Who are the people that serve with Team Coast Guard? Actually, it can be anyone you know. From Texas to New York; from Florida to Washington, there are members of the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Reserve, and Coast Guard Auxiliary everywhere - and it could be any one of a number of people that you know, from all walks of life. There is more to Team Coast Guard than just the people that have had Coast Guard Training.  All of the members of Team Coast Guard contribute their life experiences. Whether you have a military background, are a Marine Scientist, or just someone interested in learning, everyone in Team Coast Guard contributes something for the good of the community.
