CADET ORIENTATION PILOTS:

The wing has money to spend on cadet orienta-

tion flights and take full advantage of it! Call

LTC Darrell Nelson today to schedule your ca-det O’Rides. None can be scheduled past 15

your cadets in the air!!

flights are entered into WIMRS only by LTC

C-17 and B-12 flights.

AE CORNER: Summer is in full bloom and

with it comes many city events. Find an event

happening in your city and get your squadron

involved! Contact your local Chamber of Com-merce for a list of events that CAP can par-

ticipate in and get the word out there and jus

have some fun as a unit activity!
