ?way forward? for the upcoming years, necessitating only minor course corrections as circumstances require. This has been a monumental accomplishment, for which you are all to be commended. Completion of the strategic and operational plans positioned us well to embark on the contingency planning. Last year your districts began to work with your Sectors to establish emergency preparedness procedures. In eight short months, every district has a plan in progress. Furthermore, to support our readiness planning efforts and our integration with Coast Guard Forces, ADM Allen has signed the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Policy Statement. This one page statement clearly outlines our goals and charges the active duty and reserve components to fully engage the Auxiliary, at every command level. This statement was a long time coming and, finally, firmly places the Auxiliary in Coast Guard mission planning and execution. Yet to be effective, we further realized that our strategic plans had to be communicated to the membership. We posted the draft form on the NACO website, presented highlights at district meetings, and published articles in the Navigator and other publications ? all part of a communications initiative to solicit feedback from our senior leadership and members at large. Being responsive to that input, we refined and finalized the strategic plan. We also recognized that we needed to modify our communication with the Coast Guard itself. Today, we no longer are asking them what they need, but rather we are informing their leadership where we are headed, how we intend to get there, what we?re capable of and what resources we have and need in order to carry out our missions. This is a major change in how we conduct business. Today, we have a plan and the way to communicate it. Now, as never before, we need to have capable leaders, to be ready to continue to further refine and to continue ahead with the execution of our strategic plan. In practical terms this means that our leaders need to be competent, well trained, well informed, and willing to put in the necessary effort to do their jobs. To that end, we have updated all of our leadership courses in an effort to provide our senior leadership with all the tools they need to be outstanding leaders. Our efforts at increased professionalism are not limited to Auxiliary leaders. We are continuing the development of personal skills and competencies for individual growth and life-long learning. In addition to our focus on leadership training and professionalism, we have also been and continue to be RESOLUTE in our commitment to be good stewards of our resources. Among so many initiatives completed and underway, we are in the process of reviewing and recommending changes to the Auxiliary Budget Model in an effort to gain the needed capital to carry out our missions. Additionally, we have established a partnership with the Coast Guard Foundation with a negotiated line item for Auxiliary needs in the Foundation?s list of grant-eligible activities of $10 Million. We also continue to be RESOLUTE in our commitment to provide valued added support for Coast Guard programs and missions. However, we no longer simply stand at the ready. Where we see a good fit for our assets and people, and most importantly, where we can take action in support of our strategic plans, we must be proactive and professional in offering our support. As I look out into the audience, I see the people whose commitment to this organization has made our successes possible. My thanks go to the members of the National Board and Staff, who have made hard decisions ? good decisions ?. that have helped to chart our course; who have worked diligently on our planning processes and the implementation of our programs. We are now approaching another event that characterizes our organization. That is the election of our future leaders, from national to our flotillas, who will lead us on the next leg of our journey. These incoming leaders will inherit an organization, from the national to the flotilla level, that has a plan - knows where it is going - and how to get there. Looking at you, I see our future elected and appointed, national and district leaders. You will soon take the helm. In a few months, we, who come before you, will be proud to pass to you an organization fully engaged in the support of safety and security on our waterways. The Auxiliary?s transformation is not complete, but we do know our destination and how to get there, and we must continue to move forward. In the months before you take office, take time to study the strategic and tactical plans already in place and determine how best to apply your leadership talents to enhance the Auxiliary?s goals and course ahead. Much has been accomplished, but it is not time to relax and revel in our successes. Our successes merely illustrate what can be accomplished and what still needs to be done. The sense of urgency that we began with 2 yeas ago, must still prevail. We must continue to build on the passion of our members; who are the foundation of our capability. We must continue to evaluate new opportunities for program development that are consistent with our strategic plan. Our destination is set, appropriate waypoints mark our course, and timelines dictate our speed. The near-future challenge is to properly and fully execute the journey. In closing, let me just say that I firmly believe, that changing the course that we have set over these past 2 years, need only be done, to avoid dangerous shoals or to take advantage of following seas. Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you for the tremendous opportunity and honor to be able to serve our great organization, and to serve the Coast Guard and the recreational boaters, but most importantly, to serve the membership of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Thank you and ? ?

At this point last year, many units overloaded the AUXDATA servers and made it challenging to obtain reports. The AUXDATA workgroup has created a set of best practices to assist all units at this time of year: * Utilize AUXINFO to obtain all information regarding personal hours and awards. For information on using AUXINFO, go to the "How To" library at HYPERLINK "http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm"http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm * Do not run Unit Summary Reports. OSC will run them for you and send out an excel sheet with everyone's unit information. CG-3PCX will post this information on the Chief Director's webpage shortly after the New Year. * If a member needs specific information he or she can contact their unit's IS officer to determine the most efficient way of obtaining it. back to HYPERLINK \l "TOP"TOP _____ Online Ordering Now Available from the Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) The Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) is pleased to announce the opening of the online web store.

At this time of year I like to reflect back on those senior auxiliarists who were there for me 20 something years ago when I joined the Auxiliary. These mentors helped me through the challenges and frustrations of BQ and boat crew and encouraged me to find the things that I enjoyed doing in the Auxiliary. More importantly, they gave me permission not to feel like I had to do everything, I could be satisfied doing just what I enjoyed and giving as much time as I could afford. It was good advice and kept me involved and serving all these years. The successes and challenges of 2006 are done and behind us, it is now time to focus on the coming year and what we need to do to make it as successful as possible. Many of us joined the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to improve our boating skills and to provide some level of service back to our community. Fortunately for us, there are a multitude of opportunities to serve and I encourage you to take full advantage of everything that interests you. Be involved, learn and teach. If you have been in the Auxiliary for a number of years you have amassed a huge amount of information and experience that makes you the perfect mentor for new members in your flotilla. Take a future Commodore under your wing and help them to develop their skills and become a better Auxiliarist. Thank you for the time and effort you give to our Coast Guard Auxiliary. I wish you joy, health and happiness in 2007.

Discussing 21st century response capabilities, Secretary Chertoff focused on first responder interoperability in command-level communications, "a good deal of our effort in terms of pushing out money for grants in the next year or two is going to be focused on this issue. This is a challenge we've made a lot of progress in addressing, but we ought to close the gap between where we are now and our final end-state as quickly as possible."

Boaters wishing to have an emergency rescue beacon aboard their vessel must have a digital 406 MHz model. The January 1, 2007, date to stop using 121.5 MHz EPIRBs is in preparation for February 1, 2009, when satellite processing of distress signals from all 121.5/243 MHz beacons will terminate. Following this termination date, only the 406 MHz beacons will be detected by the International Cospas-Sarsat Satellite System which provides distress alert and location data for search and rescue operations around the world.
