Thought I'd share to get people's thoughts on what this means. This is the first time I've received this direction in terms of avoiding wearing a Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform. The Coast Guard Auxiliary IS a public outreach function for the Coast Guard!

Subject: Fwd: Auxiliarist Uniform Guidance During Heightened Force Protection
Below is guidance for Auxiliarists during the increased FPCON period due to the events in Iran.
1 – Auxiliarists should refrain from wearing their uniforms whenever in transit to/from assignments to duty (e.g., patrol launching locations; meetings for Auxiliary business, training, public outreach).
2 – Unless an Auxiliary flotilla, division, or district meeting is held on a federal, state, or local government facility (public schools and libraries included), Auxiliarists should refrain from wearing their uniforms for such meeting.
3 – Auxiliarists should limit or obscure the use of easily identifiable Auxiliary or military luggage markings and tags in the course of assignments to duty and personal business.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
V/R,
CDR Tyler E. Kelley Director of Auxiliary – Northern Region Coast Guard Northeast District 408 Atlantic Ave. Boston, MA 02110
There’s concerns about people targeting Military and Federal personnel. Reserves and Auxiliaries classify as Military personnel. Whether it’s any of the NGO networks seeking to intimidate them. IRGC infiltrated peons engaging in revenge attacks. Or radicalized lone-wolf retards religious or otherwise who’ve been reading shit online from either side of the aisle.
Hmmm Why not just issue arms, to each one, fully automatic works well as a deterrent just saying
auxiliary uscg are volunteers. some cut grass. others with prior experience help augment operations. they don't carry weapons. they are the only group that can tow without any additional steps.
think of their enforcement as a drivers ED instructor vs active duty that are police officers in this analogy.
some are very well connected and a great resource to mention needs for your location ie... having an issue with government to get permission to get a permit.
