Many members are unaware of the opportunity to belong to the Pentagon Federal Credit Union. This is the official credit union of the USCG, and the Auxiliary is part of that. Read information concerning this on the front page of the Summer 2007 issue of the Beacon. In addition, all members should have received a letter from the PFCU that contains all information about benefits. While it may not be for everyone, it is very beneficial to those who use a credit card, and this is such as can replace most others. Keep your finances up to date and check out this benefit of belonging to the USCG Auxiliary.
