I might wear get a jacket, not sure yet. I am only an auxiliarist which in layman terms could best be described as a volunteer force that is the lowest on the totem pole. I noticed most of the auxiliarist in our local flotilla is older than I am, that made me think, I enjoy the water, boating and most things nautical. I like the fact they are busy with public education, water safety, patrols for water safety, vessel safety checks, facility checks (vessel related, e.g. bridges, marina), that they help with keeping ATON's in check (water way signals, buoys) and that they support the USCG when needed. If you fit or like these kinds of things, I would encourage anyone interested to get involved. This is not a signing up to go off somewhere, this is a local force that is voluntary and you work only as much time as you can give.
I haven't been on a patrol yet, but I am looking forward to it. I'm really a point person for public education. I enjoy teaching kids about water safety the most.

Just in case you Coasties missed it the LL Bean Coast Guard tartan shirts are now on sale for $29.95 down from $40 something depending on regular or tall size

They look really sharp with a solid color kilt.
The Jarhead, Dogface, Swabie, and Zoomie tartans are also on sale there.
