AUXSC&E, which is the Auxiliary version of the Coast Guard's Search Coordination & Execution course, is an AUXOP course, and as such, is not required for qualification or currency maintenance for the Boat Crew program.

Sale on Tucked Version of the ODU

The Coast Guard Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) is offering a 4-for-1 sale on certain sizes of the tucked version of the Operational Dress Uniform (ODU).
For more information, check out ALCOAST message 381/08 at: http://www.uscg.mil/announcements/

Although this ALCOAST states in paragraph 6 that the current ODU may be worn until 31 December 2012, that deadline applies only for Coast Guard active duty and Reserve personnel. ALAUX 012/08 of April 2008 provided guidance on Auxiliary ODU wear that still applies...specifically, that the current tucked ODU will be authorized for Coast Guard Auxiliary wear until no longer serviceable.
