Runway Reminder
Please be aware that the ALERT runway continues to be used by student pilots and instructors on a daily basis. For the safety of everyone involved, please look carefully to the right and left before crossing the runway, even if the gates are up. We have had multiple instances of a vehicle crossing the runway when a plane was on final approach for landing.
Chicago Trip
There are some AV supplies needing to be taken back to Headquarters in the near future. If anyone is making a trip to the Chicago area this year, and you're available to take some equipment with you, please contact Bethany Vanderford. 
Advancement/Graduation Banquets
The Advancement Banquet and Formal Graduation Luncheon will be available to our staff at the reduced rate of $2/adult and $1.50/child. Please RSVP for the meals you plan to attend.
Battalion Update| SMaj. Hawley 
With the end of semester coming quickly upon us, we are striving to be purposeful in the short time we have left and finish well—both as individuals and as a group. Dive will finish their main classes this week as we make preparations for some of the battalion to deploy before Graduation. This is a busy time of year for us as we juggle classes, packing, cleaning, chorus events, and various Color Guard events at local churches and schools in honor of Veterans Day. Thank you for your prayers as we try to wrap everything up for this semester and strive to finish well!
Basic Training Update| Capt. Boulden
With only five days left in this Unit's training, it's hard to believe that Advancement Day is just around the corner. Most of the week will be spent in preparing for their Skills Demonstration, Field Drill and Ceremony, and Stage Presentation. We will begin to clean up, tear down, and pack gear near the end of the week. There will be an Officers' Reception on Thursday, November 9 at 3:30 pm in the Fieldhouse Gym. All active and reserve officers are invited to enjoy fellowship with the Unit. 

Please continue to pray that the men would continue to press on to the end and practice diligently for the ceremony. As we start to clean up and put things away, please let us know if you come across any gear from Basic Training, or if there are any training areas that are in need of our attention. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support over the last nine weeks!
