The Coast Guard element of the Joint Transportation Reserve Unit, U.S. Transportation Command, at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. is seeking chiefs to fill various current and projected billets. Active, Reserve and Auxiliary members are gearing up to assist at the upcoming Boy Scout National Jamboree, July 23-Aug. Va. Coast Guard personnel will work with the Scouts by instructing in rope and knot work, and proper usage of VHF Radio at the Sea Scout venue of the National Venturing Exhibit. Volunteers will be Merit Badge Counselors in environmental science, rowing, lifesaving, motor boating and small boat sailing at the Merit Badge Midway. CG Reservists are volunteering for duty, without pay, for one to two weeks.
Program management keeps an alternate list of attendees for both classes.
Members who are affected and planning to take the October 2001 Reserve SWE must have this requirement, and all other requirements, met by June 30, 2001. Attending and successfully completing the July Reserve class will not meet this requirement. Members who successfully complete the June 2001 Reserve Class 11 should make sure the proper code entries are made as soon as possible after graduation. Hundreds of Coast Guard Reservists have been involved with the program since the beginning. The SRDC selection board convenes April 23 at CGPC-rpm.
