I think the USPS should be compared/contrasted with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. I do not know enough to do this however. Greg Edwards —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.149.2 (talk) 04:20:42, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

--Difference--

As USPS members, we don't have any "official authority" so to speak. USCG Auxiliary has authority while on a Coast Guard assignment or volunteering aboard a Coast Guard Vessel, and many USCGA members volunteer, usually in the vessel safety inspection or in the area of port security on the water. I think the easiest way to explain it in laymans terms is, the Coast Guard is like the police, the USGC Auxiliary is like a volunteer policeman, and the USPS is like the neighborhood watch.
