Bravo
Zulu
There is a reason that Flotilla
10-13 is consistently awarded the Flotilla Meritorious Achievement
Award as the top flotilla in the Coast Guard's First District
Southern Region, and a reason that we were designated the
top flotilla in the nation in 2002 and again
in 2004 by Boat/U.S. We work as a team and are an
active part of Team Coast Guard, however, it is often the
exceptional efforts of individual members of that team that
make the difference between a good flotilla and a truly
OUTSTANDING flotilla.
This page will recognize those members as well as the
TEAM commendations, awards, and recognitions
they help us to achieve.
New
AUXOP
certifications. Certification at the AUXOP (Auxiliary
Operations Specialist) level takes dedication and many hours
of study and formal training and it is a proud day for any
Auxiliarist to achieve this designation. The Auxiliarist
must demonstrate proficiency and advanced skills in numerous
areas, by taking and passing 6 specialty courses.
10-13 already has more than our share of members
at this level (17 as of Dec 2006). Please congratulate and
welcome the following members to this elite club.
Bravo Zulu,
well done to:
Other
members who on their way to the prestigious AUXOP certification.
They have taken and passed the Specialty Training certification
courses indicated below. BZ, Congratulations to:

Return to Top
August 2008 -
You will notice that this particular page
of our web site is getting quite long, but it is really
only the tip of the iceberg as it only shows our awards
since 2006. To get a full sense of the well deserved
awards and kudos we have gotten over the years,
take a look at the 10-13 Awards listing in AUXDATA.
As of August 2008 it is showing a total of 800 awards
achieved by current active member. Even this figure
does not do justice to 10-13's accomplishments, as it
does not include the countless awards of those 10-13
members that have moved away, retired, or crossed the
bar. It does not even include ALL
the awards of all the current active members.
Many of our awards are not included on this page, for
instance the 16+ Flotilla Meritorious awards we have
gotten over the past 21 years or so are not reflected
for any of the active members. That number alone
would push our award count well over 1,000. Those
of you who have been with 10-13 for 15 years or more
may remember the old GAP awards (the green ribbons -
6 or 7 different awards if I remember correctly) are
also not included in AUXDATA.
Well Done and Bravo Zulu

Steve
Potts: Steve
has been certified by the gold side as a
Small Arms Range Safety
Officer, December
2005. In this role Steve will be involved in a relatively
new program that is still forming. He will be working
with Coast Guard weapons officers to help train the regular
and reserve Coast Guard men and women in improving their
small arms skills at the Station Sandy Hook firing range.
This is a great example of what we can do in support of
the Coast Guard using skills from our personal or professional
life not just the things we learn as Auxiliarists.
Steve is an active member of several fire arms and shooting
clubs, including the NRA (National Rifle Association), ANJRPC
(Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs), Single
Action shooting society, and NJ State federation of Sportsmen's
clubs. He is an NRA certified instructor and an NRA
Certified Range Safety Officer. Congratulations Steve!
