We had the opportunity to speak with members of the community on boating safety , legal requirements , as well as the roll of both the United States Coast Guard and it ' s Auxiliary . Steve was interviewed by a staff member for Cessna Radio . His interview included topics about RBS and the opportunities for service in the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary . That interview was aired locally on six local radio stations .
