Auxiliarists rather than the Auxiliary itself.

Guard Auxiliary www.cgaux.org.
Operation
Life Ring Auxiliarists helping Auxiliarists in a time of
need.
Reservist

Director of Reserve & Training, U.S. Coast Guard.
Knowledge
Base  To
inform Auxiliarists of some of the most frequently asked questions, especially
those which are not necessarily or easily found in Auxiliary manuals or Coast
Guard instructions, the Office of Auxiliary has created the Auxiliary
Knowledge Base.

America's Waterway Watch
Have you seen any of the following activities
when you are on the water?
- People appearing to be engaged in surveillance of any kind (note taking,
shooting video/photos, making sketches, or asking questions).
- Unattended vessels or vehicles in unusual locations.
- Lights flashing between boats.
- Unusual diving activity.
- Unusual number of people onboard.
- Unusual night operations.
- Recovering or tossing items into/onto the waterway or shoreline.
- Operating in or passing through an area that does not typically have such
activity.
If so, call 1-877-24WATCH or 1-877-2492. And, of course, you can always
dial 911. For more in-depth information on America's Waterway Watch, click
here.
"Eyes on the
Water" is a maritime domain awareness campaign intended to encourage you
to report suspicious activity, not to take direct action. more..
The Eagle. The U.S. Coast Guard Barque EAGLE, a 295',
1800 ton, steel hull, three masted sailing vessel, is the only active tall
ship in U. S. government service. It has been training future U.S. Coast
Guard officers for over half a century, and despite being 19th century
technology, EAGLE continues to produce leaders of character for the nation's
smallest armed service.

Dial-A-Buoy
The National Weather Service created
Dial-A-Buoy
to give mariners an easy way to obtain the reports via a cell phone.
Dial-A-Buoy provides wind and wave measurements taken within the last hour
at NDBC buoy and Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations.
To access Dial-A-Buoy, dial 888-701-8992 using any touch tone
or cell phone. You may need to let the phone ring 7 or 8 times. When answered, enter 1.
Then, enter the five-digit (or character) station identifier, followed by
the # sign, in response to the prompt. Local station identifiers are
available from NOAA at
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/Northeast.shtml.
For Kids (and
Teachers)
- For you and your kids from the US Coast Guard.
Teachers guides and coloring books.

Life Jackets
Boat smart from the start and wear it! There are many new types of
life jackets, designed for all types of boats and boaters. For
everyday boating wear, you just can’t beat the new, inflatable life jackets.
They’re cool, comfortable, light weight, don’t restrict movement
and have the same buoyancy support as the bulky “gold-standard”, Type I
offshore vests. Triggered by either a manual pull-cord or an automatic
sensor, a gas cartridge quickly inflates the vest while in the water. They
are made by several manufacturers and are available in adult and
children’s sizes.
