Safety Briefings and Introduction to Safety Requirement

Aerospace Night  Uniform of the day is BDU

We have 8 slots for glider flights for the weekend, 4 June 2011. This will be a first come first serve activity see Lt. Coffman if you would like to go flying.

Boards and Drill test are available, remember all testing is done on-line now. 

A few of you have not completed the Safety requirements according to regulation. Check your personal information on eServices (gocivilairpatrol.com) to see if you are "Not in Compliance".

If not--regs say you can only come to the next meeting to get into compliance. I will be there to help you learn how, but we can't do it for you. Taking the Intro to Safety on line is a lot easier than trying to take the written test. The Testing Officer must set up a time for you to be tested also. Since you need to have a passing score of 80%, you may need to take it more than once. You can take it on line as many times as you need to. Once you pass it, be sure to check the box for it to be "recorded", it won't be saved or recorded otherwise and you will have to start over.

If you need a Safety Education, please take it online as well. There are several short and simple Safety Education courses which will take just a few minutes.

Safety is a priority this year, and all members have been asked to comply. If you see an unsafe situation, please pass it up the chain of command or directly to any safety officer or the Unit Commander. Any kind of injury, slight or otherwise, must be report immediately. We also have a Cadet Safety Officer now. Please check with any Safety Officer for questions.

I am out of town until June 1st, but you can email me at susanhkc7@gmail.com with questions or for help. I'm currenly out of phone range.

Character Development Night - uniform of the day is Blues.

Last week to take tests at the squadron - from this point forward, all tests (except milestones) will be done on-line.  If you have questions, please ask.

Also, On-line tests are "open book" - so have a copy of the chapter available for reference when taking the test.

Leadership Night - Uniform of the Day is BDUs

There are new testing procedures posted - remember, all testing (except milestones) will be done on line starting 1 June.   If you have questions on how to do on-line testing, contact Capt Pratt or 2Lt Pratt for details.

O-Flights this weekend - (third try is the charm) - Flights will start at 0800 and run until the flight crews can't fly anymore.   We will be conducting a road clean up and floor buffing while other cadets are flying.   When they land, we swap out teams and continue working.   No cost to participate - squadron is paying for everything.    You might want to bring $5 for lunch (not provided).

The Open House went great last week.  We had three new prospective cadets show up.   Remember not to forget the ones we already have.  Call and see why someone isn't showing up.
