I wonder if the OED's definition applies also to the Coast Guard Women's Reserve.

Don't forget it's an acronym for the Coast Guard Women's Reserve. Acronym from "Semper Paratus, Always Ready." :) I always think of those sharp uniforms whenever I see the word.

I'm partial to the OED's definition: "..a number of crystalline minerals more or less lustrous in appearance and admitting of easy cleavage."
