1. During the past few months, close coordination between Auxiliarist Wayne Spivak (aka - CHDIRAUX web master), the Coast Guard Operations System Center (OSC) in Martinsburg, WV, and the Office of the Chief Director has resulted in the establishment of a new Chief Director web site. The new site projects a new image consistent with the Coast Guard's public web site along with improved information security and sustained functionality.

2. This new web site can be found at: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg3/cg3pcx It will run in parallel with the "old" web site (http://www.cgaux.info/g_ocx/) for the next 30 days. During this time, the old web site will remain accessible, but will only be updated with ALAUX and ALCOAST messages. At the end of the 30 day period, the old web site will be terminated and the new web site will stand alone.

3. The Chief Director web site will remain flexible to best meet the needs of those concerned with the Auxiliary program. Your comments and suggestions through the web site's "Contact Us" function are most welcomed.  The Office of Auxiliary extends it utmost respect and gratitude to the many Auxiliarists who helped create, establish, and maintain the diverse portions of its web sites over the years, and looks forward to continued cooperative efforts to serve the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We are equally grateful to OSC Martinsburg for its guidance and assistance in the launch and institutionalization of this new site.
