Purchasing Uniform and Other Items There are three places where you can go to purchase items: Any USCG exchange (Base Elizabeth City has one and a very large one in Chesapeake). Secondly, the US Coast Guard Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) is the place to go for uniform items that the Auxiliary shares with the active duty forces. Finally, the Auxiliary Center, located in St. Louis sells items made specifically for the Auxiliary. If you are looking for something it's best to check all three of these sources and the prices can differ greatly.

Website Instructions
A while back, The Coast Guard Auxiliary developed a very easy to use website system called WOW. Items (pages and content) are unprotected (the general public can view) or protected (can only be viewed by members that have logged on). If you have not yet registered, a page will appear with instructions on how to do so. Our website contains some information that, by regulation and law, can't be viewed by the general public. One example would be personal names and phone numbers.
The first thing you need to do is log on with your member number and password. US Government guidelines suggest that passwords be changed at least quarterly and contain the following: Uppercase letter, Lowercase letter, Numbers, Special Character (!@#$% etc)
On the left side of our website homepage there are a number of menu items. Click on them to open specific pages.
Our goal is to make this website our primary source of information for flotilla activities. Flotilla Staff Officers responsible for specific missions will have their own page to highlight what is going on in their areas.
This website is maintained by the Flotilla Communications Services Officer under oversight of the Flotilla Vice Commander. Please contact our FSO-CS for recommendations and changes.
