[Mankato] Meeting 9/9/21

[Alex Mayo]

Commander's Remarks: 
Summer is officially over and with the fall comes the opportunity to focus our efforts to have our squadron become mission ready. This week SM Dyer and CMSgt Beiswanger will be leading our first training block in Emergency Services. This will be part of our steady march to becoming mission ready and fulfilling one of our three missions. 

We will also be planning for our squadron based UBX (Unit Based Exercise). We will be planning an emergency services exercise in the field. This will require a lot of planning, coordination and participation from every CAP member, so plan to attend this week’s meeting with SM Dyer. 

Cadet’s don’t forget to sign-up for Cyber Patriots so you can represent us in the Wing Competitions. Training will begin soon with SM Natrakul. We have a top notch office space in which to practice, super fast internet and a professional cyber security professional leading our team. Become part of this winning team and sign-up today.
