Subject: MYCG – MODERNIZING COAST GUARD ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

To the Women and Men of the U.S. Coast Guard,

It is my pleasure to announce the Coast Guard’s launch of MyCG, a new website created by Coasties, for Coasties.

MyCG is a one-stop information gateway – on the public web – that brings together essential Coast Guard news and resources to give you easier access to the important information you need. It is available anytime, anywhere, with updates and resources to support you and your family.

MyCG is an essential tool for sustaining a mission-ready total workforce. When we announce a new personnel policy, you can go to MyCG to learn exactly how it will affect you. As you strive to advance your career and become a better leader, click on MyCG to find the information and resources you need. When you want to connect with an affinity group, or save up for your dream home, visit MyCG. We’ve got a section for that too.

A modern workforce deserves a modern approach to communicating. For the past year, a small team – comprised of officers, enlisted, spouses, reservists, retirees, and civilians – has been building a better system to ensure our people get the information they need. The MyCG website is just the start. In the coming months, we’ll continue to upgrade our approach to organizational communications. As we move ahead, MyCG will expand with more functionality, more news, more resources, and more voices.

You can access MyCG at https://www.work.uscg.mil/MyCG/. The “About” tab includes a Quick Guide for saving the site to your mobile device home screen, where it will function just like an app. Please take a moment to tell us what YOU would like to see on MyCG – you can email the team at MyCG@uscg.mil. We’re committed to making sure you can easily find the news and resources you need to succeed and ensure we remain ready, relevant, and responsive.

Semper Paratus!

Admiral Charles W. Ray

Vice Commandant

2. All Auxiliarists are encouraged to frequently visit this new MyCG site. The site is currently designed for Auxiliarists to learn more about the Coast Guard much more so than it is for them to learn about the Auxiliary. As Admiral Ray indicated, in the coming months the site’s approach to organizational communications will be upgraded with more functionality, resources, and voices. In the meantime, it provides a new and attractive one-stop source for Coast Guard information for all members of the Coast Guard.

3. Internet release is authorized.

***For many reasons including the value of keeping communication lines clear and open as well as facilitating access to training and educational tools, all Auxiliarists are urged to have their own email address and to keep it updated in AUXDATA.***
