2008 Tide Book Errors
Members may have heard or read news reports regarding 2008 Tide Books
that have been printed with errors.
Click Here for the USCG Safety Alert
which addresses the issue. Two points for our members:
1) Please don't distribute any 2008 Tide Books to the public. Even with
a "correction insert" there are potential liability issues for the
Auxiliary. Without knowing of or understanding the Tide Book
problems...damage or injury could occur. All Alaskan tide book areas
appear to be affected.
2) Suggest our members visit the NOAA tides web site for accurate tide
table information. That site is noted on the attachment.

Auxiliary eDirectory
The Auxiliary Electronic Directory is one of the
better "tools" that has been offered to the members and is not just an
email list, it is very handy in getting information that you need.
In it you have the ability to look up your own records for your ratings
and competencies, it is much faster and easier to use than AUXINFO. You
can also do searches and get lists of other members by what they do
(crew, coxswain, etc) or what they are (FC, DSOs, FSOs) or even their
office (VE, PE, MT, etc). You can get lists of all your FSOs, Division
staff and DSOs that are above (or below) you in the chain of command.
The eDirectory is also the main avenue to verify that
you are actually an auxiliary member. This is the directory used by
anyone to verify your membership. The password used is how you will gain
access to any member supported services (like the
Shop Auxiliary site or any of the
Online District Stores).
Any new auxiliary services or
programs in the future that will require you to "log on" for security
will use the eDirectory password to gain access.
So it will be to your benefit and necessary for some
access to services to sign up at the eDirectory. Below is the link to go
to for the sign-up process.
