In January 2009, the Auxiliary National Board approved a recommendation
to discontinue its use within the Auxiliary, and the Chief Director has
approved this National Board action.  Accordingly, the Service Dress Blue
(Alpha) uniform is no longer authorized as an Auxiliary uniform.

5/2009:
Coast Guard Headquarters has set up an Internet page at
www.uscg.mil/h1n1 to post Coast Guard specific H1N1 Flu Outbreak information
so that it can be accessed by Reservists, Auxiliary, and families.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. As of  December 1, 2008, the "old" AUXSAR course  and exam is no longer
available to Auxiliary members.  Members successfully passing the "old"
AUXSAR exam on or before November 30th will receive credit for the course as
a part of their six-course AUXOP program.  Members currently studying the
"old" AUXSAR course who did not successfully pass the "old" AUXSAR exam
before November 30th will have to start again and take AUXSC&E course.  The
New Auxiliary Search Coordination & Execution (AUXSC&E) Course replaces the
Auxiliary Search and Rescue (AUXSAR) Course.  For more detail on the AUXSC&E
course visit the National Training website at http://www.auxtdept.org/.

2.  Thus, all printed AUXSAR documentation including the 5508 Student Study
Guide, 5509 Instructor Guide, 5540 A/B/C exams are obsolete and should not be used or retained.

1. The U.S. Coast Guard has become aware of a potential problem with
installation of CO2 cylinders that have bayonet tips in inflatable personal
flotation devices (PFDs or life jackets). If a cylinder is not properly
installed, the PFD will not inflate with CO2. The problem may affect several
thousand PFDs, but the Coast Guard is only aware of one incident to date.

Subj:    AUXILIARY UNDRESS/WORK BLUE UNIFORM ITEMS AVAILABLE - LAST CALL

Hi Guys,
The Bear Search & Rescue Foundation is running a mutli-agency training in June.  There will be some stuff that doesn't work for us but, a lot that
does.  I attended last year for one of the days and it was very informative and interesting.  I'll be doing a brief presentation on Sat AM again this
year.  Anyway, pass the word around.  It may be an interesting event for any of your boat crew folks.
They should complete the attached forms and send on to the Foundation.
Thanks,
Tom

ELECTRONIC PASSPORT STATEMENT
Early in 2005, the U.S. Department of State will begin issuing a new type of passport containing an embedded
electronic chip and called an "Electronic Passport". The new passport will continue to be proof of the bearer's
United States citizenship and identity, and will look and function in the same way as a passport without a chip.
The addition of an electronic chip in the back cover will enable the new passport to carry a duplicate electronic
copy of all information from the data page. The new passport will be usable at all ports-of-entry, including those
that do not yet have electronic chip readers.
Use of the electronic format will provide the traveler the additional security protections inherent in chip
technology. Moreover, when used at ports-of-entry equipped with electronic chip readers, the new passport will
provide for faster clearance through some of the port-of-entry processes.
Issuance of this new passport will be phased in during an 18-month period. It is expected that by mid-2006
nearly all U.S. passports will be issued in this new format. The new passport will not require special handling or
treatment, but like previous versions should be protected from extreme bending and from immersion in water.
The electronic chip must be read using specially formatted readers, and is not susceptible to unauthorized reading.
The cover of the new passport will be printed with a special symbol representing the embedded chip. The symbol
"LOGO IMAGE" will appear in port-of-entry areas where the electronic passport can be read.
