during the early 19th century. These notices generally included, in their description, the clothing worn by the cuttermen when they left the cutter. In addition, we used contemporary paintings and anecdotal information related to privateer crewmember attire, which, like in the revenue service, wore non-standard naval clothing. Within the twenty-five members of the Historical Ship's Company, there is considerable variation in the clothing. It just happened that in the particular group photo in the Reservist Magazine, the members' clothing was all almost identical. Bob Browning, Historian, US Coast Guard another uniForm Question I'm always elated when I receive a new issue of the Reservist. The magazine is an excellent source of information to follow the myriad of subtle changes in equipment capabilities and the way in which the Coast Guard does business. I enjoyed the article focusing on Lt. Michael Doria's award for his work in developing the MACE training program to ensure a uniform procedure for traumatic brain injury assessments for USN/USMC/ USCG personnel in deployed combat environments. However, I couldn't help but notice that the caption under the picture on p.31 showing Lt. Doria's Meritorious Public Service Award presentation by RADM Maura Dollymore, USPHS and Capt. David Tarantino, USN. I believe that's a USCG Rear Admiral on the Lieutenant's right and his left side is flanked by a gentleman wearing the bar of a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Could you verify this for us please? Thanks. Sincerely, OSC Mike Garbe USCGR (Ret.) note: Chief, thanks for your letter and feedback on the Lt. Doria article. Regarding your question about the collar device/rank of the service member standing to Lt. Doria���s left, the device on his right collar this a captain���s eagle. The device on his left collar signifies his professional specialty (medical). - JDS in line With on-line This is my first issue of the magazine on line; it is terrific and so much easier reading on-line. Thanks for a job well done and especially done well. Thanks, Lt. Cmdr Sherm Palan USCGR (Ret.) Just read Volume LIX Issue 3-2012 on-line. Great articles on the new TPSBs, the ���Pipe Band,��� the War of 1812, and all of the human interest articles: those wonderful folks who make the Coast Guard Reserve so very special. Of special note was the billet chart and interviews with the new Silver Badges. Keep up the good work and exceptional quality of material presented! Captain John Marks USCGR (Ret.) rmp... Can i Buy a voWel? I enjoy your magazine and often use it in training of my Reserve personnel. I have a question regarding the definition of an IDT drill. As we all know a "drill" is defined as "a minimum of 4 hours..." straight out of the Reserve Policy Manual. Was there ever a time in which a drill was defined as standard 4 hours or more, but minimum of 3 hours? Or am I getting this mixed up with a RMP (readiness management period)? Thank you for your time. Very respectfully, Lt. Cmdr. Mike Byrne LANT3-NCC Senior Reserve Officer note: Sir, thanks for the question. We think you may, in fact, be confusing IDT with RMP. Here is what we have learned from Cmdr. Laura Moose in CG-1311 with respect to IDT and RMP. IDT shall be used to provide structured individual and/or unit training to Reserve Component members. Paid single IDT periods shall NOT be LESS THAN 4 hours. Paid multiple IDT periods shall NOT be LESS THAN 8 hours. An RMP is in addition to IDT and shall NOT be LESS THAN 3 hours in duration. No more than one RMP can be performed in any calendar day. In addition, an RMP may not be performed in the same calendar day as any other type of duty (IDT, ADT, etc.). An RMP is authorized to support training preparation and general readiness requirements (PHA, dental exam, MT, etc.). Availability of paid readiness management periods are set annually based on funding. For FY13 one paid RMP is authorized.
