| 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 of knowing that they are better and safer boaters. | ||
| SUPPORT THE COAST GUARD -- As Auxiliarists we provide direct operational and administrative support to both the Coast Guard Group and Station in Portland. You can wear the Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform and become part of Team Coast Guard. When you qualify through training, you can take part in Search and Rescue operations, stand radio watch at the Coast Guard Group, 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 vessels for safety equipment to ensure that our neighbors will be safe on the waterways. While underway on patrols we advise boaters to not anchor in the channel of the river and watch out for large tug/barge and commercial ship traffic. | ||
| ENJOY FUN AND FELLOWSHIP -- In all activities, enjoy Fellowship --One of the Auxiliary's cornerstones. The company of other Auxiliarists at meetings and training sessions, on patrols and other missions, and at ceremonies and social events. Friends, neighbors and interested members of the public are always welcome to attend one of our flotilla meetings. 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, Vessel Exams, 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. | ||
