DTRAIN

US Coast Guard Auxiliary 5th Northern

District Training and Board Meeting

MOTIVATION for MEMBERS

I cannot change

Yesterday, but I

Can change today.

Let’s Get Motivated!

REGISTRATION AND INFORMATION

FALL 2016

#1. It is a FUN place to go every 6 months and hang around like-minded fellow Auxiliarists who are

the best at what they do. The dream team if you will, the most active members in the entire District

come together along with some gold side (USCG) to teach and spend time with you.

#2. A great motivational tool to keep you excited about things, to hear from active Coast Guard

Officers on why the Auxiliary is important.

#3. Good Training you need!! Train, Train, Train, Training is devotion to duty!

These Dtrains are not free for District either; we invest almost $15,000 in every Dtrain for you as a member benefit. Yes, it does cost you money as well, and that is the investment the Coast Guard

Auxiliary leadership appreciates, but we all do it as part of a team. THANK YOU!

…EVERY MEMBER FROM NEW APPLICATION to RETIREMENT!!!

…I AM TOLD that there is nothing at DTRAIN for me

to do? Whoever told you that haven't been to a DTRAIN recently and they do not have your best interest in mind, ask yourself what you want to do, do you want to do more?

DTRAIN is HELD every second weekend in MARCH and SEPTEMBER, PLAN AHEAD!

DEADLINE IS 29 AUG We Look Forward to Seeing YOU at 5NR D-TRAIN
