2008 Directory of Services

The Auxiliary Directory of Services has been updated for 2008 and placed in the Boating Department Documents Library. Minor changes include updating some annual statistics. A major change was updating the Public Education course offerings. The Directory of Services of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is a guide for the reader (usually outside organizations, partners and units of the USCG) to become acquainted with the capabilities of the USCG Auxiliary and its members.

REMINDER: Officer Eligibility Criteria Update

As per Chief DIRAUX policy in an ALAUX announcement 21 Feb 07, the Auxiliary Administration (AUXMIN) Specialty Course is no longer recognized for meeting elected officer eligibility criteria (a wavier was granted in 2007 for AUXMIN). The Administrative Procedures Course (APC) is the only acceptable course which will meet the eligibility criteria in 2008 and beyond. Anyone who desires to run for an elected office this year must have completed the Auxiliary Procedures Course prior to nomination. This applies to all levels of elected offices. You can take the open book APC exam on-line or use a written version available through the appropriate chain of leadership.
