Many regular visitors to the website have undoubtedly noticed that it has been non-operational for the past couple months. Thankfully, we’ve fixed the problem and we’re back up and running. We’ll start to get some new content flowing onto the site in short order.
One of the downsides of having the website down was that our steady trickle of new cadets stopped. It might be coincidence that new cadets stopped coming just at the same time as the website was down, but more likely we’ve been getting the word out about Squadron 56 through the website. Hopefully now that we’re back up and running, we’ll start to see some new faces. But we’re not banking on it! Instead, we’re starting to push for more recruiting within the squadron.
One great thing about the squadron right now is that we have many new Cadet Staff Sergent and Cadet Senior Airman. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough staff positions for all of them. The only way we’re going to open up new staff positions for these cadets is by growing the squadron and increasing the number of flights. Hopefully we’ll be able to see this grown in short order.
There are a number of activities coming up in the next few months. They include:
- Non-Commissioned Officer School (NCOS)-North – 8-10 Jan 2010
- Basic Cadet School - 4-6 Dec 2009
- National Cadet Special Activities – Various
