The
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCG AUX), Flotilla 15-2, is a
member of the Fabulous Fifth United States Coast Guard District, Southern
Region and one of the six Flotillas in Auxiliary Division 15. Our Flotilla
business meetings are held the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at
the Annapolis Coast Guard Station, which is located on Thomas Point Road,
Annapolis.
The missions of the Auxiliary, and for our Flotilla, are to promote boating
safety; conduct boating and marine environment related classes; perform
non-law enforcement boat and jet ski safety inspections; perform on-the-water
or air operational safety and security patrols; assist with environmental
matters; operate marine related communication stations; and to supplement the
active duty United Sates Coast Guard in performing their vital missions.
As
volunteers, our Auxiliarists devote their time, talents and energy to support
these missions and in return understand they have contributed a worthwhile
service to the general public and the boating community.
Our Flotilla is steadily growing in membership and expanding our mission
areas. We have men and women ranging in age from 18 to 67 with varying
degrees of education and work experience. We utilize member owned and
Auxiliary inspected vessels and aircraft to perform member training, and the
safety and security patrols. The vessels are principally manned by our
members who are qualified as Coxswain's and Crew persons. The aircraft are
piloted by FAA licensed pilot's who are also qualified as an Auxiliary
Aircraft Commander. The Aircraft Commander is assisted by qualified Air
Observers.
If you are interested in helping with any of the Auxiliary missions, please
visit us at one of our Flotilla meetings or contact one of our members. Prior
boating, vessel or military experience is not a requirement for membership.
However, all members must be at least 17 years of age and United States
citizens.
If you are interested in receiving a free non-law enforcement boat or jet ski
safety check, please contact us. This inspection is a free safety examination
and failure in any of the required Federal or State requirements does not
result in a fine or penalty by the inspector. This is a free service offered
to the public in order to educate fellow boaters the safe aspects of vessel
operations and ownership. Upon passing the inspection the boat or jet ski is
awarded a USCG Auxiliary Vessel Safety Check (VSC) sticker to proudly display
on the vessel.
Please visit our WEB pages for additional information on our missions and
activities.
