How to Join
To Join Us in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Follow These Steps:
First: Contact Flotilla 7-7 Human Resource Officer (FSO-HR) to express your interest, and to visit a flotilla meeting, or find a flotilla near you by Zip Code.
Second: Complete the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Enrollment Application, which includes fingerprints by an Auxiliary-approved technician. All of the forms and guides are at the bottom of the page. Begin with the Consent Form.
Third: Carefully read through the New Member Reference Guide and take the short test, with a designated Auxiliary proctor.
Your Human Resources Officer (FSO-HR) walk you through your Enrollment Application Package, and will sent it to the Directory of the Auxiliary.
The Enrollment Application includes a simple security questionnaire for the normal, or "Operational Security" (OS) clearance level, which all Auxiliarists have completed. Applicants may complete the entire application in advance, but it must be signed only in the presence of the fingerprint technician. Flotilla Commanders or their designee can arrange for the fingerprinting appointment.
After reading through the New Member Reference Guide, and the New Member Course Exam Study Guide applicants should arrange to take the short multiple-choice New Member Examination quiz in the presence of a Flotilla officer.
The Flotilla Commander will then submit the entire package, consisting of Application, Fingerprint Card, and Exam Score Sheet to the Director of Auxiliary (DIRAUX) for processing. All applicants will ultimately receive a confirming letter from the DIRAUX, as well as a membership number and additional information.
All of the resources necessary for this process may be found below. If you have any questions, contact any Flotilla Commander or Flotilla Staff Officer - Human Resources (FSO-HR). uscgaux082.07.07@gmail.com
