The website is OK, however one of the links leads to a squadron forum that has a foreign host.  The forum is hosted in Poland and I see the possiblity of serious OPSEC violations.  Forum entries so far seem to be safe, but there are only 8 members.

Good point. One of my cadets made the forum (with my permission) for the cadets in my squadron to ask questions and get answers.
However, I was not aware that it was hosted by a server in Poland! Looks like I have something to deal with..

Per CAPR 110-1, you may want to make sure the disclaimer is on your website. Something like:
"Links or references to individuals or companies does not constitute an endorsement of any information, product or service you may receive from such sources."

I revamped the website again.

Please take a look, and tell me what you think.

Thanks :)

Looks good -- but the embedded squadron calendar at the bottom of the index page is coming up as a missing page.

So, are you really going to let just anybody submit an attendance form for your meetings?   It's open to the public.  I just sent a response indicating that I won't be there because I'm not a member.  Fortunately, I'm "nice".  What if I actually want to inject some SQL there...hmmm?!  I recommend reconsidering.

Why republish National forms/info?  And you do know that cadet master records are now maintained in e-Services, right?

As mentioned, calendar is problematic.

Closer but still some work to do...

I understand, but I dont have a way to password protect a page. I'm not sure how.

Then get rid of it.

I have found it MORE than useful for my squadron. It gets rid of the old days of telephone call outs. I just need to find a way to secure it.

Today, we have email.

The telephone call outs work great and ensure a positive communicating environment between the flight staff and it's members. :)

Put it in its own directory, look up .htaccess password protection.  Very easy to do.  Just download Notepad++ to create the .htaccess password files.

The photos flashing on the mainpage, I'd suggest rewording the "Emergency Services" section.  We don't do 85% of the SAR in the country.  The 85% stat was "as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center" not "all SAR."

And also the first picture on the home page is showing a mirror image, therefore we see a cadet saluting with his left arm and wearing his ribbon on the right chest...  :angel:

You need to collect old pictures from the last 10 years and post them.  Do not ask why.  Just get it done.  Quickly.

I tried that with my unit's website here in CAWG.  Aparrently our servers don't support it.  I thought that was one of the most basic things you could do...?

JC004

If you couldn't, you were probably on a WINDOWS server.

By the way, one of the former 207 cadets from long ago likes the site.

a2capt

IIS doesn't support it universally, if at all a lot of the times.
Apache does.
Guess which that CAWG server at that time was using? :)

.. and it still is, for some people at least.
