with all proceeds being donated to thesquadron. If you would like to donate

SPRING CLEANING & BENEFIT THESQUADRON AT THE SAME TIME!

Hello 2012! 2012 opens, I would like to take a few moments to thank all cadets and seniors for therticipation and contribution to Squadron 47s successes in 2011. Our squadron was filled with

any achievements, such as bringing home the National Cadet Competition Color Guard tropain, and the first BCS on Pendleton. I am especially proud of the new seniors who have picke

the energy and have taken the squadron on a whole new adventure. With our continudition of excellence, we will continue to train and provide a quality leadership program for nly the cadets but also for the seniors. I would venture to say 2012 will bring an increase uadron sponsored activities such as another BCS, ATS, NAV training ES training and rocketrbotics, and remote control flying. Lets not forget the outstanding job our senior staff has done ovide our cadets with Orientation rides. I think we should look into watching some practice nige on base by the active duty Marines. That would be educational and quite cool. With yontinued participation and help during our events, we will continue to lead California and th

egion in 2012. As Deputy Commander for Cadets I've witnessed the growth of basic cadets anior cadets that to this day still amaze me at what they are capable of doing. We will see mo

blic speaking and presentations from our cadets in 2012 and a renewed effort to continually raie bar of excellence in all we do. I would like to thank D13 for my new position and all of thallenges it brings, and to the rest of the seniors for supporting me in my new role. 2012 will sta

with a bang with our planned events of a garage sale with all donations going to thuadron. Again, thank you very much, and Happy New Year!
