Auxiliary Training Opportunities Feel a bit disconnected from the Auxiliary during the shutdown? A great way to feel more involved is to take an Auxiliary course, earn a new qualification or simply take advantage of the many training opportunities available online. Recreational Boating Safety has many programs like Vessel Examiner and Partner Visitations, and we can always use more Instructors! Use this down time to expand your Auxiliary skills and knowledge. Ω
