- Boating Safety Organizations Join to Speak with One Voice in 2008:
The Office of Boating Safety has requested that all Auxiliarists
follow their lead in transitioning from using the term "PFD" to using the term
"life jacket" exclusively for all non-regulatory purposes, both
internally and externally. This change is part of a national thrust being
spearheaded by the National Safe Boating Council with the full support of the
Coast Guard, all state boating authorities, and affiliated organizations and
associations to promote life jacket wear. The Coast Guard reminds you.......
Boat Responsibly and Always Wear Your Life Jacket.
