Going back to the original poster's position...... that he was somehow

.... is it your take that these "Auxiliarists filling CG positions on
a part-time basis" are employees?

CGAUX members are not CG employees...the AUX is the civilian volunteer
arm of the CG. Except that the AUX has NO law enforcement authority,
only SAR responsibility, on the water they are the CG while on
duty...and when on the water, they must operate under orders and
guidance from the CG, even on inland waters where there is no CG
presence. And like any other gov't agency, the amount of record keeping
and paperwork that must be turned into the CG is humongous.

If you're old enough to remember the Civil Air Patrol during WW II, the
CG Aux is a very similar organization.

I was an AUX member for a number of years, btw.
