All,

This week's ES meeting will be taking place on Google Hangouts. We will be covering the following Skills:

O-0412 (Conduct Individual Actions On Find)
O-0407 (Conduct Attraction Techniques)
L-0001 (Basic Communications Procedures for ES Operations)

We will be starting the class at 1800 (6:00pm), so cadets can catch up with each other. Instruction will begin at 1830 (6:30pm).

 

Something that has been proposed by the staff is a second meeting on Fridays. Let us know your thoughts on this during the meeting. 

Finally, your Deputy Director for Cadets has this message for you all.

 

From the desk of the Polaris Composite Squadron, Deputy Commander for Cadets: Cadets, these are not easy times for you, your families, our CAP program, and our nation. I urge you to stay active, both physically, spiritually, and mentally at home. Use this time to better yourself as a person, as a student, and as a cadet. Our Cadet Program continues and is active; work on your tests, training, STEM, Rocketry, and for promotions this month. Look out for your fellow cadets and reach out to them. Senior Members are also a resource that you can utilize as well. In a message from our nation's revolution, Thomas Paine stated: "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." This can be easily applied in today's world, so let's step up, stay connected, lead, help others, and have fun as a team. - SSgt Lukic

I cannot stress enough, the importance of staying connected to one another. Reach out to any of us. Both your staff, and your fellow cadets. We are all in this together, and we will come out of it together. Carry on with your head held high and with no fear. 

Very Respectfully,

C/CMSgt. Paul P. Quebman, CAP

In order to enhance communication between cadet leadership, cadets, and parents, we will begin utilizing Remind app texting to your phones starting this March.

The messages will be sent by senior members before each meeting or event as an additional notification to the emails that are usually sent.

Several other CAP squadrons have found this additional communication very beneficial.
