Current Communications
Current information from around the squadron:
- Uniform Questions
- Civil Air Patrol has begun a transition from our current ABU uniform to an OCP unform. Both uniforms are authorized until ~November 2028 so there is no need to purchase a new uniform any time soon. The squadron currently has a reasonable stock of surplus ABU uniforms and will continue to issue them to new cadets until we exhaust supplies.
