At the meeting of Division 9 on Dec. 3,<br />
Irvin presented the booklets. BOSN4<br />
Kerner was visibly overwhelmed by the<br />
thoughtfulness of the division members<br />
in giving such a keepsake to station<br />
personnel. Booklets also went to all local<br />
flotillas and up the line to Sector St. Pete.<br />
Upon receiving a copy, Deputy Sector<br />
Commander Peter Martin said, “I’ve<br />
never seen anything done like this before.<br />
Those kids at the station will not forget<br />
this and they won’t forget the <strong>Auxiliary</strong>.”<br />
Sometimes, keeping a secret is a good<br />
thing.Ω<br />

This is a drill. This is only a drill. In the event this were a real emergency, Oscar would not be a dummy!<br />
While there is humor in the subtle, the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> <strong>Auxiliary</strong> takes training seriously. Sll we hear, “Have fun out<br />
there,” and many of us unabashedly enjoy our training acvies.<br />
