Congratulations to WOI Lavoie (Cadet Squadron Commander) and WOII Giansante (Deputy Cadet Squadron Commander) on their recent promotions. We look forwawrd to a great year under your leadership.
Tagging this wknd – CHECK YOUR SHIFTS
Cadets please make an effort to double check your shifts this wknd. We’re not sure if there has just been a miscommunication, but ultimately the list HERE tagging-dec-2016 is the correct one (it is the same as the one posted late Wed night). It is your responsibility (not your parents/guardians) to ensure you know where you’re supposed to be and when.
Parents please accept our apologies for any inadvertent confusion and/or last minute panic tonight. As an FYI, we will call your cadet 15 mins after the beginning of their expected shift if they have not yet arrived.
Looking forward to the rest of a great tagging weekend.
Capt Palumbo, CD
CO 809 Newark
