Agree. But how about doing ordinary safety patrols? I am not talking about
entering restricted channels where military ships or secrets might be, and I am
not talking about entering channels or buildings where nuclear power plants are
located. Just ordinary patrols!

and what is an 'ordinary' safety patrol? what if we are on patrol and
an incident happens? do we bow out, saying that we ONLY volunteered
for the regatta/yacht club aspects of the auxiliary, and that, when
our nation needs us, it can go to hell?

My auxiliarist friend was ordered to cut his hair if he was to attend an
auxiliarist seminar at the Coast Guard Academy. Otherwise, he was told he would
not be welcomed to walk around the campus in uniform with the cadets.

no, he wasnt told to cut his hair. there's no one in the auxiliary
with the authority to do that. sorry.
