NERPA505 Update for the week of 17 Oct 2010

Hello 505!  C/2 Lt Matheny and I returned from the PA Wing Conference and Banquet this afternoon. Capt Habgerg, Maj Brown and C/MSgt Hagberg returned yesterday evening.  It was a good conference, and worth the time invested.  I got a lot out of it, as I am certain that everyone did.

(1) Tuesday is ES emphasis night.  We'll introduce a new portion of ground team work and be sure SQTRs and ratings are up to date.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.
(2) Re. the Cadet Staff, an opportunity for PT training and testing will be provided.
(3) Capt Hagberg, Maj Brown, C/2 Lt Matheny and C/MSgt Hagberg will brief the squadron on information from the PA WIng Conference.
(4) Dates to remember:

• Joint Group 1/Group 6 Aerospace Education workshop for senior members and cadets, hosted by Squadron 123, at the New Castle National Guard Armory on 30 Oct. Inform Capt. Hagberg or Ch. Matheny if you plan to go. We need to be registered no later than 27 Oct. & there will be a 5.00 charge at the door.
  
• Squadron 503 plans to host a Survival Training Weekend on 13-14 Nov. Members who are interested should inform Capt. Hagberg or Ch. Matheny.
• Remember: 26 Oct. is our Fall Open House! There will be invitation fliers available during the squadron meeting and a PDF copy is posted on the squadron blog. The Open House is the centerpiece of our Fall recruiting drive, so all of us should be inviting as many people as we can and showing them how enthusiastic we are about our unique service to our community, state nation! We need all of our senior members and cadets to plan to turn out and support our effort.
  

   Semper Vigilans!    See you Tuesday, and don't forget to invite a friend! Be proud of who you are and what you do in CAP!
