FTX This Weekend

Cadets,

I have now been notified regarding the FTX this weekend. It is not cancelled, it will be happening.

We will have a sign up sheet tonight, please sign it if you think you will be going as I need to turn in a participation letter.

I have attached the Operations Plan and will also have them available tonight if you plan on attending.

We will be leaving Friday afternoon and Returning Sunday night. I'll have the exact times for you tonight.

Cadet Reminders

Cadets,

I apologize once again that this email is going out late, I just drove in from California.

This week's meeting (3/31) will be Promotion Review Boards, Promotions, Moral Leadership and Change of Command.

UOD: AF Blues

Please come prepared for the Promotion Review Board if you plan on promoting. There will be a panel interviewing you, comprised of both Senior Members and Cadet Leadership. Study your D&C manual to ensure that you remember how to report correctly. 

If you plan on taking one, you will need to request the Promotion Review Board by filling out your information on a CAPF 50, I will make those available to you at the meeting. In the future, you will request a Promotion Review Board the week before we hold them.

Upcoming Events:

April 1 - Encampment Deposit Due

April 4 - Cadet O-Rides - Details TBA this week if the weather cooperates. 

The FTX that was planned for April 3-6 appears not to be happening as an Operations Plan has not been released to the Wing.

April 18 - Wing Cadet Competition

As always, if you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me.
