NERPA505 Update

Greetings, 505! Time for another reminder for some of the things we do to ready ourselves to serve our community, state, and nation. One of the first things we learn when we become part of CAP is that when we are not on an actual mission, we are in training. That means we do a lot of training! Considering some of the special things we learn to do, especially flying in search aircraft and ground search and rescue, maintaining a high level of readiness through training is necessary.

(1) Tuesday is PT and drill emphasis night. The uniform of the day is BDUs and appropriate exercise clothing to change into. Remember that we are a mixed group of boys and girls, so please make an effort to dress modestly. We are still expected to model the core values of Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence, and Respect, even when doing PT and exercise.
(2) We have been blessed to pick up one senior member this month, Mr. Alan Fuller, whom some of us were privileged to meet during our squadron dinner. His application has been submitted and is awaiting processing. Welcome, Mr. Fuller, to 505! We are happy to have you with us!
(3) As we have already noted, one of our senior members has informed us that he is unable to renew his membership, so our manpower will still be at 14. We can only accept this as a temporary situation, especially since minimum manpower for a composite squadron is 16. Let's do everything we can to recruit four or five new members, cadets or seniors, as soon as we can! For those of you who attend Beaty, I will try to arrange another visit soon. I will inform you in advance so you can tell some of your friends.
(4) It would be great to take some cadets to the Cadet Conference on Saturday, 17 April. Applications will be available at the next meeting, or you can download one by clicking here.

Semper Vigilans!

See you Tuesday!
