Whats up with the WWE copying TNA with their production? With all the "paparazzi" type of shit with cameras following wrestlers with questions and making it seem more of a reality show.

So I have been in this forum for a while now I normally post comments and read blogs (must shout out some great bloggers Knox, The Crippler, Rick Starr I know I have forgotten some but will give them a shout out next time). I have decided to write a blog and see if I garner any feedback. It's my first blog and I am going to talk about some of the things that have been going on in the WWE.
Hey guys Knox here, hope all is well folks. I'm blogging on John Morrison today. There's been talks that either he or the WWE aren't interested in renegotiating a new contract. I gotta give my take on this.
Personally, I am Morrison's biggest fan but his biggest critic at the same time. I want this damn guy to do good. Since when have you seen someone that's as talented as he is

SpringfieldAfter racism, school updates bullying policyBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | December 06,2012SPRINGFIELD The Springfield School Board postponed a vote on its new anti-bullying and harassment policies on Monday.
Board members said before they can vote, the policy needs approval from the U.S. Department of Educations Office of Civil Rights.
Federal investigators say in May 2010, a black sixth-grader was threatened by a Riverside Middle School teachers aide who used a racial epithet, the Associated Press reported in August.
The school district paid up to $3,000 in counseling services but one of the school districts attorneys, Pietro Lynn of Lynn, Lynn, and Blackman, confirmed it was a no fault settlement and voluntary resolution agreement. Even so, the OCR advised the school district to strengthen policies and train faculty and staff on bullying and harassment procedures.
One of the steps was to rewrite the harassment and bullying policies and take it further than the state of Vermont. Were in legal dialogue with them clearing our policy, said Zach McLaughlin, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment.
The school districts draft policies will include language provided by state and federal agencies. The policy on bullying prevention is defined as an overt act or combination of acts including electronic acts directed against students.
Bullying incidents are typically repeated over time, directed at a particular student and intended to ridicule, humiliate or intimidate, according to the draft policy.
The policy on harassment prohibits the unlawful harassment of students based on race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Each school will select two or more employees to receive complaints and publicize their availability within the district, the draft says.
The OCR added language to the proposed policies for an enhanced appeal process. If an individual commits an act of bullying or harassment, the person can appeal the decision in accordance with the districts disciplinary policy, statues or collective bargaining agreements.
Both policies will also include independent reviews. If an individual commits an act of bullying or harassment and is not satisfied with the decision, they may submit a request in writing to the Springfield Superintendent of Schools.
The appeals process for bullying and harassment will be identical, Springfield Superintendent Frank Perotti said.
The district also designated McLaughlin as the new equity coordinator to oversee all aspects of implementation. The coordinator will be responsible for implementation the Equal Opportunity in Education and Civil Rights Acts.
The Vermont Legislature passed a law last biennium requiring school districts to put anti-bullying and harassment policies in place by Jan. 1, 2013. The School Board will revisit the new policies before the end of the year, but a date has not been determined.

As the denizens of Earth openly mockk you, their god, by attempting to build a tower to the heavens, it is your job to put them in their place. Very much like a tower defense title, except... well, you're trying to burn the tower to the ground. Looks like a ton of fun, and can't wait to try it out for ourselves!

Fort Ward's Biggest Civil War Event of the Year Explores the Early War
On Saturday, August 13, Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site will host its Civil War Camp Day, a day-long living history event highlighted by Union and Confederate drills and camp life. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., costumed interpreters will take part in drilling and camp demonstrations, with a particular focus on uniforms and equipment from the early war. The emphasis on this early period coincides with the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.
This is Fort Ward's largest Civil War event of the year, and several units are scheduled to take part, including the 5th New York "Duryee" Zouaves, the 1st U.S. Artillery, Co. D, and the 5th Virginia Infantry. Artillery interpreters, located in the restored Northwest Bastion, will discuss their duties and equipment. Among the civilian impressions are a U.S. Military Railroad worker and a Yankee schoolmarm who will display popular toys, games and other items that were popular pastimes for children in the mid-19th century.
Visitors can also tour the preserved Union fort, learn about an officer's duties and living quarters at the reconstructed Officers' Hut, and view the new Museum exhibition, "The Marshall House Incident." The deaths of Union Colonel Elmer Ellsworth and secessionist James Jackson at the Marshall House Hotel on King Street during the Federal occupation of Alexandria on May 24, 1861, stirred patriotic fervor in the North and South.
The Civil War Camp Day event is great family fun. Admission is $5 per adult and $10 for families with children. Free parking will be available along West Braddock Road.
Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site is located at 4301 West Braddock Road in Alexandria. It was the fifth largest installation within the extensive network of forts known as the Defenses of Washington, which was built to protect the Federal capital during the Civil War.

PANAMA CITY — Residents can enjoy a toast in city parks, though it will not be as easy as popping a cork.
Discussion of permits for alcoholic beverages in city parks was placed on Tuesday night's Panama City Commission agenda by Commissioner John Kady.
"I've had some requests recently to use our parks for weddings and those types of gatherings, and there's been some confusion as to whether or not they can have alcoholic beverages as part of those gatherings," Kady said.
Commissioners over the past year have worked to consolidate and clarify permit policies to make them more "user friendly," according to Kady. However, the language in the code of ordinances left inconsistencies regarding alcohol in parks.
The code originally said alcohol was not permitted in the rights-of-way or in parks, then went on to state the commission could make exemptions for rights-of-way – but didn't mention parks.
There was no ability for the commission to give an exemption to serve alcohol in public parks. Last year when the commission reviewed the code, language was added that seemed to conflict.
"One of the things we had to go back and look at is in the code book," said Jeff Brown, assistant city manager. "Come to find out [the code] allows for alcoholic beverages to be served in parks with commission approval."
That was the most recent law on books, so it would be the guiding law and repeal the conflicting ordinance, according to City Attorney Rowlett Bryant.
"Just as we review park and parade permits, we will also include the alcohol issue," Brown said.
However, they will have to get the alcoholic liability insurance policy. Then, provided they get the liability, they can turn it over to the city manager's office to be placed on the commission's agenda to be voted on by commissioners.
"If someone came in tomorrow with one of those applications the staff would look at it because the newest ordinance was passed last year by the commission," Brown said.
Events involving street closures or alcohol have to be submitted to the Panama City Police Department no fewer than 60 days before the event and a maximum 180 days before.
"I had a phone call from a lady in her 20s who wanted to get married in downtown," Commissioner Billy Rader agreed. "She said I just would like to have a toast of wine at our wedding. I think we can make that happen for people."
Commissioners also:
- Approved the annual FY12 street resurfacing list.
- Approved the purchase of two side loaders and one front loader refuse trucks for a total of $704,897, and trade-in of three used vehicles for a total of $90,000, and acceptance of an Interlocal Participation Agreement with the Buy Board National Purchasing Cooperative.
- Approved two change orders for the Downtown Redevelopment Project. One of $10,800 to the AECOM Design Contract for air-conditioning upgrades for the new bathrooms, and the second for $3,200 to upgrade the Amphitheater Performance area with a weather screen.
- Accepted a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation Highway Safety Fund in the amount of $42,450 and a budget amendment in the same amount to purchase software and equipment needed to upgrade the Panama City Police Department's TraCS software system.
- Approved a final payment of $56,958.90 to Xtralight Manufacturing Partnership, LTD Utility Metering Solutions for the automatic meter reading installation project.

MIRAMAR BEACH – After a winter season renovation, Seagar's Prime Steaks and Seafood has reopened with a new look and some new tricks.
The renovation was an enhancement rather than a complete change. Happily, the excellent food and service diners have enjoyed since 1998 are still in place.
The food
While the menu has changed, many of the items that have made Seagar's a memorable dining experience remain.
Among the starters, you will find the Emerald Coast Martini (shrimp and lump crab with brandy-mustard sauce), lush lobster bisque and Osetra caviar served with all of the accoutrements (including chilled vodka).
And Seagar's offers a three-tiered seafood tower of Maine lobster, shrimp and king crab legs. It is a beautiful and delicious way to start a special meal.
Seagar's steaks and lamb chops are USDA Prime. They include tender filet, flavor-packed bone-in ribeye and a 24-ounce porterhouse. Chateaubriand for two is offered as well. All are expertly prepared to each diner's specification.
While Seagar's is probably best known for its steaks, seafood options meet the same level of quality. Battered and fried South African cold water lobster tails have been a popular menu item for many years. Steamed or broiled lobster is always sweet and tender. And Dover Sole, with its brown butter, capers and lemons is a lovely dish that is filleted tableside for extra flair.
Snapper is served with a potato puree, peas and mushrooms. A combination of tuna and king crab is teamed with gnocchi, baby squash and peppers. Meaty halibut gets the classic Italian treatment with lemon pasta, artichokes, fava beans and pecorino cheese.
Add-ons are available to take your entrée to the next level. They include fried lobster, grilled shrimp, Maytag cheese and bacon, au poivre, Oscar, crab cakes and foie gras.
Among the side dishes are truffle fries, rich macaroni and cheese, onion rings with housemade ketchup and sautéed broccolini.
The lounge menu at Seagar's features small plates such as an Open-Faced P.B.L.T. (pork belly, lettuce and tomato), an artisan cheese plate and oyster and bacon brochettes.
It also includes some delicious cocktails. The Seagar's Smash of gin and vodka is brightened by basil, lime and elderflower liqueur.
From playful chocolate milk and cookies, to classic crème brulee and showy Bananas Foster, dessert at Seagar's promises a satisfying end to the meal. Banana beignets, a Key lime tart and the customary steakhouse cheesecake are other excellent options.
Seagar's wine list has always been excellent, with many highly allocated wines included. But now choosing a wine has become even more fun.
The wine list is presented on an iPad. Just tap to find wines by suggested pairings, varietals and regions. Of course, there is always expert help available to assist with your selection as well.
Another welcome addition to Seagar's is the delicious bread from Crust Artisan Bakery in Santa Rosa Beach.
The atmosphere
The entrance to the restaurant has a new fire and water feature that hints at the seared steaks and fresh seafood to come. Seagar's has a display kitchen that is always bustling, and lots of enthusiastic diners, making for a dining room with good energy.
The décor is sophisticated and calm, but relaxed and unpretentious. Seating, whether at a table or a booth, is comfortable. The lounge area is comfortable and elegant.
The service
Service at Seagar's is polished and professional. The service staff has extensive knowledge of every aspect of the menu, and is attentive without ever being intrusive.
A final taste
Seagar's is a very special restaurant. It may not fit into an everyday budget, but the value is definitely there. From the setting to the food and wine to the service, everything about Seagar's is of premium quality.

White interested in Shogun moving to 185 or retiring with UFC Fight Night 33 loss
s a huge fight for both of these guys, White said. Obviously for Shogun Rua, to be in this position right now fighting a guy like Te Huna this is the fight of Te Hunas life. If Te Huna wins this fight, it catapults him into the Top 10, everybody knows his name and everybodys going to want to see whats next for him.
And yes, if Shogun loses this fight, I probably would have that (retirement) conversation with him.
At a recent fan Q&A in his native Brazil, Rua said he has never given serious thought to dropping down from light heavyweight and that hed have to consult with doctors before making such a drop. He wouldnt rule out the possibility.
If faced with his boss wanting him to hang up the gloves or drop down to middleweight, who knows what the 32-year-old would say.
White said he hasnt had the conversation with the former champ about making the move, but will wait to see what happens this week.

Information on the current legislation and legislative news.
MEA President Steve Cook sent a letter Tuesday to all state representatives expressing MEA's support for House Bills 4465 and 4466, which seek to provide more flexibility and local control for districts in establishing graduation requirements for students.
In the current legislative environment, bills worthy of MEA support can be rare, but sponsors Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, and Joel Johnson, R-Clare, were inclusive of a variety of education stakeholders, including MEA, in developing these bills.
"Aside from our support, I offer our thanks and appreciation for the efforts of Representatives McBroom and Johnson as they ushered this legislation through an exhaustive and transparent process that engaged many different stakeholders in the education community," Cook wrote in his letter. "Those discussions led to better bills and our ability to support them. MEA continues to stand ready to similarly engage on other education issues with representatives from both sides of the aisle."
Steve Norton, executive director of Michigan Parents for Schools, testifying Wednesday before the House Education Committee in opposition to House Bill 4625, which would ban school districts from considering teachers' experience and much of their educational attainment when setting their wages.
It would be illegal to pay future educators based on their experience and education except for few exceptions, under legislation introduced by state Rep. Pete Lund, R-Romeo.
Legislation introduced by Rep. Pete Lund, R-Romeo, would make it illegal to pay future educators based on their experience and advanced degrees, except for few exceptions.
Republican lawmakers are ignoring external factors that affect student learning by introducing a bill that would make teacher "performance" the primary factor in determining educators' pay, education advocates told the Associated Press in an article published over the weekend.
House Bill 4625, introduced May 7 by Rep. Pete Lund, R-Romeo, would make it illegal to pay future educators based on their experience and advanced degrees, except for few exceptions.
Instead, the bill would make teacher performance the "primary" factor in determining pay, as opposed to its current status of being a "significant" factor. Performance would be primarily measured by student growth on standardized tests.
The AP reported Sunday that "such a policy could lead to competition in schools where cooperation and idea-sharing is essential, and punish teachers working in low-income areas where factors beyond the teacher's control can hinder student growth."
Basing teachers' pay on high-stakes testing can force educators "to engage in a competitive, sort of cutthroat nature with one another," said state Rep. David Knezek, D-Dearborn Heights. "I don't think that cultivates the type of environment we want in the classroom."
In addition, doling out pay to teachers based on their students' test scores could unfairly punish teachers who serve academically- or economically-challenged students, state Rep. Winnie Brinks, D-Grand Rapids, said.
The state Senate passed a bill Thursday that would spare school districts from losing funding this year for missing too many days due to last winter's unusually inclement weather.
Under current law, school districts must provide at least 1,098 hours of instruction over the course of at least 170 days. If districts don't meet both the days and hours requirements, they are ineligible for state aid.
Sen. John Pappageorge, R-Troy, told the Detroit Free Press, "I'm not going to punish anybody for something they did legally."
Penalizing school districts and higher education institutions that negotiated "fair share" agreements with employees prior to the implementation of Michigan's so-called "right-to-work" law is not on the agenda of Republicans in the Michigan Senate, who this week passed education appropriations bills out of committee without the penalties.
That's in sharp contrast to the state House, where Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee voted recently to eliminate grants for K-12 districts, penalize universities by 15 percent and not increase funds for community colleges — all because they followed the law and negotiated in good faith with school employees.
Between last December's passage of right-to-work and its March 28 effective date, many school districts, colleges and universities negotiated fair share agreements with their employee associations. The agreements require that employees who benefit from union representation pay their fair share toward the cost of representation. Michigan's new right-to-work law bans fair share agreements, but only for contracts not in place by March 28.
Extremist politicians have relentlessly attacked employers for negotiating fair share agreements, insisting they should have followed a law that wasn't yet in place. Those attacks have included being called before McCarthy-style committee hearings in Lansing about the agreements, as well as threats of funding cuts for schools or universities that entered into contracts with employees prior to the implementation date.
While Republicans in the House are attempting to follow through on their threats and take away much-needed resources from students and school employees, Republicans in the Senate seem to be taking a more measured and responsible approach to the issue.
Michigan House Democrats have proposed major increases in public education funding.
The Michigan House Democrats' budget, released this week, proposes to increase pre-K-12 funding by $537 million and higher education funding by $37.5 million, while providing three-quarters of a billion dollars in tax relief for middle-class families.
The overly partisan atmosphere in the Michigan Capitol led to the state House narrowly passing legislation yesterday to expand the Education Achievement Authority — without protections for students, teachers and education support staff.
House Bill 4369, which passed by a 57-53 margin, allows the EAA to take over up to 50 public schools across the state that are deemed to be in the state's bottom 5 percent — without so much as conducting an educational audit to determine the specific problems facing the schools in question. The EAA would also be allowed to create new charter schools within two miles of a so-called "failing" school.
In addition, public school employees transferred to EAA schools would lose their collective bargaining rights. An amendment to the bill late Thursday allows current school employees hired by an EAA school to remain members of the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System – but new EAA employees would not be in the system.
The state House may vote this week on House Bill 4369, which would create a statewide "takeover" district called the Education Achievement Authority that would take over local schools, eliminate employees' collective bargaining rights and silence the voices of local citizens.
MEA President Steve Cook (right) addresses media at the state Capitol on March 14 about the MEA's support for House Bill 4104, which would close a dangerous loophole that allows concealed pistol license holders to openly carry firearms in Michigan schools. With Cook is the bill's sponsor, Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing.
The Michigan Education Association endorsed legislation Thursday that would close a dangerous loophole in Michigan's gun law that allows a concealed weapons license holder to openly carry a gun in gun-free zones such as schools.
The state House Education Committee today passed House Bill 4369, which would create a statewide "takeover" district called the Education Achievement Authority. The bill will next come up for a vote before the full House of Representatives, although analysts don't yet know when.
All of the Republicans on the committee voted in favor of the bill, with the exception of Rep. Bob Genetski, R-Saugatuck, and Rep. Tom Hooker, R-Byron Center, who voted "present." All Democrats voted no, except Rep. Thomas Stallworth III, D-Detroit, who also voted "present."

I politely responded that our blog focused on NXT robots (with an occasional off-topic post but we try to keep it related to NXT or at least robotics in general) - "Thanks for sharing... sorry to have to say no, but keep up the good work... etc."
I got a reply back stating that the VEX robot was using NXT parts (he seems to not understand that Technic parts are Technic and not limited to just NXT) and that he couldn't get an NXT robot to complete some challenge map (he didn't specify). He then went on to rip on NXT and saying how VEX was better... blah blah blah. Nothing I haven't heard in emails before. But then... he goes and says this:
"I can drive my VEX robot around and finish the challenge in half the time it took (NXT team name) to do the same stuff because they don't have remote control! LOL LOL LOL"
Hmmm... where was I to begin? I responded politely (again) that driving a robot around via remote control completely negates the "robot" description. I included Webster's online definition:
|a machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routine tasks on command.
|a person who acts and responds in a mechanical, routine manner, usually subject to another's will; automaton.
|any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically with humanlike skill.
|operating automatically: a robot train operating between airline terminals.
I mentioned the key to me: "operating automatically" and congratulated him. Of coure, I couldn't just let it go completely, so I added "Technically, the NXT team wins the challenge in my mind as their robot completed the challenge without human control."
And this started a firestorm which has since caused me to block that user's email due to some not-so-nice language and unprofessional behavior. No follow-up info to report.
But this brings me to the purpose of this post - do you consider a remote controlled "robot" to be a robot? If something is being manually controlled by a human versus performing actions autonomously, which do you find more interesting - challenging - impressive?
In the NXT world, I'm sure this is bordering on the Mac vs. PC debate, so keep your responses clean and professional. I'm just curious to know what our readers think...

Student Housing
"Mi Casa Es Su Casa"( My House Is Your House), a famous greeting in the Hispanic culture, is what we practice at the Texas State Technical College Housing Department. I want every student to feel at home while staying in our dorms, especially those away from home for the first time. Our dorms are unique because they are more like apartments than the resident-enclosed buildings found at many colleges. I want to simulate the apartment lifestyle to help prepare students for independent living after their college experience.

As one of the five armed forces and the smallest armed service of the United States, its stated mission is to protect the public, the environment, and the United States economic and security interests in any maritime region in which those interests may be at risk, including international waters and America's coasts, ports, and inland waterways.
The Coast Guard has many statutory missions, which are listed below in this article.
In addition, the Coast Guard has separate legal authority than the other four armed services. The Coast Guard operates under Title 10 of the United States Code and its other organic authorities, e.g., Titles 6, 14, 19, 33, 46, etc., simultaneously. Because of its legal authority, the Coast Guard can conduct military operations under the Department of Defense or directly for the President in accordance with 14 USC 1-3.
While most military services are either at war or training for war, the Coast Guard is deployed every day. With a decentralized organization and much responsibility placed on even the most junior personnel, the Coast Guard is frequently lauded for its quick responsiveness and adaptability in a broad range of emergencies. In a 2005 article in TIME Magazine following Hurricane Katrina, the author wrote, "the Coast Guard's most valuable contribution to [a military effort when catastrophe hits] may be as a model of flexibility, and most of all, spirit." Wil Milam, a rescue swimmer from Alaska told the magazine, "In the Navy, it was all about the mission. Practicing for war, training for war. In the Coast Guard, it was, take care of our people and the mission will take care of itself.
The Coast Guard's motto is Semper Paratus, meaning "Always Ready". The service has participated in every U.S. conflict from 1790 through to today, including landing US troops on D-Day and on the Pacific Islands in World War II, in extensive patrols and shore bombardment during the Vietnam War, and multiple roles in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Maritime interception operations, coastal security, transportation security, and law enforcement detachments are its major roles in Iraq.
The formal name for a member of the Coast Guard is "Coast Guardsman", irrespective of gender. An informal name is "Coastie." "Team Coast Guard" refers to the three branches of the Coast Guard as a whole: Active Duty, Reservists, Civilians and the Auxiliary.
The term "armed forces" means the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.The Coast Guard is further defined by :
The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy.Coast Guard organization and operation is as set forth in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
On February 25, 2003, the Coast Guard was placed under the Department of Homeland Security. The Coast Guard reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security. However, under as amended by section 211 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, upon the declaration of war and when Congress so directs in the declaration, or when the President directs, the Coast Guard operates under the Department of Defense as a service in the Department of the Navy. authorizes the Coast Guard to enforce federal law. Further, the Coast Guard is exempt from and not subject to the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act which restrict the law enforcement activities of the other four military services within United States territory.
On October 17, 2007, the Coast Guard joined with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps to adopt a new maritime strategy called A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower that raised the notion of prevention of war to the same philosophical level as the conduct of war. This new strategy charted a course for the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps to work collectively with each other and international partners to prevent regional crises, manmade or natural, from occurring or reacting quickly should one occur to avoid negative impacts to the United States. During the launch of the new U.S. maritime strategy at the International Seapower Symposium at the U.S. Naval War College, 2007, Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen said the new maritime strategy reinforced the time-honored missions the service carried out in this U.S. since 1790. "It reinforces the Coast Guard maritime strategy of safety, security and stewardship, and it reflects not only the global reach of our maritime services but the need to integrate and synchronize and act with our coalition and international partners to not only win wars ... but to prevent wars," Allen said.
(1) carry a firearm;
(2) execute and serve any order, warrant, subpoena, summons, or other process issued under the authority of the United States;
(3) make an arrest without a warrant for any offense against the United States committed in the officer's presence or for a felony, cognizable under the laws of the United States committed outside the officer's presence if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing a felony; and
(4) perform any other law enforcement duty that the Secretary of Homeland Security may designate.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office Report to the House of Representatives, Committee on the Judiciary on its 2006 Survey of Federal Civilian Law Enforcement Functions and Authorities identified the U.S. Coast Guard as one of 104 federal components employed which employed law enforcement officers. The Report also included a summary table of the authorities of the U.S. Coast Guard's 192 special agents and 3,780 maritime law enforcement boarding officers.
Coast Guardsmen have the legal authority to carry their service-issued firearms on and off base, thus giving them greater flexibility when being called to service. This is not always done, however, in practice; at many Coast Guard stations, commanders prefer to have all service-issued weapons in armories. Still, one court has held that Coast Guard boarding officers are qualified law enforcement officers authorized to carry personal firearms off-duty for self-defense.
As members of a military service, Coast Guardsmen on active and reserve service are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and receive the same pay and allowances as members of the same pay grades in the other uniformed services.
The roots of the Coast Guard lie in the United States Revenue Cutter Service established by Alexander Hamilton under the Department of the Treasury on August 4, 1790. The first USCG station was in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Until the re-establishment of the United States Navy in 1798, the Revenue Cutter Service was the only naval force of the early U.S. It was established to collect taxes from a brand new nation of patriot smugglers. When the officers were out at sea, they were told to crack down on piracy; while they were at it, they might as well rescue anyone in distress.
"First Fleet" is a term occasionally used as an informal reference to the US Coast Guard, although as far as one can detect the United States has never in fact officially used this designation with reference either to the Coast Guard or any element of the US Navy. The informal appellation honors the fact that between 1790 and 1798, there was no United States Navy and the cutters which were the predecessor of the US Coast Guard were the only warships protecting the coast, trade, and maritime interests of the new republic.
The modern Coast Guard can be said to date to 1915, when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the United States Life-Saving Service and Congress formalized the existence of the new organization. In 1939, the U.S. Lighthouse Service was brought under its purview. In 1942, the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation was transferred to the Coast Guard. In 1967, the Coast Guard moved from the Department of the Treasury to the newly formed Department of Transportation, an arrangement that lasted until it was placed under the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 as part of legislation designed to more efficiently protect American interests following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
In times of war, the Coast Guard or individual components of it can operate as a service of the Department of the Navy. This arrangement has a broad historical basis, as the Guard has been involved in wars as diverse as the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the American Civil War, in which the cutter Harriet Lane fired the first naval shots attempting to relieve besieged Fort Sumter. The last time the Coast Guard operated as a whole under the Navy was in World War II. More often, military and combat units within the Coast Guard will operate under Navy operational control while other Coast Guard units will remain under the Department of Homeland Security.
Graduates of the program typically receive a commission in the Coast Guard at the rank of Ensign, but some with advanced graduate degrees can enter as Lieutenant (junior grade) or Lieutenant. Graduating OCS officers entering Active Duty are required to serve a minimum of three years, while graduating Reserve officers are required to serve four years. Graduates may be assigned to a ship, flight training, to a staff job, or to an operations ashore billet. However, first assignments are based on the needs of the Coast Guard. Personal desires and performance at OCS are considered. All graduates must be available for worldwide assignment.
In addition to United States citizens, foreign cadets and candidates also attend Coast Guard officer training. OCS represents the source of the majority of commissions in the Coast Guard, and is the primary channel through which enlisted ranks can ascend to the officer corps.
The Coast Guard's Direct Commission Officer course is administered by Officer Candidate School. Depending on the specific program and background of the individual, the course is three, four or five weeks long. The first week of the five-week course is an indoctrination week. The DCO program is designed to commission officers with highly specialized professional training or certain kinds of previous military experience. For example, lawyers entering as JAGs, doctors, engineers, intelligence officers, and others can earn commissions through the DCO program. (Chaplains are provided to the Coast Guard by the US Navy.)
The College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI) is a scholarship program for college sophomores. This program provides students with valuable leadership, management, law enforcement, navigation and marine science skills and training. It also provides full payment of school tuition, fees, textbooks, a salary, medical insurance and other benefits during a student's junior and senior year of college. The CSPI program guarantees training at Officer Candidate School (OCS) upon successful completion of all program requirements. Each student is expected to complete his/her degree and all Coast Guard training requirements. Following the completion of OCS and commission as a Coast Guard officer, each student will be required to serve on active duty (full time) as an officer for 3 years.
Benefits: Full tuition, books and fees paid for two years, monthly salary of approximately $2,000, medical and life insurance, 30 days paid vacation per year, leadership training.
The current nine Recruit Training Objectives are:
Following graduation, most members are sent to their first unit while they await orders to attend advanced training in Class "A" Schools, in their chosen rating, the naval term for Navy Enlisted Code (NEC). Members who earned high ASVAB scores or who were otherwise guaranteed an "A" School of choice while enlisting can go directly to their "A" School upon graduation from Boot Camp.
The Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy is located at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Charleston, South Carolina, following relocation and merger of the former Law Enforcement School at Yorktown, Virginia, and the former Boarding Team Member School at Petaluma, California.
The Academy presents five courses:
Training ranges from criminal law and the use of force to boarding team member certification to the use of radiation detection equipment. Much of the training is live, using handguns with laser inserts or firing non-lethal rounds.
Petty officers follow career development paths very similar to those of US Navy petty officers.
Enlisted Coast Guard members who have reached the pay grade of E-7, or Chief Petty Officer, must attend the U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Academy at Training Center Petaluma in Petaluma, California, or an equivalent Department of Defense school, in order to be advanced to pay grade E-8. United States Air Force master sergeants, as well as international students representing their respective maritime services, are also eligible to attend the Academy. The basic themes of this school are:

The Coast Guard Ensign (flag) was first flown by the Revenue Cutter Service in 1799 to distinguish revenue cutters from merchant ships. The order stated the Ensign would be "16 perpendicular stripes, alternate red and white, the union of the ensign to be the arms of the United States in a dark blue on a white field." (There were 16 states in the United States at the time).
The purpose of the flag is to allow ship captains to easily recognize those vessels having legal authority to stop and board them. This flag is flown only as a symbol of law enforcement authority and is never carried as a parade standard. See
The Coast Guard Standard is used in parades and carries the battle honors of the U.S. Coast Guard. It was derived from the jack of the Coast Guard ensign which used to fly from the stern of revenue cutters. The emblem is a blue eagle from the coat of arms of the United States on a white field. Above the eagle are the words "UNITED STATES COAST GUARD;" below the eagle is the motto, "SEMPER PARATUS" and the inscription "1790."
The Racing Stripe was designed in 1964 by the industrial design office of Raymond Loewy Associates to give the Coast Guard a distinctive, modern image and was first used in 1967. The symbol is a narrow blue bar, a narrow white stripe between, and a broad red bar with the Coast Guard shield centered. The stripes are canted at a 64 degree angle, coincidentally the year the Racing Stripe was designed. The Stripe has been adopted for the use of other coast guards, such as the Canadian Coast Guard, the Italian Guardia Costiera, the Indian Coast Guard, the German Federal Coast Guard, and the Australian Customs Service. Auxiliary vessels maintained by the Coast Guard also carry the Stripe in inverted colors.
The Coast Guard carries out five basic roles, which are further subdivided into eleven statutory missions. The five roles are:
The eleven statutory missions, found in section 888 of the Homeland Security Act are:
The OMEGA navigation system and the LORAN-C transmitters outside the USA were also run by the United States Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard Omega Stations at Lamoure, North Dakota and Kāne'ohe, Hawai'i (Oahu) were both formally decommissioned and shut down on September 30, 1997.
In 1972, the current Coast Guard dress blue uniform was introduced for wear by both officers and enlisted personnel; the transition was completed during 1974. (Previously, a U.S. Navy-style uniform with Coast Guard insignia was worn.) Relatively similar in appearance to the old-style U.S. Air Force uniforms, the uniform consists of a blue four-pocket single breasted jacket and trousers in a slightly darker shade. A light-blue button-up shirt with a pointed collar, two front button-flap pockets, "enhanced" shoulder boards for officers, and pin-on collar insignia for Chief Petty Officers and enlisted personnel is worn when in shirt-sleeve order (known as "Tropical Blue Long"). It is similar to the World War II-era uniforms worn by Coast Guard Surfmen. Officer rank insignia parallels that of the U.S. Navy but with the gold Navy "line" star being replaced with the gold Coast Guard Shield and with the Navy blue background color replaced by Coast Guard blue. Enlisted rank insignia is also similar to the Navy with the Coast Guard shield replacing the eagle on collar and cap devices. Group Rate marks (stripes) for junior enlisted members (E-3 and below) also follow U. S. Navy convention with white for seaman, red for fireman, and green for airman. In a departure from the U. S. Navy conventions, all Petty Officers E-6 and below wear red chevrons and all Chief Petty Officers wear gold. Unlike the US Navy, officers and CPO's do not wear khaki; all personnel wear the same color uniform. See USCG Uniform Regulations for current regulations.
Coast Guard officers also have a white dress uniform, typically used for formal parade and change-of-command ceremonies. Chief Petty Officers, Petty Officers, and enlisted rates wear the standard Service Dress Blue uniform for all such ceremonies, except with a white shirt (replacing the standard light-blue). A white belt may be worn for honor guards. A mess dress uniform is worn by members for formal (black tie) evening ceremonies.
The current working uniform of a majority of Coast Guard members is the Operational Dress Uniform (ODU). The ODU is similar to the Battle Dress Uniform of other armed services, both in function and style. However, the ODU is in a solid dark blue with no camouflage patterns and does not have lower pockets on the blouse. The ODU is worn with steel-toed boots in most circumstances, but low-cut black or brown boat shoes may be prescribed for certain situations. The former dark blue working uniform has been withdrawn from use by the Coast Guard but may be worn by Auxiliarists until no longer serviceable. There is a second phase of Operational Dress Uniforms currently in the trial phases. This prototype resembles the current Battle Dress blouse, which is worn on the outside, rather than tucked in.
Coast Guard members serving in expeditionary combat units such as Port Security Units, Law Enforcement Detachments, and others, wear working operational uniforms that resemble Battle Dress uniforms, complete with "woodland" or "desert" camouflage colors. These units typically serve under, or with, the other armed services in combat theaters, necessitating similar uniforms.
Enlisted Coast Guardsmen wear the combination covers for full dress, a garrison cover for Class "B," wear, and a baseball-style cover either embroidered with "U.S. Coast Guard" in gold block lettering or the name of their ship, unit or station in gold, for the ODU uniform. Male and female company commanders (the Coast Guard equivalent of Marine Corps drill instructors) at Training Center Cape May wear the traditional "Smokey the Bear" campaign hat.
A 2006 issue of the Reservist magazine was devoted to a detailed and easy to understand graphical description of all the authorized uniforms.
Lack of coverage affects many areas with high maritime traffic. For example, local officials in Scituate, Massachusetts, have complained that there is no permanent Coast Guard station, and the presence of the Coast Guard in winter is vital. One reason for this lack of coverage is the relatively high cost of building storm-proof buildings on coastal property; the Cape Hatteras station was abandoned in 2005 after winter storms wiped out the sand dune serving as its protection from the ocean. Faced with these issues the Coast Guard has contracted with General Dynamics C4 System to provide a complete replacement of their 1970's era radio equipment. Rescue 21 is the United States Coast Guard's advanced command, control and communications system. Created to improve the ability to assist mariners in distress and save lives and property at sea, the system is currently being installed in stages across the United States. The nation's existing maritime search and rescue (SAR) communications system has been in operation since the early 1970s. Difficult to maintain, increasingly unreliable and prone to coverage gaps, this antiquated system no longer meets the safety needs of America's growing marine traffic. In addition, it is incapable of supporting the Coast Guard's new mission requirements for homeland security, which require close cooperation with Department of Defense agencies as well as federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. Modernizing this system enhances the safety and protection of America's waterways.
Lack of strength to meet its assigned missions is being met by a legislated increase in authorized strength from 39,000 to 45,000. In addition, the volunteer Auxiliary is being called to take up more non-combatant missions. However, volunteer coverage does have limits.
Aging vessels are another problem, with the Coast Guard still operating some of the oldest naval vessels in the world. In 2005, the Coast Guard terminated contracts to upgrade the 110-foot (33.5 m) Island Class Cutters to 123-foot (37.5 m) cutters because of warping and distortion of the hulls. In late 2006, Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant of the Coast Guard, decommissioned all eight cutters due to dangerous conditions created by the lengthening of the hull- to include compromised watertight integrity. The Coast Guard has, as a result of the failed conversion, revised production schedules for the Fast Response Cutter (FRC). Of the navies and coast guards of the world's 40 largest navies, the U.S. Coast Guard's is the 38th oldest.
Live fire exercises by Coast Guard boat and cutter crews in the U.S. waters of the Great Lakes attracted attention in the U.S. and Canada. The Coast Guard had proposed the establishment of 34 locations around the Great Lakes where live fire training using vessel-mounted machine guns were to be conducted periodically throughout the year. The Coast Guard said that these exercises are a critical part of proper crew training in support of the service's multiple missions on the Great Lakes, including law enforcement and anti-terrorism. Those that raised concerns about the firing exercises commented about safety concerns and that the impact on commercial shipping, tourism, recreational boating and the environment may be greater than what the Coast Guard had stated. The Coast Guard took public comment and conducted a series of nine public meetings on this issue. After receiving more than 1,000 comments, mostly opposing the Coast Guard's plan, the Coast Guard announced that they were withdrawing their proposal for target practice on the Great Lakes, although a revised proposal may be made in the future.
The Deployable Operations Group is a recently formed Coast Guard command. The DOG brings numerous existing deployable law enforcement, tactical and response units under a single command headed by a rear admiral. The planning for such a unit began after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and culminated with its formation on July 20th, 2007. The unit will contain several hundred highly trained Coast Guardsmen. Its missions will include maritime law enforcement, anti-terrorism, port security, and pollution response. It will include the world famous National Strike Force. Full operational capability is planned by summer 2008.
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard, established on June 23, 1939. It works within the Coast Guard in carrying out its noncombatant and non-law enforcement missions. As of November 18, 2007 there were 30,074 active Auxiliarists. The Coast Guard has assigned primary responsibility for most recreational boating safety tasks to the Auxiliary, including public boating safety education and voluntary vessel safety checks. In recent history prior to 1997, Auxiliarists were limited to those tasks and on-water patrols supporting recreational boating safety.
In 1997, however, new legislation authorized the Auxiliary to participate in any and all Coast Guard missions except military combat and law enforcement. 33 CFR 5.31 states that: Members of the Auxiliary, when assigned to specific duties shall, unless otherwise limited by the Commandant, be vested with the same power and authority, in execution of such duties, as members of the regular Coast Guard assigned to similar duties.
Auxiliarists may support the law enforcement mission of the Coast Guard but do not directly participate in it. Auxiliarists and their vessels are not allowed to carry any weapons while serving in any Auxiliary capacity; however, they may serve as scouts, alerting regular Coast Guard units. Auxiliarists use their own vessels (i.e., boats, yachts) and aircraft, in carrying out Coast Guard missions, or apply specialized skills such as Web page design or radio watchstanding to assist the Coast Guard. When appropriately trained and qualified, they may serve upon Coast Guard vessels.
Auxiliarists undergo one of several levels of background check. For most duties, including those related to recreational boating safety, a simple identity check is sufficient. For some duties in which an Auxiliarist provides direct augmentation of Coast Guard forces, such as tasks related to port security, a more in-depth background check is required. Occasionally an Auxiliarist will need to obtain a security clearance through the Coast Guard in order to have access to classified information in the course of assigned tasking.
The basic unit of the Auxiliary is the Flotilla, which has at least 10 members and may have as many as 100. Five Flotillas in a geographical area form a Division. There are several divisions in each Coast Guard District. The Auxiliary has a leadership and management structure of elected officers, including Flotilla Commanders, Division Captains, and District Commodores, Atlantic and Pacific Area Commodores, and a national Commodore. However, legally, each Auxiliarist has the same 'rank', Auxiliarist.
In 2005, the Coast Guard transitioned to a geographical Sector organization. Correspondingly, a position of 'Sector Auxiliary Coordinator' was established. The Sector Auxiliary Coordinator is responsible for service by Auxiliarists directly to a Sector, including augmentation of Coast Guard Active Duty and Reserve forces when requested. Such augmentation is also referred to as force multiplication.
Auxiliarists wear the similar uniforms as Coast Guard officers with modified officers' insignia based on their office: the stripes on uniforms are silver, and metal insignia bear a red or blue "A" in the center. Unlike their counterparts in the Civil Air Patrol, Auxiliarists come under direct orders of the Coast Guard.
The United States Coast Guard Reserve is the military reserve force of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard Reserve was founded on February 19, 1941. Coast Guard reservists normally drill two days a month and an additional 12 days of Active Duty for Training each year. Coast Guard reservists possess the same training and qualifications as their active duty counterparts, and as such, can be found augmenting active duty Coast Guard units every day.
During the Vietnam War and shortly thereafter, the Coast Guard considered abandoning the Reserve program, but the force was instead reoriented into force augmentation, where its principal focus was not just reserve operations, but to add to the readiness and mission execution of every day active duty personnel.
Since September 11, 2001, over 8,500 Reservists have been activated and served on tours of active duty. Coast Guard Port Security Units are entirely staffed with Reservists, except for five to seven active duty personnel. Additionally, most of the staffing the Coast Guard provides to Naval Coastal Warfare units are reservists.
The Reserve is managed by the Director of Reserve and Training, RDML Daniel R. May.
One Coast Guardsman, Douglas Albert Munro, has earned the Medal of Honor, the highest military award of the United States.
Six Coast Guardsmen have earned the Navy Cross and numerous men and women have earned the Distinguished Flying Cross.
The highest peacetime decoration awarded within the Coast Guard is the Homeland Security Distinguished Service Medal; prior to the transfer of the Coast Guard to the Department of Homeland Security, the highest peacetime decoration was the Department of Transportation Distinguished Service Medal. The highest unit award available is the Presidential Unit Citation.
In wartime, members of the Coast Guard are eligible to receive the U.S. Navy version of the Medal of Honor. A Coast Guard Medal of Honor is authorized but has not yet been developed or issued.
In May 2006, at the Change of Command ceremony when Admiral Thad Allen took over as Commandant, President George W. Bush awarded the entire Coast Guard, including the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Coast Guard Presidential Unit Citation with hurricane device, for its efforts after Hurricane Katrina.
Membership Types: Academy graduates and those who have attended the Academy are eligible for Regular membership; all others interested in the Academy and its Corps of Cadets are eligible for Associate membership. (Website)
Coast Guard, COMDTPUB P5720.2, is the regular publication for Coast Guardsmen.
