NERPA505 Update

Greetings 505!  I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather!  The turnout by the squadron for our Open House was great, too.  Everyone did an excellent job!  Remember, this is the beginning of our spring recruiting drive, so let's invite someone new to every meeting!  CAP is not for everyone, but no one can know for sure until they are invited to check us out!

(1) Tuesday is Character Development and Leadership emphasis.  The uniform of the day is BDUs.  Cadets need to attend one Character Development class per achievement.
(2) Re. C/2 Lt. Matheny, Leadership discussion will include proper wear of the CAP uniform and customs and courtesies.
(3) The following individuals have been pre-registered for the ROA class on 13 Mar: SM Fuller, C/2 Lt. Matheny, C/SSgt. Hagberg, C/SSgt. Matheny, C/Amn. Johnson.  Anyone else desiring to attend should notify Capt. Hagberg or the Communications Officer, Ch. Capt. Matheny, as soon as possible.

  Semper Vigilans!      See you Tuesday!
