FTX Updated Information

One of the squadrons hosting the FTX is having a fundraiser on Friday night, 14 May, so sign-in for the FTX will be at 0800 hrs, Saturday morning, 15 May, at the Venango County Airport.  I plan to be a the FTX only on Saturday, and will return to Warren on Saturday night so I can continue preparation for my work on Sunday.

Members who plan to attend the FTX need to bring their CAPF 101 card, membership card, and a CAPF 60 for sign-in.  I will also have copies of the CAPF 60 for each cadet who tells me he/she is attending.

I need to have a list of cadets from 505 who plan to attend.  My current list includes: C/2 Lt. Matheny, C/TSgt. Hagberg, C/TSgt. Matheny, C/SrA Peterson, and C/Amn. Peterson.  Please let me know if this list needs to be corrected.

The uniform of the day is BDUs.  The weather for Saturday is supposed to be partly sunny and 61, but be prepared for anything.  Bring a field jacket or coat in case you become wet and chilled.  Cadets who have 24 hr. gear should bring it.  Minimum gear should include work gloves, safety vest, hard hat, and safety glasses.  If planning to bivouac overnight on Saturday, bring a tent and sufficient bedding to stay warm.  Cadets should also bring enough food for themselves.  A change of socks would be a good idea, and perhaps a pair of waterproof boots, if available.  I plan to provide a couple of cases of bottled water.

If your cadet does not have some of the needed gear, please inform me right away (8146886940) and I will try to round up what is needed.

Cadets who have incomplete SQTRs should be sure to bring them.  I will have blank SQTRs available, if needed.

Finally, parents, please be sure that I have current emergency contact information for your children, and please make a note of my cell phone number (above).  If you have a cellular device with texting capability, please provide me with the number, if I do not already have it.
