"New to the Auxiliary" Link  

A key demographic in the Auxiliary’s recruiting and retention efforts are those people who are on the point of joining us, and those who have just joined. These newcomers are compelled to ingest a torrent of nautical jargon, flotilla minutiae, new names and titles, and bewildering acronyms from the proverbial fire hose.

National Staff has developed a “one stop shopping” web page just for them It is called “New to the Auxiliary?” This page is easily accessible from the Auxiliary’s front page – it is a drop-down selection in the gray “Aux Members” tab. There is also an on-ramp from MyCGAux. 

This page is directly accessible at: https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=H-DEPT&category=new-members

“New to the Auxiliary?” demystifies the New Member Exam, the PSI process, member IDs, uniforms, the Basic Qualification Course, the boating safety course, AUXCT, our many missions, and even a peek ahead to AUXOP. This page will often be updated, but will always be in ready reach of your newcomers. It is not designed to replace a flotilla’s mentoring process, but rather, to be a useful resource for flotilla newcomers and their mentors alike.

We need your help to alert new personnel in your units to this page, and how to navigate to it.
