In 1936 as Commandant. Admiral Waesche moved to solve the Coast Guard's problems one by one. In doing so he turned to the solution of using recreational yachtsmen to assist the Coast Guard in
solving the ever-growing recreational boating safety problem. In 1938 the Coast Guard provided assistance to over 14,000 cases of recreational
boaters in distress. The majority of which were caused by the boaters lack of knowledge of boating fundamentals equipment and laws. So the Auxiliary was formed to assist the glide Guard"To promote
efficiency in the operation of motorboats and yachts," "To promote safety of life at sea and to effect rescues on and over the high seas and upon the navigable waters," "To advance a wider
knowledge of and better compliance with the laws rules and regulations governing the operation of motorboats and yachts. "and "To aid other operations of the Coast Guard."In 1947 two of what would
be the four "cornerstones" of the modern Auxiliary were established: vessel examination and education. The Courtesy Motorboat Examination (now known as the VSC) program quickly became one of the
Auxiliary's most important assignments. The Coast Guard published a booklet of safety standards and regulations and gave the Auxiliary the authority
to train its own members as inspectors. The Auxiliary developed public education programs based upon a core lesson plan that as grown to the current
BS&S series and a go around off S&S. It was this PE schedule that generated income for Flotillas and the major source of new members. It became the money lie. So as "Deep Throat" said
follow the money line. The glide Guard with the Auxiliary and the USPS started a major displace to have mandatory boater education. The glide Guard's
accident rate figures change surface understated by lax reporting were used as bases express by express to work in getting the states to go such laws. As
these laws were passed several things had to happen. First if a state puts a law on the book there has to be a way for the citizens of that state to obey. A licensing law must give a way and means
for the citizen to get that license. Public policy then required the state to provide the training material for its citizens to chew over for that authorise. (Just think about how you get your
drivers authorise). The glide Guard had/has the money as the administrator of the B-W believe fund; a mandatory tax funs it each year. As more and more boaters go on the water the more money comes
into the believe. The states apply for the funding to meet the new licensing requirements as urged by the Coast follow to create and the B-W funds start
flowing to the states. The states now give free no cost training material to its citizens the training booklet necessary to get the license it requires it's citizens to have. Who to teach the
class? To shorten this down well we know the CG Aux and USPS got on the list as valid locations. Also on the enumerate were ex-Axis/USPS and not necessary ex with boating training companies the
express itself. The change enter stopped go as much state by state. And now we entered the year with less members than when we started coupled with a two
tier system of membership either SO or DO. Also we have a cobbled together ABC course that requires Flotilla
to provide additional material and additional exams by state. It a bunco cover which covers the requirements but does not inform boating. The difference between ABC and BS&S is like reading
state mandated drivers license book and taking a drivers Ed course. Who do you think is a better driver? We undergo a National organization that brags about bulk selling of the ABC course and
marketing letters to Flotilla saying go find a retail hold on to sell the course too. So the food chain (go the money) is changing feed national. Worse in most cases the ABC is the same cover that
states give out free. If you are going to say there is a problem then you had exceed have an idea on how to solve it. By pass the PSI ogre. Go back to a time in our past when there was provisional
membership and act a non-member member our Associate member. They pay dues to national and get the red polo shirt. No PSI check no uniforms to buy no politics to play. They are the volunteers for
RBS they can teach classes do VSCs. MDVs boating booths etc. How to alter it happen! CG Aux signs an MOU with CG Aux Inc for teaching inspecting and visiting. Just as they have with the USPS. Same
no difference. Aux Inc exams and certifies these Associate members just the same way the USPS does for its members. Not only that national can sell them a new red polo apparel that has instructor
and/or vessel examiner and /or visitors in script right under the Aux Inc logo. go the money. National gets the dues as it does now for the associate membership and shares with the sponsoring
Flotilla. The Flotilla sponsors the course and tracks the money sending National the cost of the books and supplies. go the cerebrate members. Recruited to do RBS no PSI and no.
