With respect to criminal history, Page 2 of the enrollment application states what
criminal history documents are required to be submitted with the application. Under no
circumstances will an enrollment application be denied based on criminal history. A
criminal conviction does not automatically disqualify one from enrollment. That
decision rests with the U.S. Coast Guard’s Director of Auxiliary.
CAN HR/FC OFFICERS
REFUSE TO PROCESS
AN APPLICATION
FROM AN APPLICANT
THAT HAS
COMMITTED A
FELONY??????
This is the procedure to follow if an applicant has a criminal past:
 Past criminal history
o All felony convictions and all major misdemeanor convictions must be disclosed at the
time of enrollment. This includes military courts-martial.
o Submit official court documents detailing Initial charges and final disposition for each
arrest, charges and/or indictments.
o Submit a letter or memo addressed to the Commander, 7th Coast Guard District
(dpa), for each arrest case with the following information:


Per DIRAUX 7 Office, if
someone sends in an
application with criminal
history information in a
sealed envelope, it is to
remain sealed with the
application. We are no
longer authorized to review
the information if it is
sealed. If it is not sealed,
then review it. However,
they must be told it can be
sealed.
Date and time of arrest
City and state of arrest
Arresting agency
Initial charges and degree (Indicate whether or not the initial charge
was a felony or misdemeanor)
Details of each incident leading up the arrest, including mitigating
circumstances or supporting details post arrest, including final
charges and disposition.
Pending criminal court action or judicial procedure
o Follow the procedure listed on page 2 of the enrollment application.
Non-criminal traffic infractions are not included in criminal history. Although the
enrollment application instructions state that this information is mandatory for
“convictions,” if an applicant has issues in their past, such as arrests with no
convictions, it may be wise to disclose them with a letter of explanation attached to the
application. The Security Center (SECCEN) and/or the Director will ultimately require an
explanation. Failure to disclose this information at the time of enrollment will only delay
the processing. Intentionally failing to disclose required criminal history information will
be grounds for disenrollment.
Applicants, other than putting a check mark on "convictions” on Page 2, Section VII of
the enrollment application, are not required to disclose criminal history specifics to
flotilla personnel if they choose not to. This information can be placed in a sealed
envelope attached to the enrollment application for submission to the division security
officer (DDSL). The DDSL’s (Director’s Division Security Liaison) are the only Auxiliary
personnel in District 7 authorized to review this information. Each DDSL has on file a
Non-Disclosure Agreement with the director's office. The DDSL is required to review this
information to ascertain if all the required criminal court documents are attached to the
enrollment application.

Mandated training. What comes to mind when you hear those words? Probably a large variety of responses. Now pair "mandated
training" with "volunteer organization" and imagine the responses!
Yes, the Coast Guard Auxiliary is a volunteer organization, and yes, we do have some mandated training. As a uniformed volunteer
group we represent the Coast Guard, and in the public eye are often thought of as one and the same. Therefore the Coast Guard
wants us to have the same type of training and instruction as their active military members. Thus: mandated training!
