Special Benefits for Young People
If you are 17 years of age and thinking about a career in the Coast Guard, this is for you! When you turn 17, you can join the Auxiliary, learn tremendous boating skills, advance your future career and pay in the Coast Guard while having fun learning in a friendly, supportive environment.
Under present Coast Guard recruiting requirements, Coast Guard recruits who are Auxiliarists in good standing and currently qualified at the level of Boat Crew in the Auxiliary Operations program may be enlisted in pay grade as E-2 (SA/FA) out of boot camp. Likewise, active duty Coast Guard personnel who are currently qualified as Auxiliary Vessel Coxswains may be enlisted up to a pay grade of E-3 (SN).What does this mean to you? It means Auxiliary membership and involvement translates into a monthly pay increase of over $100!
