So after I jumped through hoops attempting to get 'buy in' from my wing & NHQ 'higher ups' on my going to Keesler AFB to participate in the 'First Ever' Blogger Media Flight with the 403rd Wing, Hurricane Hunters, I decided to not spend the money to fly to Gulfport-Biloxi to cover the event for 'Volunteer Magazine' as I had wanted to do. The intent was to create a story that tells what our parent service is doing in regards to Hurricane's and how we, as the Civil Air Patrol perform post storm damage assessment, search and rescue, etc.

Little did I know, but my friend Scott F. Murphy, decided to go. If I had known, I would have most certainly joined him. At this point, I'll chalk it up to not following my gut instinct when I really should have. Ah well, next time.

Well, either way, I had other things to keep me busy; such as setup the new Color Guard equipment we purchased for the cadet squadron I'm Deputy Commander of, and to get the parade banner redesigned for the parades we plan on participating in this year. We had a good meeting too, had two new prospective cadets show up!

Well, anyways, to go along with the new blog, I setup a Twitter page for those times that I don't want to, or need to log onto the site to make updates. It's outfitted in a similar design to the site; I love Photoshop. :-) Oh, and there's also a badge on the right side of the main page too!
