PARENTS / ADULTS we need your help!

Hey! We need parents to work the St Pats day parade. Think about it, how many cars would you have to wash, candy you would have to sell or sponsors you would have to get to clear $55 cash for the squadron? A LOT. Get both parents, aunts, uncles....etc to marshal (watch) the parade and earn $55 for each person for the squadron.... Must be 21 years-old or older. EASY MONEY!

Due to technical difficulties, the hover craft did not fly tonight. It will be operational next month for Aerospace night. Perhaps we can get more reports.
GENERAL MEETING ADJOURNED @ 19:40
CADET ANNOUNCEMENTS:
**See Email regarding Washington DC trip. There will be rank requirements and some of you will have to work hard to meet them, others will not meet them and will not be able to attend this trip. There will be others in the future. On a trip like this, we must ensure that those attending are very capable of managing themselves and therefore minimum grade for this trip will be Senior Airman. Other requirements were discussed and will be in an email to come out this week.
** eServices has a report that renders the recent promotion tracking form obsolete. If you have not seen it, there is a link on the left column of eServices called Cadet Promotion Tracking report. Monitor this report to ensure that your information has been entered.
**Leadership expectations reiterated. Last week we discussed these as it relates to Phase I and Phase II cadets. Note that all cadets are to help junior cadets with uniform issues as well as knowing what to do and how to do it. When a Jr Cadet is identified as being out of compliance, it is not a reflection on that cadet (he/she does not know better) it is the cadets around that are noted as having a deficiency.
**Academy / CTEP - Let C/Dpty Commander Sgt Kelley know if you are going. He will be coordinating this trip. NOTE: If you have not had ALS or been to encampment, this is a must for the Washington Trip.
**O-Flights: The following cadets will have O-Flights this weekend, Cadet Pike, Tuggle, Gaudin, Snyder. See Sgt Blank for what you need to know. NOTE: You MUST have complete uniform to fly.
Drill Instruction: C/First Sgt Blank transferred the responsibility of Drill to Cadet Sr Arm Gaudin who will be stepping into the position of Flight Sgt. Blank will be Flight Commander as well as First Sgt.
