there really is no rational alternative . If that risk versus gain analysis was not a sufficient basis to postpone the event , the problems with air travel that have been making headlines over the past weeks are expected to continue through January . Moreover , services at the event hotel have been substantially reduced and many of the nearby restaurants that we have traditionally used for our group and individual dining are either closed or operating at severely reduced capacity . Finally , the Coast Guard directed that all travel planned for January is to be curtailed except for “ critical missions .” N Train is important , more so than ever , but it is not so critical that the health of our members must be put at risk .
We know from recent polling that if we were to go forward in January many of our members who are scheduled to attend would choose not be present to take advantage of the training and networking opportunities . That result would substantially diminish the return on our enormous investment of time , energy , and financial resources . We need fullscale member participation for N Train to be effective , successful , and worth the effort .
The plan now is to have the rescheduled event include the events presently scheduled , but simply at a later date . We are working on rescheduling the C-Schools and will keep you up to date as information becomes available .
Stay safe , stay healthy and stay Semper Paratus .
Respectfully , Alex Malewski , National Commodore

Auxiliary Online Classroom ( Moodle ). After the change , members will need to set up new login credentials , using their member number as their username and creating a new password according to the criteria displayed on the sign-up page .
When accessing the Moodle system , members will see a new login button " Sign up / in with USCGAUX ":
After clicking on that button users will be taken through the process to create their credentials for the first time . The “ Sign In ” login method should be used for subsequent access to the Online Classroom . Other Auxiliary systems will transition to the new authentication process in the future . For now , the legacy login mechanism will remain in place until they are transitioned over . Advance notice will be given before that happens .
If you have issues with your credential setup or the login process , submit a help desk ticket at
