A special note for Team Coast Guard

A version of NavRules for Windows that can be freely distributed within the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Reserves, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and other similar organizations is also available. NavRules is currently in use in many Coast Guard stations and Auxiliary flotillas from Boston to Alaska to Guam! This version is functionally identical to the shareware version but displays the Auxiliary Ensign and contains a notice that it is for use only within these organizations and similar organizations in other countries. 

This version of NavRules is free, however tokens of appreciation are always welcome.

To receive this special version of NavRules:

Contact members of local units to see if they aleady have it!

Register the shareware version of NavRules and identify your unit on the registration form!

Mail a diskette, a self addressed diskette mailer, and enough return postage to the authors home address!

Thanks to the kindness of a growing number of people I also have a small and growing collection of hats from various units that have sent them to me as a token of thanks for making NavRules available.  If you'd like to add to the collection I would be more than happy to hear from you.  So far the collection includes:

• USCG Station Woods Hole
• USCG Integrated Support Command Alameda
• USCG Station Honolulu
• USCG Group Astoria
• USCG Cutter KISKA, Hilo, HI
  
• USCG MSO/Group Philadelphia
• USCG Barque Eagle
  
  
• USCG Station Boston
  
  
• USCG Forces, Sail Boston 1992
  
  
• USS CONSTITUTION
  
  
• USS KLAKRING (FFG-42)
  
  
• Royal New Zealand Coast Guard, Canterbury
  

And although not related to NavRules, the most unique hat in my collection is a Russian officers dress cap given to me by a member of the crew of the Marshal Ustinov, a guided missile cruiser, while it was tied up in Boston, MA in July of 1993.  The Marshal Ustinov, along with the Admiral Kharlamov, a guided missile destroyer, and the Dnester, an auxiliary ship, had a 3 day shore leave in Boston after some joint exercises in the Atlantic with the US Navy.

And the label inside the cap:

Tim Curry wore one of thse hats in the movie "The Hunt for Red October":
