Why only 2 Seamanship Manuals for each Flotilla?
This is the same manual used by the Coast Guard and is intended to be a “resource” to be shared. Auxiliarists are only required to know the information applicable to our program, and therefore the entire contents of the manual is deemed to be unnecessary for all trainees to have. Also, the role of the mentor is to work closely with the candidates to “train them”, providing photocopies of applicable pages to trainees where reinforcement of the information is needed.
