FSO/MT 92
Lake Havasu Flotilla 92 has a comprehensive training program for its members.  We have both written and on-line training and testing programs.  We have mentors to help folks through their training and duty vessels to provide the platforms for on-the-water training in the operations programs.  There is such a wide diversity of programs and activities, that there is always an interesting and challenging field in which even our most experienced members can participate.  I urge you to get involved in the various activities of the flotilla to find out what jobs you might wish to learn how to do.
