Joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary

[PacificNWrib]

Has anyone or is anyone currently volunteering for one of these positions? I am thinking about joining the local floatila here in Vancouver.

One of my co-workers has been a member for the past year and loves it.

I would love to be part of some search and rescues. After some training and getting my vessel correctly outfitted.

I joined 2 years ago and am having the time of my life. Great bunch of people and very dedicated. Lots of learning opportunities for things you thought you already knew.

Hi, I have been a member for 7 years. It is a lot of fun and i have learned a lot. I am in the Sidney unit on vancouver island. Beware it is a big commitment of your time. I have seen lots of people come and go. I was also put through RHIOT school in Bamfield which was a great rough water training coures.
