NERPA505 Update for the Week of 6 Feb 2011

Hello 505!  I am a bit behind due to being out of town for a while, so pleas be patient with me while I try to get caught up.

(1) Let's plan for Tuesday to be "Safety Day" for 505 (subject to change per Capt. Hagberg).  As of this year, there will be no more Safety Down Day in October.  The day has be renamed "Safety Day" and must be held in the first quarter of the year.  If you cannot make it to Safety Day, it will need to be made up so it can be entered into your personal record for safety compliance.  This important change is referenced in the The Safety Beacon — Civil Air Patrol's Safety Newsletter — January 2011.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.
(2) Dates to remember:
