IF INTERESTED....START BY FILLING OUT THE ENROLLMENT FORM (at top of page) AND SENDING IT TO THE FLOTILLA NEAREST YOU!

Membership is open to all citizens of the United States and its territories who are at least 17 years old.

Facility ownership (radio station, aircraft or boat ) is desirable, but not mandatory. Individuals with special skills or interests that may be useful to the Auxiliary (teaching, public affairs, administration and many others) are also welcome.

New members will need to complete an Auxiliary approved boating course in order to participate in certain operational programs. Fellow Auxiliarists will help new members as mentors to help understand information about the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary, from leadership and chain of communications, to specialty training, to proper use and wearing of uniforms

Now is the time to volunteer, help save lives through participation in Search and Rescue Operations and through the Auxiliary's Public Education and Vessel Safety Check Programs.

Above and beyond the benefits we receive by volunteering our time and talents, auxiliarists are privileged to receive many other benefits not available to other volunteer organizations. Both the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc. provide these benefits as an enhancement to our volunteer service. The following is a listing of some of the benefits available to members:

Honolulu Federal Credit Union
The Honolulu Federal Credit Union provides all the services of a bank, but returns profits to the members instead of the stockholders. From savings and checking accounts to home equity lines of credit, the Credit Unit has a lot to offer.

Coast Guard Mutual Assistance
Mutual Assistance provides an emergency fund that can provide fast financial relief when a member faces an unexpected or "impossible" financial burden that would cause personal hardship if no assistance were provided. Auxiliarists may apply for such a loan and are considered as "Sponsor Members" under the program. If approved, the emergency loan is interest free.

Coast Guard Work-Life Programs
Auxiliarists can take advantage of certain Coast Guard Work-life Programs such as: Family Wellness - Dependent Resources - Employee Assistance - Relocation Assistance

Exchange Privileges
Auxiliarists in uniform, with proper identification, can purchase anything sold in the Coast Guard Exchange Stores except liquor and cigarettes. Dependents may accompany Auxiliarists to the Exchange, but may not make individual purchases. Members of the Auxiliary are also welcome at Department of Defense Exchanges, but only uniform items or accessories may be purchased.

Publications
Members receive the Auxiliary National publication, The Navigator, their own District publication, and other bulletins to keep abreast of Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary and general boating information.

Uniforms and Awards
The pride of wearing the Auxiliary uniform is amplified by awards and advancement, with ample opportunities to receive recognition by completing Auxiliary training courses and participating in programs authorized by your Flotilla leadership.

Tax Deductions
Uniforms, their cleaning and maintenance, and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the performance of your duties may be considered contributions for tax purposes. The foregoing is not intended to be advice on deductibility. You should consult your professional tax advisor.

Fellowship
One of the 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, you will find a special camaraderie among Auxiliarists that is hard to beat. Along with our missions we find time to relax and have fun at Auxiliary outings, training sessions, patrols, Vessel Safety Checks, classes, and conferences. Auxiliarists make lasting, meaningful friendships.
