1
00:00:30,885 --> 00:00:34,864
The Auxiliary is a great way for people to 
get back to the community, give back to the

2
00:00:34,864 --> 00:00:36,205
services as well.

3
00:00:36,205 --> 00:00:41,444
We're volunteers but we make a difference. 
We help out the active side in augmenting

4
00:00:41,444 --> 00:00:45,522
their forces and we get to do jobs side by 
side with them and help them out.

5
00:01:08,194 --> 00:01:13,414
They play a lot of support roles you know
from the AUX Chef program in the galley to

6
00:01:13,414 --> 00:01:17,285
comms watch stander in the watch room.

7
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:22,153
And then they're also a great asset for 
helping us train for our missions.

8
00:01:22,153 --> 00:01:26,682
Going out there to do as a safety platform 
and also giving us a different type of

9
00:01:26,682 --> 00:01:29,184
platforms to train on and learn how 
to tow boats.

10
00:01:36,154 --> 00:01:39,813
I would say there are so many opportunities 
within the Coast Guard Auxiliary

11
00:01:39,813 --> 00:01:41,705
to assist the Coast Guard.

12
00:01:41,706 --> 00:01:46,704
It's a volunteer organization and we can 
do so many things, aside from our

13
00:01:46,704 --> 00:01:50,484
contributions because we have such a wide, 
diverse background.

14
00:02:14,534 --> 00:02:18,539
The AUX Chef programs is great. 
I mean I've I've seen some magnificent

15
00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:21,235
food come from the auxiliary - 
some replica cakes of Coast Guard

16
00:02:21,235 --> 00:02:25,298
vessels and then also just... 
the quality of food is great.

17
00:02:42,934 --> 00:02:47,574
Every person that puts on the auxiliary 
uniform you know is there to support

18
00:02:47,574 --> 00:02:51,945
the Coast Guard and I think that part 
of our strength is having the

19
00:02:51,945 --> 00:02:52,974
auxiliary force.

20
00:03:37,966 --> 00:03:41,594
I say look into the different types 
of job opportunities, career

21
00:03:41,594 --> 00:03:45,375
opportunities that are available
and then choose wisely.

22
00:04:18,915 --> 00:04:22,787
Other service organizations may offer you 
some interesting things to do but

23
00:04:22,787 --> 00:04:25,896
the Coast Guard Auxiliary offers 
you possibly the most.

24
00:04:25,896 --> 00:04:29,887
But if you want to examine vessels 
to make sure that they've got the

25
00:04:29,887 --> 00:04:33,376
right safety equipment, you want to 
train people on how to be safe when

26
00:04:33,376 --> 00:04:35,616
they're out on their boats or 
their kayaks.

27
00:04:35,616 --> 00:04:41,144
If you want to if you want to be on 
a vessel and go out and make sure

28
00:04:41,144 --> 00:04:44,776
people are safe on the water, 
this is the organization for you.

29
00:05:22,095 --> 00:05:25,097
Really appreciate what they do 
on a day to day basis.

30
00:05:25,097 --> 00:05:28,384
They are a force multiplier for the 
Coast Guard, whether it be aviation

31
00:05:28,384 --> 00:05:32,135
or surface side. I think the auxiliary 
is going to continue to grow.

32
00:05:32,135 --> 00:05:34,927
I don't think the Coast Guard can 
do what we do without the Auxiliary.
