I'd looked at this pretty heavily, I didn't kmow if any of you'd ever seen it...you actually get to do some fairly nifty stuff doing this, I gather the level of involvement is actually quite high....

I am a member of this organization and serve both locally and nationally. Working together to serve the public and working side by side with active duty is one of the many benefits. Happy to share deeper insights with anyone who wants to know.

I could really use some advice, if you might ever have time...I'm total perm disabled, the rules about my volunteering are pretty strict...that may not make terribly much sense, however, I've dug into the whole thing, and found that it's all apparently quite real, in terms of the restrictions...I've got some stuff I'd need to ask about HR and recruiting, I was going to do it, it's just that my disability stuff kept getting in the way, so, if you've got any thoughts about anyone I could possibly chat with, I'd obviously be most obliged, many thanks....

I spent 17 years in the Auxiliary and operated mostly with marine inspectors out of MSO Milwaukee and Sector Lake Michigan. I retired because of my disabilities catching up to me. I had a blast. I was fully accepted by the USCG community not only because of being a retired CPO, but because I was a boiler inspector in the Navy and also had a National Board Commission. I did their training and much auxiliary training too. I was one of the first two auxiliarists in SLM to get my "pickle fork pin". I love the auxiliary. It gave an old chief something to do. My flotilla, 09-41-01 out of Kenosha was a great group of people too. Many great mentors with them. I can't say enough good about the auxiliary. It's great!
Semper Gumby!

Thank you for all of your service. I have been in auxiliary for 3 years at CG Station Niagara in Youngstown, NY and I also really enjoy it and all the education you get. Semper Paratus!

We have them in our local area. A couple students from our high school were involved.

Yeah, they do have some quite interesting things one can get involved with, espec if one does that AUXOP prog of theirs...they had another one I'd really want, i just can't do it,unfortunately, due to my disability...we're still looking to see if I can do any of it, we wont know for awhile, many thanks....

For the most part, AUXOP courses are classroom/computer based training. AexSea Seamanship, AuxWeaWeather and AuxCom Communications as well as most of the FEMA ICS courses are not a physical course Some of the leadership courses require several days of classroom time

I follow...God knows, I've asked...I'd love to do it, if the whole total perm disability thing didn't constantly get in the way, you know?
