Serve Your Country with the Coast Guard Auxiliary – Flotilla 91, Fort Myers Beach

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is more than boats and life jackets. In today’s world, communications are the backbone of mission success. Our Telecommunications Group provides the critical link between the U.S. Coast Guard, Auxiliary units, and the boating public. When radios go quiet, so do rescue operations—and that’s where you can make a difference.

As a radio operator, your expertise matters. It’s not just about marine channels—it’s about emergency coordination, contingency networks, and reliable communication when technology fails. Whether it’s storms, disasters, or busy weekends on the Gulf, the Auxiliary depends on volunteers who understand signal paths, antennas, repeaters, and disciplined net procedures.

Joining the Auxiliary means standing shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. Coast Guard, serving your community, and strengthening America’s readiness. You’ll receive training, earn certifications, and support missions that save lives and protect our waters.

Ham radio skills translate directly into this service. Your ability to troubleshoot, adapt, and maintain calm, clear communications under pressure is invaluable. In return, you’ll gain the honor of wearing the uniform of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, belonging to a team with a proud tradition of Semper Paratus—Always Ready.

Flotilla 91, Fort Myers Beach, invites you to bring your skills to the nation’s service. This is your opportunity to go beyond hobby and into history—by becoming part of America’s volunteer maritime force.
