This course will be a PowerPoint, which will cover the items in the aid verifier PQS. The course will cover Private AID verification, what to look for when reporting Federal aid discrepancies, and Bridge inspections. We will also cover items such as chart verification and Coast Pilot updates. It will cover the proper paperwork and reporting procedures for all the above. Upon completion the verifier will be required to complete aid/bridge verification with a qualified verifier in the spring. Note: ANY member is welcome and a special emphasis on that the member does not need to be crew or coxswain qualified. Members can complete numerous verifications from shore.
This is an introduction to AUXDATA, the Auxiliary Mission Data reporting system. Over two sequential sessions, we will share the duties and job responsibilities involved with becoming a Flotilla Staff Officer for Information Systems. We will show how to use AUXDATA. We will include: how to properly fill out Mission Reports; how to spot mistakes in Mission Reports; some explanations of the various forms and codes used; the importance of accurately reporting mission hours; and what that data is used for.
Students should bring laptops, and we will have some temporary logons and passwords, so they can actually do some data entry. This class is for any member who has an interest in getting involved in Auxiliary Information Systems.
One on one session with the DSO-IS, your opportunity to ask any questions you have, learn about some of the more common mistakes being made, and how to avoid them. Learn shortcuts for faster, easier data entry. Learn the importance of what you do. Get to know some of the rest of the IS Team.

This is a facilitated presentation that discusses Auxiliary recruiting and retention challenges and best practices gathered by recruiting and retention program managers around the Auxiliary.
To participate in Coast Guard Auxiliary communication programs and/or offer their radios for use as Auxiliary radio facilities, members must have completed AUXCOM prior to August 1, 2008 or be TCO (Telecommunications Operator) certified. AUXCOM is a communications specialty course that is required for AUXOP status.
The TCO PQS (personal qualification standard) will be introduced with recommendations on how to complete the requirements. TCO operations will be demonstrated. The required syllabus and sign-off sheets will be provided. Similarly, the AUXCOM course will be introduced and suggestions on how best to complete the course by self study, on-line, and/or classroom study will be presented.
Successful completion of this introduction should prepare you for the TCO PQS and lead to success with the AUXCOM exam.
This course will cover new RBS developments for 2019 for members supporting the Vessel Examination, Program Visitation, Marine Safety, Public Education, and Public Affairs missions. Learn about progression in the new PFD approval regulations, new PFD products on the market, new marine radio products/displays, and something special coming in the world of Visual Distress Signals (VDS)! Participants will review the top USCG Alerts affecting the recreational boating community as well as the Auxiliary’s National and Local areas of focus for the coming year.
Gain resources and practical techniques for becoming a more proficient examiner; leading VE Blitzes to engage more of our members in the VE mission, ways to reach out to all types of boaters, and how to approach boaters. This course will be beneficial for Vessel Examiners getting started in the program, or experienced members looking to sharpen their craft.
This course will provide tips on engaging the paddling community: who they are, how to find them, and building relationships. Participants will also review the special aspects of performing Vessel Safety Checks on many different types of paddlecraft: personal and rental.
Gather with 9WR leaders, share best practices, and discuss experiences living in a World without Brochures. (How can we perform outreach without a regular supply of printed materials? What do modern boaters really want? What do Marine Dealers want/not want at their places of business?)
Most Auxiliarists, no matter the mission, may find themselves encountering hazardous materials (HAZMAT); we are assigned to duty out of harm’s way, but sometimes “things happen”. This course is the same one taught to active and reserve members who may not regularly come into contact with HAZMATs, and is designed to provide the student with tools to help them stay safe. Become familiar with the Emergency Response Guidebook, container identification, defensive techniques when approaching a potential HAZMAT, and other tools to protect one’s self. (This course is accepted by MSU Chicago as the HAZMAT training portion of the Pollution Responder PQS.)
The discussion will be a D9-101 overview, reviewing the majestic AOR of which we are part of (the world’s most pristine freshwater source), the curse of seasonality on our operational missions (open water – hard water) and a review of Search and Rescue on the Great Lakes. It will be a PPT.

The Experimental Aircraft Association’s “Air Venture 2019” takes place July 22nd to July 28th in Oshkosh, WI. How does this concern the auxiliary? Well, with over 500,000 airplanes, pilots, aviation enthusiasts and visitors flocking into Oshkosh and over 10,000 aircraft from 80 Nations it can get a bit hectic. A portion of this activity is centered on Lake Winnebago, WI where over 100 amphibious and float equipped aircraft will land and take off from the “Sea Plane Base” on the waters of Willow Bay.
Coast Guard Auxiliary facilities operate on Willow Bay to provide a safe space for sea planes to land, taxi and take off during this period. Operating from Pioneer Marina in Oshkosh, auxiliary facilities conduct patrols to politely warn boaters of the danger areas where aircraft are operating. All patrols follow the boat crew manual and radio guard is provided by “Oshkosh Radio” the on-site, auxiliary staffed base station established at Pioneer marina.
This class is dedicated to providing you with information on both the operational patrols and the radio operations, as well as providing information about your ability to participate in these activities. Whether a coxswain, boat crew member, TCO or just an Auxiliarist training for one of those qualifications this class should give you the necessary information to make your decision to come to the EAA this July!
All facilities are staffed by a Coxswain & 2 crew members. 4 patrols are scheduled each day from 0700-2000hrs. (trainees welcome)*
All Patrols shifts are 6 hours in duration.
Oshkosh Radio is staffed by 2 TCO’s from 0700 until 2000hrs. (trainees welcome)*
*Trainees (TCO or Boat Crew) are welcome providing that a minimum “legal” crew is aboard the facility, or a qualified TCO is assigned to the communications position. Tasks may be completed and ‘signed off’ if they do not interfere with normal operations. No Check Rides will be performed during event patrols.
Every Coast Guard Station has “Command Navigation Standards” developed by the Station Officer in Command (OIC), which must be followed by the station’s active duty and reserve crews. With the support of the OTO, station OIC’s have been encouraged to adapt and apply their command navigation standards to Auxiliary underway operations within their AOR. This workshop will explore why an Auxiliary Command Navigation Standard supplement is needed and how the Auxiliary can assist in their development. Auxiliary navigation standards from Stations Milwaukee & Cal Harbor will be reviewed.
