Twitter About
The Drum Point Flotilla posts to Twitter as @CGAUXDrumPoint. Each time a new article posts to our blog an announcement is made automatically by Twitter. Facebook updates from our Drum Point FLotilla Fan Page are also automatically posted to Twitter. Our Twitter sysops follow other Coast Guard related Twitter users as well as maritime, SAR, commercial, and community related Twitter users.
Our focus is on Southern Maryland, but our thirst for knowledge goes beyond Calvert County. We also follow other Auxiliary flotillas and other organizations interested in promoting boating safety. We even follow some international maritime search and rescue organizations since we all share a common fraternal bond in the service we provide.
We refer you to our Link Policy regarding linking to other than Coast Guard sites using Twitter. When we do follow a Twitter’er it does not mean that the Coast Guard or the Coast Guard Auxiliary support and/or endorse a particular person, organization, or product. It means that by following this user our members and potentially the boating public may gain some valuable boating related information or knowledge.
Why do we follow commercial Twitter users? Marine retailers and other Southern Maryland businesses can help us get the boating-safety message out to everyone. The Coast Guard Auxiliary even has a memorandums of understanding with some major marine businesses. We think sharing our posts with them helps move the boating-safety message.
Some local media outlets follow our Tweets and we appreciate that! This way the media knows what we are up to and can learn more about the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary serving Southern Maryland. Media representatives can contact our Public Affairs Officer under the Contact tab above.
Our Twitter page is located at http://www.twitter.com/CGAUXDrumPoint. The last several tweets are also published here at the blog under the Twitter tab.
We encourage anyone with an interest in boating safety to follow us and read our tweets. By all means please re-Tweet!

Consier adding #smboat to your Discover Searches in your Twitter client.

We hope you enjoy our Tweets!
