U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
9th Western Region

Division 4, Flotilla 2

Serving Green Bay, WI area


Auxiliarists perform a wide variety of tasks as volunteers.  The pay that they receive is not financial.  The BENEFITS of Auxiliary membership are largely intangible, yet priceless.  

In Green Bay, auxiliarists enjoy the "fourth cornerstone" of the auxiliary, FELLOWSHIP.  There is a monthly flotilla meeting (typically the third Thursday of the month at 1900) and numerous social events throughout the course of the year (picnics, barbeques, dinners, etc.).


Additionally, the auxiliary provides excellent opportunities for
BOATING SKILLS TRAINING.  Seven different specialty courses are offered to auxiliarists.  They include:
1.  Seamanship
2.  Weather
3.  Administration
4.  Navigation
5.  Communications
6.  Search and Rescue
7.  Patrols

Green Bay auxiliarists also have the opportunity to partake in Coast Guard training for boat crew and coxswain as well as watchstanding.  Please refer to the
OPERATIONS section for more information.

However, perhaps the most rewarding aspect of auxiliary membership is providing a SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.  John F. Kennedy put it succinctly when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".
