I know these questions have been asked before, but when I searched, I couldn't find what I was looking for.
Has anyone bought a recent version of Vanguard's Scanner/Observer and/or Ground Team Logbooks? What are your thoughts? Do you recommend them?
Also, if anyone could post a picture of both, with the pages opened, that would be great. I found an old post that had them, but the pictures were no longer available. Thank you!
AFAIK, the insides are no different. Only the binding on the MO/MS seems to have changed.
I have one of each, and they document the sorties in a manner acceptable to me.
I haven't seen them. Can you please post a picture of the pages? Thanks.
Having a record of ES sortie/mission participation is pretty important when it comes to applying for certain service ribbons (Counter Drug, Air Search and Rescue, etc.)
I created a spreadsheet based upon the Vanguard ES Logbooks that you might find helpful. The spreadsheet has two worksheets - one for ground team, one for aircrew. It pretty much mirrors the fields in the paper version.
I hope you find it helpful.
Thanks for the attachment. I may be able to use this with my iPad.
They might do better to have a more generic CAP mission logbook that could be used for all positions. I now wish I had kept better track of missions where I was serving on base staff.
I think the logbooks provided by vanguard and while they appear to be a valuable tool. I think the quality is somewhat lacking. It's looks like something I could mass produce for about $3.00 a piece but they charge $13.00.

Hurry and download it before the C&D comes ;)
I setup a spreadsheet that prints identically to a logbook format sometime back, because I found it a lot easier to enter the data electronically.

Thanks, ShotGun!
Thank you, I just filled in information from the weekends mission. I am glad you posted it because I was just about to create something like this so this was a huge help.
