Ron & All VEs and Chair Persons

I have already requested from National and from my District the following:

Can it be made possible for the completed VSC Exams for a Squadron to 
be accessed by one individual with a password so that the submitted 
VSC paperwork can be examined closely for errors or missing VSCs.

To date National has told me to coordinate with my District VSC and 
my District VSC gave me the link to the Web Site Totals.

This is not what I want. Since this is a data base, it should be made 
accessible in a 'Read Only' mode to let a Squadron Chairperson or 
data checker to access the information and do a double check.

Until the 800 errors can be viewed/corrected by the Squadron person 
responsible, there will be errors and more errors and National will 
be responsible to have a person send these errors to the Squadrons 
affected. They cannot just be thrown into 'bit bucket 13' and forgotten.

Thanks for the time

Lee

They cannot just be thrown into 'bit bucket 13' and forgotten.

VE's, 
&nbsp; 
I have just received a list from National containing
about 800 VSC's that we can not include in the report totals. 
There are a variety of reasons, see below for; &quot; The Cause &quot;, (
The Cure ), { How to fix } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Not eligible to do checks,
not re-certified&quot; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Someone did not certify with
5 VSC's last year) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; { Must
do two supervised VSC's AND
send in the VE-2 form } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Certificate # / Date /
Registration # already exists&quot; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( Someone has already
submitted this information ) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
{Please be sure that only
ONE
person from the Squadron or District sends in the info } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Certificate # not in Vessel
Examiner File&quot; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( No one has notified National
that a member has passed the test and done 5 supervised VSC's ) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
Complete and SEND IN
the VE-2 form, available on our web site
under Forms and Tools } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Registration # already
exists for the check year&quot; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( Again, someone has already
submitted this information ) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
Check your work
CAREFULLY
, a boat can pass and fail on the same report but can't pass
twice. } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Certificate # not found in
membership file&quot; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ( Someone entered the wrong
Certificate Number or did not pay their dues this year ) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {
Please do an INFORMATION
CHECK on all VE's in your Squadron } 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
I would like to have each District Chair or his
designee contact me via return e-mail so that I can get you the list of
Squadrons 
and Vessel Examiners in your District who are listed.&nbsp; Please, let's
keep it to Dist Chairs, I don't think that this &quot;push button
brain&quot; 
or my &quot;fat little fingers&quot; could handle 2,266 individual
requests. 
&nbsp; 
Thanks, and PLEASE keep up the GREAT JOB!&nbsp;&nbsp;
