With being a rescue/salvage diver for the town harbourmaster, a rescue diver for the civillian corps of the fire department, a trained emergency first responder, a deck hand aboard the SSV. Tabor Boy, and owning a commercial fishing buisness, I thought that joining the Aucillary would be a breeze, but having applied to flotilla 12-8 out of scituate MA. (div.1), I was dismaied when they would not accept me, on the basis of my age (15 yrs).
Today I spoke with the lieutenant-commander in charge of recruitment for the USCG Academy and she said the with my qualifications, my age should not be of any signifigance to the AUXILIARY.
```` who should I contact to come to a resolution with this issue?
