Three auxiliarists, including Emily Johnson (pictured here the day of her final qualification), have completed boat crew training and will be regulars on future safety, search and rescue, observation, and other on-water operations in the future.  

Others have stepped us as well, traveling to Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, VA and completing courses in seamanship, patrol management, marine safety and environmental protection, and radio communications.  With training in cold water survival, marine safety administration and management, and marine environmental outreach, and the Leadership and Management School on the horizon for experienced members of the crew, newcomers to the unit remain engaged as they continue to work through their "Basic Introduction Course" under the guidance of experienced mentors.
