Senior Reminders

Seniors,

Our next meeting will be Tuesday (6/16), there are a number of things that we need to go over. I need as many of you to attend as possible.

UOD: AF Blues, Corporate Alternative Uniform or CAP Polo.

1. Duty Assignments: There are a number of you who do not have a duty assignment, you will be receiving one next meeting. I would like to put each of you in a position that you are interested in and are willing to do your best to fulfill. You will not have the option of not taking a duty assignment, there is no way a squadron can run well without the support of all of the senior members.

2. Specialty Tracks: Those of you who have not yet chosen a specialty track need to look over the 200 series of CAPPs here: http://www.capmembers.com/forms_publications__regulations/pamphlets.cfm. Please come ready to tell me what specialty track you would like to pursue.

If you are currently enrolled in a specialty track that you have lost interest in, we can assign a new one on Tuesday.

3. SUI Checklists: I will be distributing the SUI checklist for each duty assignment. Over the course of the next few months we will begin to prepare a notebook with all of the required information in it, as well as make sure all of our current plans/procedures are up to regulation. There are a number of things that we need to have on file (hardcopy) and keep up to date. Starting next year, Wing will be inspecting each unit and I want our unit to pass with flying colors.

4. Form 60's: I have already sent out a .pdf version of the new CAPF 60, I have also attached a word version to this email. We need everyone to complete a new Form 60 to keep on their person as well as one that we can keep on file at the squadron.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, comments or concerns. Remember, I am here to support you.

All my best,

As soon as we do you will receive an email as well as be notified via call down.

I have received a few applications for staff, but not enough. Please apply, part of your responsibilities as a cadet is to take on leadership positions, if you are not willing to take a leadership position, you will not promote.
