Source Criminal Conduct blog Who Is Steven James Nemec, Wannabe? article.

The Aux related events occured before his final capture.

quote:
Highlights from his phony cop career include:
-- Dressing in uniform against regulations as a volunteer with the Coast Guard Auxiliary.


quote:
He was jailed briefly in 1993 for violating the terms of that probation. Among other things, authorities learned he had joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which gave him a volunteer's uniform and badge. Nemec eventually left the auxiliary after Coast Guard officials raised questions about his use of official vehicles and radio equipment.

Less than a year later, he was in trouble again.


Since when did or does Auxies carry badges, the Aux doesn't need nor use no stink'n badges.

Maybe not badges, but some Auxies (not this one) do wear those stink'n boots!

The large cap device looks something like a "badge."



Or, better yet, the National Staff Badge:




And Ancora... Maybe the swat team look you often complain about will go away. That is, if Esquire Magazine has anything to say about it! Look at the sub-head right above the

on the cover of the magazine's latest issue...



Knowing how the Guard is, though, it will probably take a while and be preceded by many complaints suggestions from the AD folk. Beer

Time To Burn The Cargo Pants and Tuck In Your Shirt


Let's see - not so long ago the CG went to the ODU cargo pants and the Aux followed suit. Even more recently the CG switched or is switching to the untucked ODU shirt. And of course once that happens the Aux will drop trou and grab ankles and then play "monkey see, monkey do".

BTW - I wasn't so found of the ODU shirt, but I really liked the cargo pants. They are the only parts of the uni I didn't sell off on eBay.

Are you saying the ODU shirt may be worn outside the slacks?

Isn't that a dangerous thing? I remember catching my shirt in a flywheel belt once and my tie in a gear when ties were propper for CE's. Wow, bad news.

The untucked ODU shirt isn't here yet but it is coming. And it doesn't look like you just untuck the current shirt. Heavens to Betsy that would be the easy policy to implement. It looks like the CG is developing a brand new shirt just for the untucked variety.

For more info see:
ALCOAST 011/07: RESULTS OF UNIFORM BOARD NO. 41

quote:
D. THE REQUEST FOR AN UN-TUCKED VERSION ODU HAS BEEN HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR AND HAS BEEN APPROVED. THE CLOTHING DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE (CDTO) AND UNIFORM PROGRAM ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON A PROTOTYPE UNIFORM TO FULLY MEET U.S. COAST GUARD NEEDS. THIS INCLUDES INTRODUCTION OF A NEW FABRIC FOR THE ODU. THE FABRIC WILL HAVE ENHANCED OIL AND LUBRICANT RESISTANCE, COLORFASTNESS, AND WRINKLE RESISTANCE. THE UNTUCKED ODU WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO OUR UNIFORM INVENTORY ONCE FINAL DESIGN IS COMPLETE, SUFFICIENT INVENTORY IS ON HAND AND THE CURRENT ODU STOCK IS REDUCED TO A MORE MANAGEABLE LEVEL. THE CURRENT ODU IS A GENERAL PURPOSE UNIFORM INTENDED FOR WEAR WHERE A DRESS UNIFORM IS NOT REQUIRED. BECAUSE OF ITS INCREASING VERSATILITY, E.G., WEAR IN SOME OFFICE SETTINGS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE ODU PROJECTS A SHARP MILITARY APPEARANCE AT ALL TIMES. AS A RESULT, A SEPARATE ALCOAST WILL BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS ODU CARE AND WEAR POLICY.

ODU Fact Sheet

From the SitRep N-Train 2008 General Assembly coverage

quote:
News about the much-anticipated untucked ODU uniform were announced by Mr. Carol Brewton, Uniform Program Manager at the Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) in Woodbine, NJ. Mr. Brewton also demonstrated new features of the longer, improved trench coat. He anticipates the new ODU will be available near the end of 2008.


So in 2008 you get to spend your money replacing the ODU and in 2009 you get to spend your money replacing all your PFDs. Maybe in 2010 you'll get to spend your time and money doing a real mission and not replacing perfectly good equipment and uniforms - the replacements being necessry because the Aux just must play Monkey See, Monkey Do with the CG.

My two sets of ODU's from 2006 are about dead, but I guess I'll try and make them last til the new ones come out.

I'm sure there will be a wear in period for the new ODU's just like an Auxie could still wear working blues.

On the untucked ODU top, it works out quite well for those of us who are more "land" based...Smile

back to the article of the topic; that guy sounds like he's got some problems that would be better served with mental health treatment than with imprisonment... He's never been violent, but he clearly has some issues; I mean, even wannabes don't go appointing themselves "head of museum security" after a month of volunteering unless they have a screw loose...

Evidently, the uniform gurus aren’t talking to the operations folks. One side says that wearing things like rings and or a wrist watche is too dangerous because they can be snagged on machinery, and now the other side says to un-tuck our shirts? Are they stupid?

One side is overly paranoid on safety, and the other is oblivious to a common safety issue!

perhaps on a boat banning rings and watches is a bit overboard... but you'd never see me wearing a ring on a ship; that thing is staying locked up. You'd be amazed how many things on a ship can sever your finger by snagging your ring; even those watertight doors can do it!

Course, I'd keep my wedding ring at home when going on any ops, be they on a boat or a ship; I do NOT want to have to explain to my wife how my ring ended up at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay!

This can happen on smallboats too, not just ships.

Re: the poster, I found this tid bit about the ring on the middle finger interesting:

quote:
The Middle Finger: Identity

The second finger is the identity finger. This is the finger most often used in obscene gesturing when one wishes to express an offense to personal dignity. This seems to be the finger with the most strength and balance, rooted firmly in the center of the hand. It is associated with our role in life, practicality, and the regulation of the foundations and limits of self. This finger announces "I am" and governs the way we see ourselves, our potentials, and our limitations.

To somehow bind this finger adds to those innate restrictions and announces a definite confusion or disappointment with the sense of identity and role in life. Perhaps it is quite natural for this to be the finger most commonly used in obscene gestures; it seems to be the one that imposes the most stress of its own so that it, in turn, becomes the one a person uses to release stress whenever the ego is threatened. Any person who consistently displays this finger in anger is revealing a threat to the ego that is somehow a constant one yet is often self-imposed.

A ring on this finger can announce that the person is unsure of personal roles or a place in society. Many times you will find a person linking the tip of the third finger with the tip of the thumb. This is a direct effort to enhance willpower with the support of total ego. It will be difficult to convince this person of any new concepts or to win any verbal or strategic confrontation.

When this finger is marred, hidden or badly damaged, the person could probably use some help in establishing a secure identity and confidence in present social or business roles. It should also be noted that this finger will take on added significance as a person grows older; a young child is naturally concerned about who he or she is, while an older person might be caught up in unnecessary worry over a mundane professional role being an indication of worth as a human being. . .

(Emphasis Added)
