How to Log Your Time
Logging your time can be confusing at first. The two most commonly used forms are the 7029 and 7030.
- 7029 Member Activity Log
- Access the 7029 form HERE. It is a webform and can be submitted online.
- Use the 7029 to log your time attending meetings. For members, use code 99E. For officers, use code 99A.
- 7029 is also used to log training. Log under code 99D.
- The full list of 7029 codes can be viewed HERE
- Here is the 7029 FAQ
- 7030 Member Activity Report
- The 7030 comes in both an e-form PDF and a normal PDF. You can tell which you are on because the e-form has a big red submit button where the normal PDF has just local notes. The normal PDF form has 8 additional pages of instructions which can be helpful for filling out the e-form.
- The 7030 is used as an activity report. It is used for public affairs, boat patrols, communications, recruiting assistance, public education, and many more things.
