REMINDER: 2008 Vessel Safety Check Decals Now Available
The Auxiliary National Supply Center (ANSC) has received an initial supply
of 2008 Vessel Safety Check decals. The overall supply should be more than
adequate to meet our demands and the demands of our partners. This year's
USCG Auxiliary distribution plan will duplicate the one used in prior years.
The quantity of decals received at each unit level will be a function of the
past year's performance. ANSC has already been given the quantities and will
deliver that number of decals and VSC Examination Record forms, ANSC 7012,
upon receiving the initial order request. Either the unit's elected officer
or the materials office must place the order.
