NERPA505 Update for the Week of 6 Mar 2011

Hello 505!  Here is the Squadron Update for this week.

(1) Re. Maj. Brown, Dep. Commander for Cadets:

• Based on our schedule, this week our two educational blocks include Leadership and Character Development. Each educational block will be approximately 50 minutes long. Commander Hagberg's winter dress rule says BDU's are in.
• C2Lt Matheny has asked to have the first educational block to work on drill with the cadets. 
• Chaplain Capt Matheny will conduct Character Development in the other educational block. We also need to make sure that all new cadets have ordered their uniforms.

(2) Cadets and senior members please take note of the Cadet Conference and Wing Commanders Call item below in "Dates to remember."  Those who plan to attend need to notify Capt. Hagberg as soon as possible so adequate transportation arrangements can be worked out, and so registrations can be submitted.  Seats for the Cadet Dining In are limited, so those who wish to attend it must be registered soon.  Registration fees for cadets will be paid by the squadron.
(3) Dates to remember:

• 12-13 Mar 11, Group 6 Squadron Leadership School.  More details to follow.
• 19 Mar, Color Guard Competition at State College, PA.
  
• 30 Apr 11, PA Wing Cadet Conference & PA Wing Commanders Call, Fort Indiantown Gap.  Cadets and senior members must register (cost $25.00 also covers light breakfast and Cadet Dining In - senior members are also encouraged to attend to support the cadets) at http://pawgcadetprograms.webs.com.
  
• 30 Apr-8 May, PA Wing Aircrew Mission School.
• 18-25 Jun 11, Basic Cadet Encampment & Cadet Leadership School, Fort Indiantown Gap.
