What kind of facility do you meet in?

[The CyBorg is destroyed]

^^You read my mind.  I was wondering "where are Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto?"

1st squadron - Church with 2 classrooms and parking lot for drill/PT
2nd Squadron - AR base using 1 building with full amenities
3rd squadron - municipal building with multiple rooms and large gym/auditorium for drill/pt
4th squadron - trailor near municpal airport for bird. no amenties but free
5th squadron - Church with 1 dedicated classroom and access to others minimal space for drill

None included paying for the facility. Phones and internet we had to pay for except for last squadron. This unit has been with the church since 1968. Cooperation and commuinication was the key to keep these facilities. First four locations are gone over a 20 year period.

Rampart.. this is Squad 51. 

Saddly, most of the kids here have no idea what we're talking about.

Station 51, 10-4. KMG 365. <----can you tell I am the squadron comm officer?  :-)

The 3502 Biocom Biophone still stands as the single coolest piece of technology every invented by mankind, never to be surpassed.

There are no excessive superlatives to the level of astonished amazement experienced by the average 8-10 year old the first time he
sees one of those bad boys in action.

It was the documented cause of hundreds of Space Food Stick-related choking and eye injuries.

My squadron meets in an office building at a local airport. Pretty small but big enough for our activities.

My cable system has a channel that is entirely "old" shows...EMERGENCY!, ADAM-12, Rockford....I'm loving introducing my 4 year old to all the stuff I watched as a kid. And I agree with Eclipse...that Biophone still leaves me gobsmacked.

Julie London (Nurse Dixie) was one of my first adolescent crushes.

I expected every nurse to be as pretty as her, and every physician to be as supremely competent as Doctors Brackett and Early.

My wife is a huge fan of Emergency! and we have the first couple of seasons on DVD.

I wonder...did CAP figure in any TV show like that, for SAR, "eye in the sky" helping ES people, etc?

My 10 YO twins love to watch Emergency, they started years ago when I got Season 1 on DVD.  It is on Netflix, too. 

Also, if you want the Bio Com Telemetry Radio and you have $238, you can get it here:  http://www.pennstatemfg.com/product.sc?productId=960

Brother, if I came home with that, my wife would gobsmack me     And about 5 seconds after I posted my last response, I was checking out the prices...lol

I have a vague memory of a show centered around a San Diego County Sheriff SAR Team called 240-Robert, and think that there was some CAP mention in that. You've given me my research project for the evening...

UPDATE:  It was LA county...big shock there....and it starred Mark Harmon...who knew? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/240-Robert

But the paramedics responding to pick up the pieces would be really impressed when they got there and saw an old-school Biophone.

They probably wouldn't know what it is. Remember, those came out 45 years ago...

"Hey, didn't I see one of these on Emergency!?"

[Panache]

Not to mention, at least up here, some of the paramedics are... very well seasoned.  They may have actually used one.

Of course, this was back in the late '70s, but the paramedics where I grew up had one of those.

They also had a rescue squad truck identical in make and model to "Squad 51"...only the markings were different.  When they would go on a run it looked like the opening credits of Emergency!

National Guard base.  We meet in the drill hall (and now outside).
