Be Part of the Action & Help Save Lives -- As an
Auxiliarist, you will have the opportunity to select and
participate in one or more of the Auxiliary's major
programs. If you feel strongly about the rewards you can
get from serving your community, the Coast Guard
Auxiliary is the right place for you! Either through
on-the-water Operations, the Auxiliary's Public
Education Program, Courtesy Examination Program, Radio
Watchstander, Coast Guard Recruiting, Marine
Environmental Protection or Coast Guard Administration.
Increase Your Skills -- The Auxiliary and the
Coast Guard provide specialized training on all aspects
of boating, as well as leadership and administration.
Auxiliarists receive valuable training in seamanship and
related skills, and enjoy the sense of confidence in
knowing that they are better and safer boaters.
Support the Coast Guard
-- Auxiliarists provide
direct operational and administrative support to many
local Coast Guard units. You can wear the Coast Guard
Auxiliary uniform and become part of the team. When you
qualify through training, you can take part in Search
and Rescue operations, stand radio watch at the Coast
Guard Station, work with the Marine Safety Office on
pollution matters or work in the Recruiting Office.
Service to Your Community -- Auxiliarists aren't
paid with money, but with satisfaction. We furnish and
maintain our own equipment and can choose to participate
at a level tailored to our individual capabilities. We
provide boating safety classes for youth and adults and
examine recreational vessel for safety equipment to
ensure that our neighbors will be safe on the waterways.
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, CMEs, classes, and
conferences. Auxiliarists make lasting, meaningful
friendships. Knowing that you belong to a special group
of people who directly participate in helping save lives
gives your Auxiliary membership a special meaning.
