Aerospace night - uniform of the day: BDUs

Major Sqdn Fund Raising activity this weekend (4th) - Huck-a-puck - All cadets should plan on attending one of them. See Lt Facemyer for details and schedule. **UPDATE 4th only**

Boards and testing is available this week. Remember that you need to have your safety briefing up to date to be promoted. See Lt Chamberlin, Lt Lindgren or SM Nielson to make sure you're up to date.

Side note: I heard that the cadets arranged to have the volloyball court tied up with the guard. I'm not surprised that they didn't want to be embarrassed by getting beat by Sr Members. Hmmm, do I hear a challenge??????

Feb 24th

PT Night - come out and take on the Sr members in a game of Volley Ball (yes, we will win....)

This week is also the Monthly Safety Briefing. It is required to attend at least one of these briefing month to participate & promote in CAP.

Testing is available 24/7 on line. Just a reminder that we will be switching to 100% on-line testing in June. Try it out now while you still have time to make sure you understand what is needed to pass these new style tests.

There is a SAREX (Search And Rescue Exercise) this weekend (25th/26th) in Logan Utah. See C/Lt Stewart for additional information. **UPDATE** SAREX is Cancelled due to weather.
