2012 Portland Boat Show Schedule and Watch Standing

Shipmates,

It is again time for the first of our major show events of the year - the 2012 Portland Boat Show. This show is an outstanding opportunity to spread the Recreational Boating Safety message, attract participation in our classes, schedule VEs, raise the profile of the joint Coast Guard/Auxiliary team and speak to potential new members.


The main show days are Wednesday, 11 JAN to Sunday 15 Jan 2012.

I encourage each of you to participate in at least one shift and, as your schedule permits, serve multiple shifts.

The Coast Guard Ethos

Subject: The Coast Guard Ethos

Shipmates,

This message announces the release of the Coast Guard Ethos to reflect the enduring values and character of Coast Guard men and women in the active, reserve, civilian and auxiliary force.  It pays homage to our long line of proud Coast Guardsmen and sets the standard for the men and women who serve today, and will serve in the future.

Earlier this year, a senior-level work group convened to examine the Guardian Ethos and determine whether adjustments were needed to make the ethos a more enduring service charge.  The work group recommended minor changes to the existing language.  After consulting with the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard and other senior leaders, I approved the change.  The resulting Coast Guard Ethos will serve as an enduring statement of the fundamental character and spirit of our Service in a way that honors our profession and affirms our distinguished heritage.

The Coast Guard Ethos: I am a Coast Guardsman. I serve the people of the United States. I will protect them. I will defend them. I will save them. I am their shield. For them I am Semper Paratus. I live the Coast Guard core values. I am proud to be a Coast Guardsman. We are the United States Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard Ethos will replace the Guardian Ethos effective December 1, 2011, at Training Center Cape May, USCGA and OCS.  Coast Guard Recruiting Command will transition from existing materials as they are expended to the new Coast Guard Ethos.  All Coast Guard units and offices shall discontinue use of displays and materials featuring the Guardian Ethos by July 1, 2012.

A digital version of a Coast Guard Ethos poster for local printing is available at http://www.uscg.mil/top/about

Stand a taut watch,

Admiral Bob Papp                        Master Chief Michael Leavitt
Commandant                              Master Chief Petty Officer of the
Coast Guard
