After you are sworn in and receive your member number, you should set up your MEMBER ZONE PASSWORD,  set up your AUXOFFICER profile and download the app for FORM 7029.

Member Zone Password  Sign up for Password

Have the following information ready, and click the "Sign up for Password" link below:

• Your Auxiliary "employee ID" (7-digit Member Number)
• Your primary email address, as entered in AuxData.

You must have immediate access to your primary email account to receive a validation letter to which you must respond within 15 minutes. If you don't receive the validation email immediately, ask a shipmate who already has access to AuxDirectory/AuxOfficer to check your email address for you. If it is wrong in AuxOfficer, then it is wrong in AuxData, and both must be correct to issue you a Member Zone password.

Remember: this will be your new universal Member Zone password for Auxiliary national – and most local – applications.

AuxDirectory/AuxOfficer Profile   Sign up for AuxDirectory/AuxOfficer
