Potomac Currents Division 25, 5Th Southern Coast Guard Auxiliary District 'Potomac Guardians' Potomac Currents Division 25, 5th Southern Coast Guard Auxiliary District 'Potomac Guardians' Honor, Respect, 1Devotion to Duty May/June 2012 Volume 04 Issue 03 From the Bridg e As we move into the second quarter of 2012, Division 25 received word from CAPT Weiss that Division 25 was 27% ahead of the previous year in hours reported. This increase in performance is primarily due to two factors. One is the energized level of Flotilla Commander and Division Staff performance. They, being able to form working groups with their five/six flotilla counterparts, are able to accomplish more than they could when trying to manage, organize and work with ten/eleven flotilla counterparts. The second reason is the outstanding support given to Members, Staff and Flotilla Commanders by the Vice Commander, Jerry Little and the Immediate Past Division Commander, Ernie Stevens. We have two main areas of mission focus. They are our Recreational Boating Safety Mission and the Support of area Coast Guard Stations. Don Golf, SO-CM, working with Station Washington liaison Barbara Allen, who is a Station Washington Watch Stander, provides Radio Watch coverage for over 85% of Station Washington's Watch Standing Requirements. Our goal is 100%. Don has recently placed the first Division 25 Watch Stander at Station Saint Inigoes. Don is also qualified and serves as crew on Station Washington's boats. The Flotillas have a growing number of completed and scheduled Boating Safety Courses and are proactive in the Vessel Examination program, which will increase as we move deeper into the boating season. Sam Tilley, SO-PA, has organized and provided for our Division's presence at the two major Spring Area Boat Shows and the Cherry Blossom Festival. The next big event is the Joint Services Open House at Andrews Air Force Base in May. The Division performed three Cold Weather Patrols earlier this year, one of which supported Station Washington's coverage of the State Of The Union Message. With warmer weather, we are seeing an increase in on the water patrols. Of special note is the excellent Division wide Boat Crew Training Program conducted by Flotilla 8 with John Sawyer and Paul Golden taking the lead. With thanks to DIRAUX we have PPE to issue our new qualified crew members. Unfortunately, one of our merged flotillas has not been able to muster a quorum at either of their two monthly meeting since the organizing meeting in February. Assistance will be provided to assist this Flotilla. The Division is working to enhance its Public Affairs Presence. The Flotilla Commanders had as their guests at the April meeting, along with CAPT Weiss, Sammy the Sea Otter. The Flotilla Commanders voted to purchase one of the robotic Sea Otters for the Division. The Flotilla Commanders have taken this proposed purchase to their Flotillas for a fund expenditure vote. Following this, SO-PA Tilley will present a plan to upgrade the Division's PA booth. We are, encouraging the Flotillas to follow CAPT Weiss' advice and use the funds provided by the membership to benefit the Auxiliary and increase mission performance. We continue to focus on proper Auxiliary uniform wear and improvement is apparent. The "Luckey Bag" clothing locker program started by the Division Supply Office, Jean Pilon will advance this cause. We also continue to stress the proper utilization of the Auxiliary Chain of Communication/Management.

    Forum Proceedings "Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet" September 9 & 10, 1999 Forum Proceedings "Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet" September 9 & 10, 1999 Homer, Alaska Sponsored by Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council Co-Sponsored by Tesoro Unocal Oil Spill Recovery Institute Cover artwork donated by Jim Evenson Preface This publication presents a summary of panel presentations and discussions that took place during the "Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet" Forum held in Homer, Alaska on September 9-10, 1999. The Forum was organized and hosted by the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (RCAC) with additional funding provided by the Oil Spill Recovery Institute, Tesoro, and Unocal. The primary goal of the Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet Forum was to bring together all the parties involved in marine transportation in Cook Inlet and identify steps that can be taken to prevent spilled oil. Cook Inlet is a key factor in the economy of the state of Alaska. The 220-mile long waterway serves as a marine highway for many types of vessels: oil tankers, log ships, bulk fuel carriers, LNG vessels, cargo ships, ferries, and cruise ships all rely on Cook Inlet to serve over 80 percent of the states population. Many of these vessels carry large amounts of oil, either as cargo or as bunker fuel, and they present real risks for a major oil spill. The Cook Inlet RCAC's mission is to promote environmentally safe marine transportation and the Forum was a step in that direction. At the time this Forum was taking place, Secretary Rodney Slater, U.S.

Merchant Fleet Four* Times Larger Than Before War ~ Inland Rivers Proved*Important In Wartime Armed Services Return* Ships to WSA Vol. IX MARCH, 1946 No.3 l The Biggest Day of Your Life Is Today Most people want to do big things. They dream of the day when their real powers will blossom forth in all their glory, and something big will be done. The great trouble about waiting to do the big things is, the years are piling up and nothing is being done. The day is not far away when one's powers to accomplish will be unequal to one's ambitions, and the dream will remain a dream-un­ filled and unattained. To sit by the dead embers of unrealized dreams is poor comfort for the years to come, and a sad commentary upon one's record of aspirations and achievements. The big thing can be done by most of us who dream in terms of successful accomplishment. How? It doesn't take a prophet to disclose the secret. Just ordi· nary sense and understanding of life will point the way to big achieve­ ment-DO IT TODAY. Do the little things that lie in our way that must be done-do them now, for the little things well done are the foundations of the bigger things we crave to do. Success is but the accumulation of little things faithfully done. Today is the most momentous day in your history-it will not come back when once it is gone, carrying with it its record of work.
