Hurricane Sandy

2-3 e. General Emergency Services (GES).  To participate in emergency services training or operations, personnel must be current traditional members (not patrons, cadet sponsors, AEMs, or legislative members) having  completed level one and cadet protection training (senior members) or achievement one (cadets).

Got it. We can still teach it, especially if the Lv1 is complete and awaiting processing, but no credit to be received until Lv1 credit is complete.

We had a new SM start this summer. We did a full Level 1 class for him and then right into GES, the idea being he gets started off quickly. I know there are new members that don't want to be heavily involved in ES ops, but there are few people that would balk at helping in an emergency. Mentoring new members into Curry & Level 1 plus GES quickly is a good foundation to CAP overall.

My wing has two crews working.  One issue is the new incoming storms which will likely put things on hold for a bit.

Something that just struck me - assuming they didn't vote absentee, these guys will not be able to cast a ballot.

Bummer.

I hope they get a chance to vote.  Stay safe.

I had dinner with those crews last night, Bob. Those that didn't vote absentee before leaving are hosed.   Fanboy is in that boat.   He's got Skyfall tickets for Wednesday night, too, he's gonna miss that.  Bummer.

ETA: Wait, they're from Chicago. Vote Early, Vote Often, right?

MIWG has three crews/AC over there.

As a quick aside, I met Col. Burke this summer at the SAREVAL. Knowing both of you were MIWH cadets, I asked him if he knew you. He raised his eyebrows and replied with a hesitant "...yeeesss..." It was kinda' funny.

Back to the thread at hand.

New York Wing spends more than 1000 man-hours helping Red Cross load food.  One might argue that this sort of effort is probably actually more useful than all the aerial photographs we took.

I don't think anyone posted this link yet, or at least I didn't see it.
