How often do your flotillas meet?  Is it just once a month?

I don't have any experience with boats or on boats and there's no air unit anywhere close... how good is the CGAux training program? Do they assume you know nothing? How receptive are Flotilla COs to people like that that want to become members?

My background in CAP is mostly cadet programs and some, mostly planning of ES and recruiting.

Mine is once a month.  Some others have the monthly business meeting and then additional meetings for member training.  There are also divison (think group in CAP) and district (regionish) actvities throughout the year.

It depends... If your flotilla basically leaves you to fend for yourself with no mentor, it can be daunting.  For me personally I know very little about boats... I own a kayak.  I'm finding it difficult to get started in one of the program areas... I do mostly admin at the flotilla.  As far as recruitment, that depends also.

I think once a month is fairly standard for CG Aux.

Ours is in SW Florida.  One week is our Staff Meeting. The next week is our Regular Flotilla Meeting. The Saturday following that is our Fellowship Breakfast. Then spread out through the Month are training classes.
