Two new cadets have complete applications:

- Cadet Basic Mason Dennis of Baton Rouge. Dennis attends Baton Rouge High School.

UNIFORMS:
Thanks to the abundance of uniforms Lt Col Collins and C/SSgt Blank acquired from Warner High School, we were able to fit ALL cadets with complete Class A Blues, including the semi-formal service coat and the light weight wind breaker. Any Senior members needing blue shirts should give C/SSgt Blank and note with your Neck size and if you want a Long Sleeve shirt, your chest size as well. We also have many Wind breakers left.
What we do need ASAP is Cadet Flight caps. We have some cadets who no longer participate. If you know of any, please see if we can get uniforms returned.
