We Need You -- In the wake of the recent attacks on the United States, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will be called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions.  We will need all the help we can get.  You needn't own a boat or even be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging.  For information about existing Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our Join the Auxiliary webpage.  You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard and, in the process, do something for our country in its hour of need.

Thanks for this info!
I have been trying to get an answer from the Oregon National Guard about my age,53.
According to Title 32 of the US Code you can re-enter or join up to age 62
IF you have prior military service (US Navy '68-'69), but all I hear is that you have to be able to put 20 years in by 62.
There IS a Coast Guard station in Bandon OR where I live so I will contact them.

Thanks for checking into the Oregon National Guard for me.
No sense "fighting city hall", I'll contact the Coast Guard Station in Bandon.

I received my application in the mail today
and spoke with the local head of the local flotilla yesterday and we are meeting Wed. AM
The Oregon National Guard would not accept me because I just turned 53,
BUT that is not a problem with the Coast Guard Auxillary.
Just goes to show you, old tin can sailors CAN be re-cycled, LOL

[hedgetrimmer]

You are Too Cool For Words! Thanks for pitching in, in a time of need.
