Mon, 27 Jun 22 Posted by: Timothy Czeisel
The Recruiting Offices (ROs) of the Coast Guard Recruiting Command (CGRC) typically serve large, multi-state areas. Auxiliarists working at ROs may qualify to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Coast Guard recruiters on the front lines assisting with identifying the next generation’s leaders and team members while saving the ROs critical manpower and money. As a member of the CGRS Division, Auxiliarists are able to complete the CGRS program’s PQS (and earn the CG Recruiting Badge, CG Recruiting Services Ribbon, and the wreath which fits around the perimeter of the Recruiting Badge) and effectively function as Coast Guard recruiters throughout the country as well as help the active-duty recruiters perform their normal jobs better.

Operation Paddle Smart
Tue, 08 Sep 15 Posted by: Timothy Czeisel
Link to a video on paddle smart here.
"The Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary have teamed up to launch ‘Operation Paddle Smart,’ a campaign that provides free water-proof stickers for labeling owner identification and contact information to small, paddle craft vessels. aimed to benefit the entire U.S. maritime community.
With the increase of kayakers and paddlecraft enthusiasts getting out on the water, the number of vessels found adrift without its pilot have also increased. Unlike larger recreational or commercial vessels which share in the fortunate benefit of hull registration numbers and a vessel name that allow for the owner to be identified, kayaks and other forms of paddlecraft, characteristically do not have identifying features that allow for the owner to be contacted. As a result the Coast Guard spends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year engaged in search and rescue operations for cases where there was nobody in danger to begin with."
