The newest regulation affecting the Coast Guard's use of
cellphones:
Quote:
"...While cellphones and texting devices have become ubiquitous...the internal Coast Guard policy issued in July prohibits their use on Coast Guard boats without the permission of the coxswain...The policy also strictly prohibits the use of these devices by the coxswain, or the operator, of a Coast Guard boat..."
