Are you looking for adventure while serving your country and your community?If you are looking for some adventure in your life, consider joining the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Wherever your interests lie, and whatever life skills you have, chances are that the Coast Guard Auxiliary can offer you an area to serve that will enrich your life in ways you may not have imagined. The Auxiliary offers you a unique opportunity to make a real difference in your local community and across the country. We welcome and recognize your past experience, skills and talent. We challenge you to have fun learning new skills and qualifications in company with a very special group of volunteers. The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a number of opportunities, but the tasks can generally be divided into three service areas:
Auxiliarists are able to partake in training and perform missions in any of these areas. Prevention One of the Auxiliary’s primary missions is recreational boating safety. This mission is accomplished by qualified members delivering Public Safety Boating Education training and classes, by providing voluntary vessel safety checks to boaters, by visiting with and educating local marine related industries, and by general outreach to the boating public through boat shows and other public venues and events. Response For those interested in boating, the Auxiliary offers a rigorous level of hands-on training and qualification as boat-crew and coxswain. Qualified Auxiliarists perform regular safety patrol missions in their local area and support local boating activities on-the-water such as regattas, fireworks & fleet visits. In addition, the Auxiliary works side-by-side with their active-duty USCG counterparts in many other mission areas, including environmental protection, Commercial Vessel Safety Inspections, Port Security and Planning, Licensing and Documentation, and other vital operational roles. Auxiliarists receive training virtually identical to that of their active duty and reserve counterparts (with the exception of law enforcement and military specific tasks).
Logistics The Auxiliary needs people with leadership, administrative and technical skills (such as website design, computer server administration, graphic design, photography, videography, communications, public relations/public affairs, instruction and instructional design, and personnel services) to support those Auxiliarists involved in the recreational boating safety and operations & marine safety missions.
Enjoy Fun and Fellowship In all activities, enjoy
fellowship -- the good company of other Auxiliarists at meetings and
training sessions, on patrols and other missions, and at ceremonies
and social events. One of he Auxiliary's trademarks is good
old-fashioned hospitality. Friends, neighbors and interested members
of the public are always welcome to attend one of our flotilla
meetings. In addition, dedication to boating safety provides the
atmosphere for getting together to swap boating experiences and
participate in cruises and rendezvous. You'll find a special
camaraderie among Auxiliarists that's hard to beat. There's time to
relax and have fun at Auxiliary outings, training sessions, patrols,
VSCs, classes, and conferences. Auxiliarists make lasting,
meaningful friendships. Knowing that you belong to a special group
of people and directly participate in helping save lives gives your
Auxiliary membership a special meaning. Call our Flotilla 75 Personnel Services Officer at 877-CGAUX75 or 877-242-8975. Or use this link to the
