Meeting Topic: Leadership  

Uniform of the Day: BDU

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Item 1: BDU UNIFORMS! Boots, pant, blouse and BDU flat top cover, are available through the Wing. Utah Wing has purchased a number of various sizes, and are making those uniforms available to the membership. 
You can get a full set for $20 total. If you need a full uniform, or if you need one or two of those four parts, let the command staff know what you need ASAP. 
Individual uniform parts are $6.00 a piece (which is anything less than all four parts). We will need to notify the Wing staff what we need. This is not a retail situation, where you can show up at the Wing building anytime, and buy stuff, so we need to do some arranging, but this will not be difficult, nor will it have to take a long time, so figure out what you need, and put a list together now.
Sizes are not guaranteed, but chances are we can get you outfitted. If you already have a uniform, you can still buy a new set, and then you will have a set for squadron, and a set you can wear for FTXs. There is no rule that says you can't take advantage of this opportunity just because you already have a set. There is no rule which limits 1 set per member either.
These uniforms are new or used but good condition. JUMP ON THIS NOW. If this program works well, the Wing may continue, and buy more next year. If no one needs uniforms, and the Wing is stuck with all those uniforms, they will likely not do this again. Its not free, but you will not see a full set of uniforms in this good condition for this little money again.

Item 2: The Squadron Change of Command ceremony will be on 5 December this year. This will be on a regular Thursday meeting, at the normal times.Make sure you have your best blues uniform put together and ready now. There's time to make sure you have all the ribbons you should have put together and ready.

Item 3: The Squadron year end banquet will again be held at the Friends of Eagles reception hall, and is being scheduled for February. Stay tuned for more details as they are posted. Again, you need your best blues uniform. Any cadet may wear a tie, and service coat if you have one for the banquet.

Item 4: RMR Cadet Leadership School will be held here in Utah Wing, 27-30 Dec 2013 at Camp Williams. 
$100 fee covers everything but transport to and from. 
You must be a MSgt or higher, and have already attended at least one encampment to go. 
In order to make LtCol, you have to have a Region Cadet Leadership School on your record. More information to come.

Item 5: Desert Hawk XII Encampment has been scheduled for 14-21 Jun 2014. There is not yet any info on staff applications or cost. Encampment is usually at least/between $100 to $150 so plan and start saving now. More information to come.

Item 6: NCSAs. The National Cadet Special Activities have already begun announcing for 2014. Starting on 1 December (next month) all of the NCSAs will be on e services for applications, and payments. Check out the NCSAs now, and get ready to apply between 1 Dec and 15 Jan, so NOT A LOT OF TIME TO DECIDE TO APPLY.

STANDING ORDERS
1. If you are ready for a drill test, a milestone written test, a speech or a review board, you must log in right here PRIOR to Wednesday at 1700 hours. There will not be time to schedule these on Thursday when you arrive for the meeting.On line testing (Leadership and Aerospace Tests) must be completed before a drill test will be given.
