Regarding PEPIRBS or PLB’s (Personal Locator Beacons)as they are now known as now. Did you know that there is an ADDITIONAL DATA section in the online registration www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov in which you can update your location where you will be.
This saves a lot of time if your signal is picked up because right there on the form is the general area you plan to be in. Now they don’t have to make the calls to verify your location.
You can also take these units with you on vacation and if you got injured up in the mountains and had indicated you would be in say “Montana” and that is where the signal came from then help would be dispatched much quicker. These updates can only be done on-line since the only manpower required is yours. It’s like filing a float plan.
COMPASS PROGRAM
The Coast Guard is asking all interested personnel, Active Duty, Reservists and Auxiliarists to consider being a Compass member and doing outreach to the public about the Coast Guard. We already do this to an extent in our recruiting efforts for the Auxiliary, but the Coast Guard wants us to represent them as recruiting motivators and Public relations folks as well. Learn more by taking a look at the Compass Program website http://www.uscg.mil/diversity/compass for more information.
DSC IS HERE and will soon be in use by all Coast Guard stations!
The Coast Guard is implementing a new service that will help take the Search out of Search and Rescue. It relies on the boater having a DSC (digital selective calling) VHF radio hooked up to his GPS (Global Positioning System) or LORAN unit. This allows for a one button calling --call it a PANIC BUTTON if you wish. When it is activated it sends a distress signal and the position of the transmitting vessel. Consider it an automatic S-O-S. However, you must have a MMSI number registered to your radio and vessel. To get that number you may go to http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/
-- or simply click here for the MMSI Website to get your MMSI number and instructions on how to register and install on your vessel.
SECURITY FORMS
All Auxiliarists must undergo a degree of Security check. What you choose to become involved in determines the extent of the background check.
Everything has been consolidated on the Enrolment Application (form 7001) on the National Forms page. See the FORMS button above.
Additionally the applicant will be photographed and have 2 sets of fingerprints taken and sent in with the application. Each Flotilla has fingerprint technicians.
