The vehicle owner must annually complete the new ANSC 7065 form, "Vehicle Offer of Use", (available on the Forms page) and have it on file at the DIRAUX's office prior to the towing. A record of this POV "facility" will eventually be recorded in AUXDATA. Members should contact their DIRAUX for more info as that is where the records will be stored until they can be inputted into AUXDATA not earlier than this summer.

Beginning in 1947 as the Courtesy Motorboat Examination (CME), the program quickly became one of the Auxiliary's most important assignments. The Coast Guard published safety standards and regulations, giving the Auxiliary authority to train members as ?inspectors?. The recreational boating community accepted the concept with enthusiasm. In May, 1947 the Auxiliary issued more than 1000 CME decals in the Miami area alone. To recognize and inspire current and future examiners, the HYPERLINK "http://safetyseal.net/"V-Dept is planning special recognition for participation in the VSC program plus incentives for examiners who meet 2007 productivity goals.

The Commercial Vessel Examination Division is now Vessel Activities Division. The Marine Safety Division is now the Port and Facility Activities Division. The O department has been renamed the Department of Operations (Response), and is responsible for the administration of the Auxiliary's Surface Operations, Air Operations, Telecommunications and Incident Management Programs. As of the first of July, 2007, the Operations Department was re-named the Department of Operations (Response) to better indicate the relationship of this department to its counterparts in the active duty Coast Guard. Two other changes were initiated on this date: - The former Aids to Navigation Division was transferred to the Department of Marine Safety (Prevention) - The Division of Incident Management was transferred into the Department of Operations (Response). Further changes are possible and will be addressed in upcoming issues of the department newsletters and posted on their web sites.

This will be used by the auxiliary leadership to make "course corrections" and hopefully improve member satisfaction. You can unsubscribe from the list at any time, and participation in any particular survey is not mandatory. To join the survey list, send a blank email to HYPERLINK "mailto:aux-survey-subscribe at survey.teamcoastguard.org"aux-survey-subscribe@ survey.teamcoastguard.org . After doing so, you will receive a welcome letter from the system. If you don't receive it within a few minutes, check your SPAM folder. The purpose of giving you an early opportunity is for us to test the capabilities of the list management software. If you experience any problems subscribing, please contact TJ Totland, our Division Chief for web services, at HYPERLINK "mailto:totland at verizon.net"totland at verizon.net with the subject AUX SURVEY in the subject line. I recommend adding HYPERLINK "mailto:aux-survey at survey.teamcoastguard.org"aux-survey at survey.teamcoastguar d.org to your address book/white list, so the actual survey invitation doesn't get lost in your SPAM folder. You will have until 17 OCT 07 to join the survey list; after that, subscriptions to the list will be closed. The actual survey will be distributed shortly after that, and you will have 2 weeks to complete the survey, which should take only 5-10 minutes. back to HYPERLINK \l "TOP"TOP _____ Soundings Magazine Slashes Subscription Rate for Auxiliary Members Soundings Magazine has reduced the annual subscription rate for Auxiliary members to $13.97.

A passing score for this requirement is 90 percent or greater. Members failing to complete the open book exam within the five year period are considered lapsed and must retake the exam in order to regain certification and receive orders.
