CHANGELOG:

25/OCT/2024 – Ken Whitfield – Changed statement 4. Under both “Basic requirements to apply:” and “What can get you ejected from the group:” in order to make them clearer and more precise. Removed the “Retirement” section as it does not apply to admission to the group. Re-wrote the “False Claims of real-life Military Service/Awards section to bring it up to current standards.

10/22/24 - SC - Changed membership requirements to 1 "water" patrol per week, removing (aviation, aircraft, or deckwatch), as patrol policy itself mandates the first patrol of the week must be by water. See RADM Cukor's post at https://slcoastguard.org/forums/viewtop ... 51&t=43675
