2818 Weekly Email -November 25 - December 1

Hello Everyone

Thanks to everyone who is participating with our Tag Day event this weekend. If you cannot fill your shift, please let us know as we realize things can happen at the last minute.

Things are about to slow down for us as we enter into the Christmas season. After this weekend, our next big event is our Mess Dinner. For our new families, this is a formal dinner where we dress in our finest to celebrate the season and the unit. If your cadet has not been issued a dress uniform, please have them wear nice pants and a white shirt (no FTU's). More details for this event will follow next week.

Here are our upcoming events:
