NERPA505 Update

Hello 505!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

(1) Tuesday is Character Development emphasis night.  Cadets need to attend at least one Character Development class per achievement.  The uniform of the day is USAF Class B blues for cadets and blues or the alternate uniform for senior members.  There is always a possibility that we might have visitors, so please be sure your uniforms are complete and you meet appearance standards.
(2) There will be a special presentation during opening formation to recognize one of our cadets for reaching a major achievement.  All cadets are encouraged to be in attendance.  Parents are also encouraged to attend, if possible, to be of support and encouragement to our cadets.  Some snacks and refreshments will be provided.
(3) Members of the Color Guard who were present at the last meeting agreed that they would like to march in the Warren Jaycees 4th of July parade.  Color Guard members should be prepared to practice drill during the meeting.  Capt. Hagberg also informed the squadron that the Color Guard has been invited to participate in the Fireman's Parade at Sheffield.
(4) Cadets and senior members please be sure you have signed off on the monthly safety briefing.  If you have not already done so, go to visit http://www.aetc.af.mil and click on "100 Days of Summer."  The video by Gen. Stephen R. Lorenz, Commander, Air Education and Training Command, USAF,is only a couple of minutes long.
(5) Take advantage of every opportunity to invite people to squadron meetings.  Keep some CAP literature on hand to give to people you meet.  Stay in recruiting mode!  Cadets who recruit two members who complete the application process are eligible to receive the Cadet Recruiting Ribbon.  Senior members must recruit seven qualified members to be eligible for the Senior Recruiting Ribbon.
(6) Cadets and senior members who participate in community service activities should keep track of their time and request a letter verifying their service from the controlling agency.  Accumulating sixty hours of verified community service meets eligibility requirements for the CAP Community Service Ribbon.

Semper Vigilans!  See you Tuesday!
