December 25th

Merry Christmas Phoenix Cadet Squadron!!

Reminder - our next meeting is set for January 7th, 2010 - Squadron Blgd - uniform of the day will be BDUs.

I want to get the word out about a program that the Wing has asked us to take on. Our Squadron has been tasked with heading up the newly formed Utah Wing Emergency Service Communications Program. Specifically, we (and by that I mean cadets & senior members) would be tasked to respond to "real world" call outs - set up a communication center for local Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue Teams, Search Aircraft, and ground teams in the field. Real world call outs include missing people, downed planes, and disaster responses.

This isn't a program where individual participation is mandatory - but if you want to participate - you will be trained and used on deployments.

Details will be briefed at the next meeting (since I don't have all of them myself right now)- but I'm looking for some initial comments on what your thoughts are.

Pass this information on via text, IM, Facebook, etc.. to our members so we can have some discussion about it in January.
