Staff Meeting held at PIZZA PARLOR

Kingsville, Texas- All Squadron Cadets were invited to attend the first meeting of SUMMER 2011 on Tuesday, 31 May 2011 at the Pizza Parlor in Kingsville, Texas.  However, due to an error on a calendar issued earlier this month attendance was small.  Instead, a staff meeting was held since the Coastal Bend Cadet Squadron Command and Cadet NCO Corps was present. The agenda discussed the up coming prototype CAMP OUT and O-FLIGHT Activities for the summer.  It was an opportunity to conduct an Awards Ceremony for all the promotions to NCO grade.

New and first ever Coastal Bend Cadet Squadron NCO Corps.  Next year's training cycle will see the inclusion of these NCOs as Flight Sergeants.  Pictured here are C/SSgt Juan Cardec, C/SSgt Juan Vela, Jr, C/SSgt Savahanna Jimenez and C/SSgt Robert Alcantara. 

Promotions included Cadets Juan Vela, Jr, Robert Alcantara and Juan Cardec who were promoted to C/SSgt and the presentation of ENCAMPMENT SCHOLARSHIP to First Sergeant S/SSgt Savahanna Jimenez.  Cadet Jimenez will receive the scholarship once she applies to an encampment.

Hurricane Season, which starts on 1 June 2011, was discussed along with the need for volunteers to support such activity if necessary.  Cadets will have to “self-train” in Federal Emergency Management Classes on line.  No cadet can deploy without all those courses which include...
