I seriously don't think this article should be considered a stub anymore. It seems to contain alot of usefull information as it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.0.242 (talk) 18:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Looks like the stub status have been removed. QueenofBattle (talk) 14:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, mate. Sometimes articles do not get reviewed or re-assessed for a long time because there are a lot of articles on Wikipedia and limited vision for those inclined to assess. As such, frequently articles will have a status that is not correct. If you believe an article needs to be re-assessed, you are able to do so yourself (only up to B class) providing that you are not assessing something that is mostly your own work (that is not really a requirement, but more of a good faith principle). Alternatively, you can ask for re-assessment by including the page name in the appropriate section on WP:MHA. I have added the B class checklist above and assessed the article now as a start class article. It needs more in line citations (at least one per paragraph or block of information) for a B class. I probably can't review Coverage and Accuracy properly because I don't know anything about the subject, but it seems to cover everything. However, I suggest that once (or if) the citations are added that you request it be re-assessed for B class at WP:MHA for someone who knows more about the topic to assess it. Hope this helps anyway.

Legal basis

I removed the second paragraph of legal basis because it is misleading. While Auxiliarists who independently have qualified as range instructors may serve in that capacity in the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard does not otherwise authorize Auxiliarists to carry firearms nor does it provide commensurate training.

Incorrect Link

I am not sure if this is the right context to point this out, if not then I do apologize. I would like to point out that the "Eighth Western Rivers Region (8WR)" link is dead. The top-level domain still exists, but doesn't seem to be related. Unfortunately I do not know what the correct link is, I was hoping someone more knowledgeable on the subject could correct it with an appropriate URL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fbumg (talk • contribs) 22:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Section 12.3 should be removed

Content in this section should be moved to Section 11.0, "See Also". Reason is self-evident. Kernel.package (talk) 20:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I have removed them, as the websites are not relevant to this article and the "see also" is generally for links to other Wikipedia articles (if they are not already included in the body text). QueenofBattle (talk) 20:44, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

ensign graphics suggestions

I would like to add a graphic of the CGUAUX operational ensign. Further, I would like to revise the graphic of the standard ensign (File:Uscgaux flag.gif), removing the header (the part with the mounting grommets), as that seems non-standard compared to other flag graphics on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ligart (talk • contribs) 23:45, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Office insignias

What is the meaning of an office insignia and which insignia corresponds to which office? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.211.236.105 (talk) 20:01, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, please remember to sign your post so we can address you properly. Just type four tildas and that will cause the system to sign your name. As per your question, Auxiliarists do not have rank. Each auxiliarist is a member of the auxiliary. When one is appointed to or elected to an office at the flotilla, division, or district level, then one holds an office. Offices range from operations to publicity to management. As a member one wears a shoulder board with a silver capital "A" inside a shield. When one starts to hold offices, one starts to receive bars on the shoulderbard. Meanwhile the color of the "A" changes. The bars for division and flotilla offices look similar, but are differentiated by color of the "A." For example a Vice Flotilla Commander and a Division staff officer have the same bars; however each has a different colored "A." District Commodore, National Vice Commodore, and National Commodore wear all silver shoulder bars with starts. One always wears the shoulder board with markings according to his or her highest rank. There is a device that can be worn on one's collar to signify one no longer holds that office. You can peruse the cgaux.org website for more information including how office and rank compare visually. Taram (talk) 21:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Where is the history of the organization?

The Coast Guard Auxiliary has been in existence since before World War II, but nothing is mentioned in its role during the war or since. Thought I would point this out, because this would cause the article to fail criteria B2 (coverage and accuracy). I will put this article on my list of things to do, OR some Auxiliarist could pitch in and help... Cuprum17 (talk) 17:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Cuprum 17. I just added a little history from the USCG AUX PA site. Hope that helps. Dalehawaii (talk) 18:00, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

I created WikiProject United States Coast Guard Auxiliary if your interested in joining.

Requesting assistance

I started the WP:WikiProject United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and I am having difficulty with finding new members to contribute to pages pertaining to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

I am of the opinion that the creation of the following articles would be beneficial: History of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, Notable United States Coast Guard Auxiliarists, Awards and decorations of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Interpreter Corps, Director of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary National Commodore, Missions of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary National Executive Committee, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary Association.

Expansion/improvements to these pages:United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and Uniforms of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary would also help.

Any assistance to support this project will be greatly appreciated. COASTIE I am (talk) 13:57, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
