Commandant's All Hands Jan 07 - Regarding the CGC Healy

From: Allen, Thad Admiral
Subject: Commandant's All Hands - Final Action on CGC HEALY Mishap

To the men and women of the Coast Guard:

On 17 August 2006, we lost two of our shipmates assigned to CGC HEALY, LT
Jessica Hill and BM2 Steven Duque, in a tragic diving accident in the
Arctic. There are valuable lessons to be learned by all of us regarding
leadership, risk management, training and program oversight that apply to
all Coast Guard operations. Therefore, I am directing all personnel to read
my entire report

Which Life Jacket for You?

A new Point of Purchase PFD poster designed to point customers towards the
best life jacket for their activity is now available for use by Recreational
Boating Safety Program Visitors. The 12” X 18” poster shows various boater
activities and suggests life jackets for that activity, with a very brief
description of what one should be looking for. The idea is that if someone
buys a good quality comfortable life jacket, they just might wear it.
Auxiliary units can order this poster from the Auxiliary National Supply
Center, ANSC 3505.

POV Towing Liability Insurance

The problem of liability insurance in the case where a privately owned
vehicle (POV) was not covered for liability insurance when towing government
property has been corrected. The vehicle may now be "Offered for Use". This
is particularly important if the vehicle is towing a trailer registered as a
DHS trailer with DHS license plates. The vehicle owner must annually
complete the new ANSC 7065 form, "Vehicle Offer of Use", (available on the
Forms page) and have it on file at the DIRAUX's office prior to the towing.
A record of this POV "facility" will eventually be recorded in AUXDATA.
Members should contact their DIRAUX for more info as that is where the
records will be stored until they can be inputted into AUXDATA not earlier
than this summer.
