Scenario 1 LCDR Scott: Whew that was a long meeting with the contractor. We got there at 0800 and didn't get out of there until 1300. Good thing they provided donuts, bagels, and fruit, or I would've starved to death. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 1 - Continued LCDR Bonini: I can go without food but not without coffee especially when everyone gets irritable because we can't agree on a solution to that cost overrun. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 1 - Continued LCDR Scott: Yeah, it certainly was tense at times, but the coffee and juice kept coming. At least we finally did come to a resolution. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 1 - Continued LCDR Bonini: And at the end they gave us one of these things. What are we supposed to do with them? Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 1 - Continued LCDR Scott: I don't know. But now I'm wondering if we should have accepted all the free food and these things. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
No, Because the gift contained the logo of a prohibited source No, Because Coast Guard personnel cannot ever accept any free item from the prohibited source Yes, Because these are the types of items that can always be accepted. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 2 SCPO Lunt: There must be 2,000 people here at this industry expo. Sure am glad the Coast Guard decided to fund TAD orders so I could attend. Too bad I couldn’t get Sean a pass, but as a science teacher he couldn’t produce a federal or industry ID. It’s a shame because he’s so interested in the technology here. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 2 - Continued SCPO Lunt: Well, well. Here’s a drawing for a Personal Digital Assistant. Not sure if I’d find it useful, but it must be a neat device. There are hundreds of business cards in that box. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I’ll just throw in my business card. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Scenario 2 - Continued Announcer: And our winner today is SCPO Steve Lunt of the United States Coast Guard! Come on up here and claim your PDA. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Yes, Because he entered the contest in an unofficial capacity No, Because the only reason he was at the expo was because Uncle Sam paid his way No, because only industry representatives and federal employees could attend the expo Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX

Additional Scenario Civilian: Say, Senior Chief, are you going to the next annual Coast Guard Foundation dinner for this region? SCPO: No, but I sure would like to. It’s the social event of the year and Joan and I have some new dance steps we want to show off. Last year I got some complimentary tickets from the Foundation, but no such luck this year. And with John in college I just can’t manage $150.00 a ticket. CIVILIAN: I heard from Don Drake that Coastal Maritime Technology and some other companies bought large blocks of tickets and were making them available free of charge to Coasties. Maybe you can snag a pair from them. SCPO: Thanks for the tip. Think I’ll give it a try. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Additional Scenario- Continued Lisa: Hello, this is Lisa Fisher. SCPO: Hi Lisa. This is SCPO Clark with Marine Safety. We met last year at Industry Day. Lisa: Oh, yes, I remember. What can I do for you? SCPO: I heard that Coastal Marine has some tickets to the Coast Guard Foundation dinner. Is there any chance that I could claim a pair? Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Suppose the facts are different... • Lisa on behalf of Coastal Maritime Technology contacts SCPO Clark and makes an unsolicited offer of complimentary tickets. • SCPO Clark should contact his servicing ethics attorney who will ask a series of questions to determine whether he can accept these free dinner tickets. Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Another Scenario LT Scott: OK, that ends our last inspection for the day. Fishing Vessel Captain: Hey guys – take these and have a fish fry on me. I appreciate what you Coasties do to keep us safe. LT Scott: What do you think Ken? I don’t want to insult the Captain and a fish fry sure sounds good right now. Do you suppose there’s any way we can keep them? Reviewed, DIR-T USCGAUX
Suppose the facts are different… • The fishing boat captain shows up at the Coast Guard station and surprises the team and the rest of the crew with an unsolicited gift of a cooler of cleaned and cooked fish, ready-to-eat. • By a specific gift rule, Station personnel can accept a prohibited source's unsolicited offer of prepared food if that food is shared and consumed by the personnel aboard the Station.
