Volunteer..... a person who offers to do something ; a person who enrols for military or other service voluntarily, not as a conscript.
As Coastguard Rescue Officers we are volunteers, its not our fully time employment, in fact the MCA goes to great pains to explain we are not employees, we are volunteers.
When the vehicle is out and about, the people inside are giving up their time to support the local community and provide a vital service.
So despite being a Government Agency we do this "Coastguarding" more as a "hobby" rather than a job!
