As the calendar year winds down CG-3PCX is keenly aware of the challenges placed on all Auxiliary units to create year-end reports. At this point last year, many units overloaded the AUXDATA servers and made it challenging to obtain reports. The AUXDATA workgroup has created a set of best practices to assist all units at this time of year: * Utilize AUXINFO to obtain all information regarding personal hours and awards. For information on using AUXINFO, go to the "How To" library at http://home.auxidept.org/howto.htm * Do not run Unit Summary Reports. OSC will run them for you and send out an excel sheet with everyone's unit information. CG-3PCX will post this information on the Chief Director's webpage shortly after the New Year.
* If a member needs specific information he or she can contact their unit's IS officer to determine the most efficient way of obtaining it. back to TOP Online Ordering Now Available from the Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) The Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) is pleased to announce the opening of the online web store.

The previous agreement with MBNA-BOA for providing members an Auxiliary credit card has expired.
