On 18, 20 and 21 August, Flotilla 12-08 Auxiliary facility Honey Girl was used
at a tow platform to search for the Revenue Cutter Hamilton that sank off of Folly
Beach, South Carolina in 1853. Richard Daniel has an article and photographs that
are featured on pages six and seven. The following organizations took part in the
search:
USCG Regional Dive Locker West
South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology
US Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 12-08

Vidal Rodriguez and Alexandra LaRiviere are in the process of transferring out
of 12-8. We thank them for their service to the Auxiliary, and wish them all the
best. Also, we would like to welcome Nathaniel J. Little to our Flotilla. Nathaniel is
still in the process of transferring into 12-8. Welcome Aboard Nathaniel!!
Richard R.Clarke has decided to retire from the Auxiliary. He has given 22
years of service to the organization, and we would like to thank him for his service
to the Auxiliary and to Flotilla 12-8.

Aids-to-Navigation (A/TON) patrols have been one of the most rewarding missions
I have had the pleasure to participate in with the Auxiliary. It is hard work, and it
provides a valuable service to the recreational boating community.
As Auxiliarists, we are not competing with the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR), the US Power Squadron, Tow BoatUS, or any other organization. We are a
force multiplier for the United States Coast Guard. ATON patrols will help inform the
Coast Guard about navigation hazards, discrepancies, and updates on the status of
markers. Ensuring that navigation markers are in proper working order is a tool which
is indispensable in the promotion of boating safety. This is work that saves lives.
The only requirement to participate in an ATON patrol is that you come in proper
ODU, bring a life jacket, whistle, signal mirror and light. Please feel free to contact me
if youre interested in participating in the ATON program.

Coast Guard
Trivia
Did you know that
world-famous golfer
Arnold Palmer was
once a Coast Guard
Yeoman?
Born in Youngstown, Pennsylvania, Arnold Palmer
started playing golf at the age of 3. In 1947 he entered
Wake Forest University. Three years later, he enlisted in
the Coast Guard as a Yeoman and continued to serve
until 1953.
Though a Yeoman, Palmer continued to play golf
during his time of service. He returned to Wake Forest
and in 1954 he won the U.S. Amateur Championship.
His professional playing garnered him four Masters
Championships, 1958, 1960, 1962, 1964, the 1960 U.S.
Open and the 1961 and 62 British Open. He also won
the 1981 and 1982 U.S. Senior Open.
In total he had over 92 victories and was the PGA
Player of the year in 1960 and 1962. Arnold Palmer was
also the first golfer to earn over one million dollars in
prize tournament money. Today, he is respected by
many not only as a world-famous golfer and sportsman,
but also a highly successful business executive, skilled
aviator, talented golf course designer and devoted
family man.

Historical September Events
2001: Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial U.S. aircraft, crashing two into the World Trade Center in New
York and one into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth aircraft crashed around Shanksville, Pennsylvania,
when passengers on board tried to regain control of the aircraft from the terrorists. The attacks killed over 3,000
innocent civilians. Coast Guard units, including Reservists and Auxiliarists, were among the first military units to
respond in order to provide communications, security, evacuation by water and render assistance to those in need.
Coast Guardsmen assisted in the search and rescue efforts as well as the cleanup operations after the attacks.
FLOTI LLA CALENDAR

Last month, Flotilla 12-8 was given a wonderful
opportunity of putting into practice what we have
learned. The week of 18 August was devoted to
hosting a highly skilled team from the South
Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology
(SCIAA) and USCG Regional Dive Locker West in
search of the sunken US Revenue Cutter Hamilton
(forerunner of the USCG). The wood hull sailing
ship was lost in a gale offshore from Folly Island in
the 1800s. Our Auxiliary provided a Facility and
experienced crew to aid in this search. USCG Station
Charleston hosted one offshore search day while
Flotilla 12-8 hosted three offshore search days.
This exercise put to use all the training we have had
in the past, and applied it to this search mission.
Seldom do we get to search for anything other that a
practice MOB or factious boat. Normally a sector
search pattern or an expending square is used in our
local waters. This offshore search used a parallel
search using sophisticated electronic devices and
equipment. The equipment demanded a search
pattern with very tight legs and spacing. Our facility
provided everything the team needed.
Station was kind enough to let us moor at the
small boat dock to cut travel time. This gave the
entire team wonderful exposure. This showcased the
capability and skills that we as Auxiliarists can offer
to Station Charleston. The active duty divers and
SCIAA scientist were very knowledgeable,
professional, skilled and friendly.
On this page, and the following, are a few
pictures of the equipment, search area, the actual
search pattern, the ocean bottom and a possible
target. But Just as important, our TEAM ONE
picture (shown on the following page). All aspects of
the mission went very well, enjoyed by all and
hopefully active duty will put our learning and skills
to good use in future missions.

Member Training
Never Stop Learning
Richard Daniel, FSO-MT
August was a busy month
for member training. We
shifted our focus toward
the New Crew candidates
that did not get their QE yet. We had a training patrol
for those folks able to attend with anchoring, search
patterns and helm time along with line handling.
The candidates must get their ICS courses completed
and books completely signed off.
We never stop learning. Never was this more
evident than the week of 18 Aug, 20 AUG and 21
AUG. Our experienced Coxswain and Crew put to
use all our training when we conducted an off shore
search for the sunken Revenue Cutter Hamilton off
shore. We worked with the west coast Coast Guard
divers and the South Carolina Marine Reach Institute
in the search. Electronic equipment was fully utilized
as we ran a parallel search pattern. All seamanship
and GPS skills were put to work. Learning never
stops was clearly demonstrated as applied in this
mission.
We continue to train and apply our skills in SEP
as we conduct an ATON Patrol up the Cooper River.
We encourage all Aid Verifiers and members that
want to be an Aid Verifier to contact Dwaine Harris
to take part.
Congratulations to Chuck Chirila for passing
another AUXOP course, AUXCOM. Chuck
is clicking off the required courses to become join
our AUXOP Corps of 12-8. Please join Chuck in
taking these worthwhile courses. Don't let Chuck be
alone on this. Let me know if you would like to
expand your learning opportunity and I will help you
along.
Operations
Joe Fleming, FSO-OP
Operations are going good. Training new boat
crew has all of us working together as a team. We
have four more trainees working on getting ready for
QE in September, so boat crew needing time on the
water for the year need to get on board. OPSFACS re
certifications are running slow as normal. OTO has
all the paper work waiting for a signature.
Program Visitation
Peter Axiotis, FSO-PV
As labor day fast approaches we must be
constantly aware of our surroundings. Now I will
admit I have a total two visit this year which is
below the required number to keep my quails up but
I will get those other two visit in soon and send this
challenge out to the rest of the visitors. Let's see if as
a whole we can meet the goal that I set awhile ago of
at least 100 visits or your four monthly visits to
maintain your quals.
Also, as Labor Day is often considered the
unofficial end to the boating season, we must
continue our mission of promoting recreational
boating safety by passing out educational material to
marinas and dealerships

Finance
Frank Leister, FSO-FN
Its that time of the year, time to pay annual dues.
In August, the membership received an e-mail
invoicing each with the 2015 dues. A few have paid
the $45 already. The remaining members have yet to
send in their checks. Please do so promptly. Send a
check for $45, made out to USCGAUX Flotilla 12-8
and mail it to:
Frank Leister, FSO-FN
PO Box 122
Jonas Ridge, NC 28641.
It is always good to remember, that paying dues
is one of the few conditions of membership. Should
you have questions, call me at 843-991-1118 or
email at fcl@lwinslow.com. I look forward to getting
your dues.
Vessel Examinations
Alan Miles, FSO-VE
This month we will continue to
inspect vessels at local boat
landings. If any new members
desire to become qualified as a
Vessel Examiner, the process is very simple and fast.
You must complete five vessel safety inspections
under the instruction of a qualified examiner, as well
as complete an online course and test.
Both of these can be accomplished in just one
weekend. If your interested, please contact me so I
can arrange for you to train with an examiner. You
will find the process quick and easy, and the job to
be very rewarding.
Information Systems
William Carter, FSO-IS
As we approach the end of the
boating season, as well as the
end of 2014, I would like to
remind everyone to double-check
their paperwork to make sure everything has been
turned in. You want to make sure that you receive
credit for the hours youve put in for the year. Our
Flotilla has done a spectacular job this year as we
have exceeded 6,000 hours.
Also, we have members who have not yet
completed their required workshops. In particular,
this would include the One-Hour TCT and the
Sexual Harassment Workshop. Later this month, you
will receive an email regarding your status on the
required workshops and whether you are still in need
of vessel safety checks, program visits, and other
requirements to maintain qualifications. I want to
make sure that as we transition from 2014 to 2015
that we dont have members go into REYR status.
Please see the link below which contains the
most up-to-date information from AUXDATA.
