Welcome the the Northwest District Operations Page

DSO-OP Kenny Kent 

I see our job in the Coast Guard Auxiliary Surface Operations world as assisting the Coast Guard.  We do that by operating personal vessels that meet CG standards in a way that reflects the CG methods, by following the methods learned during our qualification process.  These standards are based a nationwide system of oversight and cooperation.

In addition to meeting the operating standards above, we provide real-life examples of “how it should be done” to the public.  To do this, we always:

• Recognize the honor we share in serving the country and our community 
• Wear our uniforms correctly (with pride)
• Respect each other and “the system” (in word and how we work)
• Are courteous (in word and how we operate)
• Are devoted to each other, the CG, and to the community - ready and willing to serve
• Help others (by showing and by doing)

The rest of this page is devoted to helping you – the men and women doing all those things.    If you have ideas of how I can make this page more useful, please contact me.

Lastly, as I learn my way around the AUX digital world, I have been shown a tool box that may help those of you who are interested in compiling end of year reports. It’s called the sector tool box, here is a link: https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=M-DEPT&category=mascot-1
