Member Training
"WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU NEED COURAGE. WHATEVER COURSE YOU DECIDE UPON, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WRONG. THERE ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULTIES ARISING, WHICH TEMPT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR CRITICS ARE RIGHT. TO MAP OUT A COURSE OF ACTION AND FOLLOW IT TO THE END REQUIRES SOME OF THE SAME COURAGE THAT A SOLDIER NEEDS. PEACE HAS ITS VICTORIES, BUT IT TAKES BRAVE MEN TO WIN THEM." RALPH WALDO EMERSON

PROCTORED ON LINE EXAMINATION PROCEDURE CHANGE
NTC has made it easier for
members to register to take a proctored on line exam. The new
student registration page is at -
http://cgexams.info/testing/AuxopExamRequest.asp . You will
note that we have created a pick list of proctors. These are the
proctors who have registered. Once a proctor has registered they
will automatically show up on the pick list. If your Flotilla
proctor is not listed, they can register at
http://cgexams.info/testing/ProctorRequest.htm . Each District
sets the rules as who is appointed a proctor. NTC receives as list
of appointed Proctors from each District DIRAUX, which is used to
verify members registering as proctors. Once a Proctor has
registered they will show up in the pick list for members to pick
when registering for an exam.

We Need You -- The Coast Guard Auxiliary is called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions. We need all the help we can get. You needn't own a boat or be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging. For information about Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our Join the Auxiliary web page. You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard.
