MST2 Rick McCarson gave the Flotilla a presentation on Auxiliary Assistant Pollution Responder at the March 12 Flotilla meeting. If you are interested in this program, contact Blake Cannon who is our FSO-MS and is working with MST2 Rick McCarson. On March 15, Charles George and Richard Daniel held an eight-hour First Aid Class for members of Division 12 at The Citadel. Charles did an outstanding presentation during the class. Thanks to Richard for putting the event together, and to those who attended. Flotilla 12-08, on March 16, had the opportunity to tour Coast Guard Cutter SENECA (WMEC 906) during its stay over at Charleston. The SENECA is a 270 ft medium endurance cutter out of Boston. All who attended enjoyed the tour. Please see the article on page six for additional details about the Seneca. The following Flotilla members have signed up as mentors as part of Mentor Recruitment and Training Plan: Bob Orenstein Richard Daniel Paul Berka I hope more senior members of the Flotilla will sign up as mentors for the new members.

We are continuing to make progress in the Marine Safety & Environmental Response program. The recent oil spill in Georgetown reinforces the need for this training and the need for Auxiliarists who are qualified to respond to serious incidents. Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training will be announced soon.

For Auxiliarists who wish to obtain qualifications that lead to earning the Trident device, but are only available on weekends, we are working on a plan to allow training alongside reservists on the second weekend of each month. Please feel free to call or email me for details.

Coast Guard Trivia There used to be a line of Long Range Radar and Navigation stations (LORAN) located above the Arctic Circle in places like Cape Atholl, Greenland. These bases were part of the DEW Line, and were linked with similar radar facilities from other services. What did DEW stand for? Answer on page eleven. please consider taking the test to do so. I would like to see a greater level of member involvement in teaching the About Boating Safely (ABS) classes and also maybe getting a Boating Skills & Seamanship (BS&S) class scheduled. Finance
Frank Leister, FSO-FN

The ABS class scheduled for 29 March was cancelled due to lack of students and lack of instructors. We need to look at other facilities for holding the classes. Total Wine has been suggested several times, but no one under 18 can attend if we have classes there. I would rather not limit the ages for this class because teenagers should be taking this class if they are planning on operating boats and PWC's. The Coast Guard Station is an option, but we would have to have a finalized roster a week in advance in order to give a list to the gate. I am looking into a few places for us to have the classes at no cost to us. We are in need of more instructors as well. If youre not currently qualified as an instructor,

The financial position of the Flotilla has not changed since the report given at the last membership meeting. We look to be on budget understanding that that membership approved a $200 addition to spending for VE. The Flotilla has a reserve of about $4000 with all outstanding bills paid. Meeting the 2014 budget, as always depends on either meeting our revenue goals or conserving funds on the expense side. Please feel free to submit any questions to me at fcl@lwinslow.com.

Historical April Events

1913: The cutter Seneca, designed from the keel up as the nation's first "derelict destroyer," inaugurated the services participation in the International Ice Patrol. 1918: CGC Seneca saved 81 survivors from the torpedoed British naval sloop Cowslip while on convoy route to Gibraltar. Cowslip had been attacked by three German U-boats. 1984: CGC Gallatin made the largest maritime cocaine seizure to date when it boarded and seized the 33-foot sailboat Chinook and her crew of two. A boarding team discovered 1,800 pounds of cocaine stashed aboard the sailboat.

USCGC SENECA
The members of Division 12 were very fortunate to have a unique opportunity last month to get a tour of the USCGC Seneca, which is based out of Boston. All of us here at Division 12 would like to extend a special thanks to Captain Kiley, and to the crew of Seneca, for allowing us to tour their vessel. The USCGC Seneca takes its name from a Revenue Cutter, which was launched from Newport News, Virginia and commissioned in 1908. Following the tragic loss of life on the Titanic in 1912, the International Ice Patrol began, with Seneca becoming the first cutter to handle ice patrol duties. In 1915, the Revenue Cutter Service joined with the US Lifesaving Service to form the US Coast Guard. USCGC Seneca, along with many others, were called into service during the First World War. During the war, USCGC Seneca escorted over 350 vessels between Gibraltar and Great Britain. She also rescued crew members from British vessels. In September of 1918, a torpedo struck the SS Wellington. The crew of 36 were rescued by Seneca, and volunteers were sent aboard in an attempt to repair and sail the Wellington back to Great Britain. Once underway however, the weather began to deteriorate, causing the Wellington to go down with 11 crew members from the Seneca. In honor of their efforts, a memorial plaque was erected at Gibraltar. USCGC Seneca would continue to serve until she was decommissioned in 1936. The modern-day US Coast Guard Cutter Seneca was built in Newport, Rhode Island. The keel was laid on September 16, 1982 and launched later in June of 1984. She was formally commissioned in May of 1987 and is the sixth of thirteen 270 Famous Class Cutters and she is designed to serve the US Coast Guard until 2038. On 13 July 2011, USCGC Seneca conducted an interdiction of a self-propelled semi-submersible vessel (SPSS) which was in the Caribbean. This was done with the assistance of air support from a helicopter detachment. The five-person crew of the SPSS was placed under arrest, and 7.5 tons of cocaine, valued at nearly $180 million, was seized. This mission was the first of its kind, and prevented an enormous amount of illegal drugs from entering our nation. Today, the USCGC Seneca, working under the Operational Control of Commander, Coast Guard Atlantic Area, is well prepared to conduct a variety of missions, such as: Counter-Drug Law Enforcement Fisheries Law Enforcement Search and Rescue Alien Migration Interdiction Operations Homeland Security

Vessel Examinations
Alan Miles, FSO-VE

Hello fellow Boat Inspectors and Members. As we get closer to the Boating Season we must start thinking about getting as many vessels inspected as possible to minimize Boating fatalities and injuries in our home waters. Check the Calendar find a schedule of the planned VEs for the entire year as well as the location of each. These are not BLITZES but are just regularly scheduled Vessel Inspections. During course of the Boating Season we will be asked to do some extra Inspections at the last minute or ask to concentrate or efforts during special times such as National Safe Boating Week, or Memorial Day Week End. These will be the BLITZES and will be announced as news flashes to the members. So we will have regular Vessel Examinations as scheduled and the BLITZES as special events. On April 16th, at 7:00pm we will have our Annual VE Refresher Training in the Brass Buckle. If you are a Qualified Inspector, please make plans to attend. The training is open to all members. In addition to members of Flotilla 12-8 and Citadel Detachment conducting the VEs, we will have Coast Guard Active Duty and Reservist working with us during these events. The events are coordinated with the SC Department of Natural Resources so we can maximize the coverage of our landings. We will also be covering VEs as boaters call in to request one. All Vessel Safety Examiners

are expected to respond to all requests by boaters for inspections. You will sometimes be asked to meet a boater at their home, work, or at a dock. That is part of the job. We will keep the Vessel Inspections Short and Sweet and out of the Heat so we will end the sessions before the heat of the days. Make sure to inform someone in your chain of command about you doing the inspection before you perform it so in case of an injury (such as the recent Auxiliarist who full into an open engine hatch), you can be covered under the Coast Guards Medical Provisions. Before closing there are two important points to cover. Those items are Vessel Safety Check Decals and Uniforms. As for the decals, you will be given your initial issue of decals and forms. You will not be issued anymore decals until you have used all your decals, and have entered your Vessel Inspections on form 7038 and 7029s for the time in preparation and travel. This is intended to maximize the benefit of the Boaters, the Flotilla and the US Coast Guard so funding of boating safety programs can continue. Please respect this and get the required documents submitted as soon as possible after the inspection. As for Uniforms, the Division Commander has reported several embarrassing incidents regarding Auxiliarists Uniforms. At these events, if you are not in a proper uniform as prescribed, you will be asked to leave to correct your uniform. Please make sure to give this your full support especially since we will be working directly with the recreational boating public.

Ive seen an increase in 7029, 7030 and 7038 activity being submitted. Great job everyone! When hours are all submitted, not only does the member receive credit, but also the Flotilla, and ultimately, the US Coast Guard. As always, if you have questions regarding paperwork, please feel free to contact me. Its also been brought to my attention that some members have been having issues with E-forms. I am still in the process of researching this to find which browser works best to submit forms. I will make sure members are kept informed. In the meantime, if youre unable to submit E-forms, simply bring a paper copy to the meeting and I will make sure its put into AUXDATA.

The Flotilla is maintaining a strong presence on the internet, and Id like to remind everyone to keep me informed on upcoming events. When I have the details, I can add events to the calendar, and create online sign up sheets which can be emailed to the membership and included in newsletters. Make sure to check the Flotilla website regularly for updated information. Make sure to bookmark the link shown on the left column. The Member Info Spreadsheet is updated weekly, and is viewable on tablets, computers and smart phones. Navigation Systems

With National Safe Boating Week approaching, Id like to remind everyone to make sure to save your photos so they may be used in the June newsletter. A summary of National Safe Boating Week will be included with the June newsletter. Id also like to encourage everyone to mark your calendars and make sure to sign up for an event. Tragically, South Carolina saw an increase in the number of boating fatalities from 2012-2013, so it is ever more important that we plan events for this, and get out the message of Recreational Boating Safety.

We have a request by station to check Cooper River Day beacon 31 (LLNR 3289.1), Monitor Station A (LLNR 3285), and Monitor Station B (LLNR 3275). Because of circumstances, I have not been able to do this. Station says it would be ok for us to wait for warmer weather. Marker 31 is about 15 miles up the Cooper River. If anyone has the interest in becoming ATON qualified, please feel free to email me. I am looking forward to an active and fun year.

Remember to le all 7029, 7030, and 7038 paperwork for Auxiliary activities. Please feel free to contact William Carter if you have any questions on submitting paperwork.

Never Stop Learning
Richard Daniel, FSO-MT

The First Aid class given by Charles George went very well. This was primarily designed for interested Division members. It was interesting and informative and well done by Charles. A special thanks to all who helped make this course possible. If you havent had a First Aid course, I would encourage you to sign up when the next one is offered. All boat crew trainees are reminded to look at the patrol schedule Joe Fleming put out and select the date that works for you. Give Joe a call to find out who the Coxswain will be and give him a call. You should not wait on an invite, but should instead consider the invite already open. Hope to see you on the water. There are opportunities to gain more knowledge by signing up on our web site for the upcoming ICS 310 course and the Auxiliary Leadership & Management (AUXLAM) workshop. Go to our Flotilla 12-8 web site and sign up, or contact William Carter to get on the list.

The Sexual Harassment workshop and VE workshop will be held on 16 April at the Brass Buckle from 1900 until 2100. Dress is civilian. Practical GPS for Boat Crews will be offered in May. This is a hands-on classroom and dockside course that will allow you to put a waypoint into a GPS and navigate to it. A course of several waypoints will be mastered; tracks and routes will be learned. This is critical to all Coxswain since they will have to demonstrate these skills at their recertifications. This course is open to all interested members. Uniforms are required. Also, make sure not to forget your Auxiliary Operations courses. They are available on line for your convenience.

Coast Guard Trivia Answer DEW stood for Distant Early Warning. This series of radar bases, staffed by the Coast Guard, composed a critical link in the American air attack detection system during the Cold War. The bases on the Dew Line were built to provide information concerning a pending attack from Soviet air forces as they approached from the northern polar regions. The dependents of Coast Guardsmen serving in these frigid outposts were usually housed in nearby Air Force complexes, like Thule Air Force Base. These bases were decommissioned with the advent of longer ranged, over the horizon radar, and improved NORAD defenses. The Coast Guard offers Arctic Service Ribbons for those who manned these bases.

A Few Good Things to Know about Uniforms and Purchase Sources One thing to know is that there are several places to obtain the Operational Dress Uniforms (ODUs) and the Tropical Blue Uniforms (Trops) as well as the necessary sew ons, patches, belts etc. The simplest and quickest way to obtain the ODU pants and blouse is to go to the Naval Exchange Uniform Annex on Red Bank Road, once you have your USCGA ID card. There you can buy the blouse and trousers, and have them make your name tag and USCG Auxiliary tag for the other pocket. They will sew them in place for you, and even provide a tailor service for those of us a bit fussy about how our uniform items hang and drape. They have the boots and shoes you need, socks and occasionally the tee shirts and ball caps. They also usually have some outer wear as well as the Tropical Dress Blue shirts and trousers. After you enter the base on Red Bank Road, drive past the full size exchange, Burger King, the fire station, and the Uniform Annex will be on your left, about 50 yards off Red Bank on a side street. If you get to a guarded gate, turn around and drive about a half mile back the way you came. Now the Annex will be on your right. Don't forget your ID card.

Secondly, you can pickup basic items at the Exchange on the base at Tradd Street. Tee shirts, caps, boots and some ODUs. No tailor or name tags are available though. Both Exchanges are open Monday through Saturday. Thirdly, there is the USCG Uniform Distribution Center at the other end of your phone, and on the internet. Their website is to be found at: http://www.uscg.mil/uniforms/ Not only do they have many uniform items; sizing charts and lots of helpful information are there as well. If you decide to call in your order, know what you want because the order taker is a pro. They move quickly to process your order and move on to the next person. The order takers are a great source of uniform knowledge, so if you are not sure of something do not hesitate to ask them. Have your credit card and order list in hand when you call them. For some Auxiliary specific items like insignia and name badges the USCG Auxiliary Association is the place. They can be found at: http://cgauxa.org/ They have lots of things other than uniform items. It is amazing to see what they sell and what some folks will buy. Make sure to check it out sometime.

PUB L IC AFFAIRS
Joe Woodbury, FSO-PA

Public Affairs is like any other Flotilla Staff Officer position. It cannot be completed without the help of many of the flotilla members. It is not just a Flotilla Staff Officer; it is a committee of leaders. This month we missed an opportunity to showcase the US Coast Guard and the USCG Auxiliary at the Summerville Flowertown Festival. We have taken steps to avoid missing future opportunities to showcase Flotilla 12-8 of the USCG Auxiliary. I salute Barbara Thibodeaux for stepping up to oversee and be the local contact for the booth events that require pre-show set-ups, a table, tent, handouts, childrens coloring books etc. and the big three clipboards: 1. About Boating Safety (ABS) course sign up. 2. Vessel Safety Check requests. 3. Membership in Flotilla 12-8. With lots of assistance from the members of the USCG Auxiliary 12-8 Flotilla, I will continue with the two Charleston Boat Shows, both the In-Water and the one at the North Charleston Convention Center, and of course, doing what I enjoy the most taking photos of Flotilla 12-8 members-in-action! Send me an email alert whenever there is a photo opportunity that I can use to showcase Flotilla 12-8 of the USCG Auxiliary. By the way, the In-Water Boat Show is coming up soonthis month! It will be held April 25-27. As with the Charleston Boat Show in January, every member of the USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 12-8 is

expected to participate in this event! Show your support Get involved! See you at The Charleston In-Water Boat Show, Bristol Marina and Brittlebank Park April 25-27.

National Safe Boating Week: 2014

I salute Jay Bird for stepping up to take control of the National Safe Boating Week (NSBW) activities. This is one of the highlights of our entire year. Every member of the USCG AUX Flotilla 12-8 is expected to contact Jay to inform him of how they will contribute to this enormous project.
Human Resources (contd.)

One last place I will mention is the Used Uniform Exchange to be found at: http://www.trlmo.com/cgaux8wr/pws/uue.htm While they are not an official supplier of uniform items, many people sell their out sized or no longer needed items at a very great savings. Might be worth a look. They update their listings ever month or so. You may need to check back with them every so often to keep an eye on the changing stock and sizes. And remember: Know What You Need To Know
