 ALCOAST 117/10 we’re given the process for submitting topics and issues that you think should be brought before the board. Though I’ve never submitted items to the RPB myself I’ve assisted in drafting a memo for a considered issue- it was enlightening to say the least. If you have an issue that is or may be a problem for the entire Coast Guard Reserved force I encourage you to read Continue reading…  The world of General Mandated Training (GMT) Mandated Training (MT) can be a dizzying foray of information to have to process.
