Good morning, here is the News:
Team Meeting—Tomorrow Night, Wednesday, 10 April,
6:00pm—7:00pm in the Mira Mesa Senior Center. This will be a general
review of the ICS command structure, with a special emphasis on
Logistics. Please bring some paper and your preferred writing
instrument, we'll have some hands-on work. Logistics is not
necessarily hard, it's just somewhat of a different mindset. Under our
most likely circumstances it can require a fair amount of really creative
thinking. See you there.
Upcoming Training—Hopefully some of you made it into
tonight's triage CE. If you did, please let us know, and we hope that you
can join us for a meeting in the near future to share what you learned.
We'll have more notice for most of them. That said, we have approval to
hold at least one Refresher sometime in the next month. Due to the length
of these drills (usually 4 hours or so), it will probably be on a
weekend. Those of you who have been with us for awhile know that there
is really only one strategy for refreshers; as soon as you enter a two-year
qualifying window, grab the very first one you can possibly get to. Don't
wait, they have a nasty habit of being scarce when you need one, and there is
no way to replace a refresher. I (Steve) personally enjoy them quite a
bit, there is always something new to learn and it's a good tune-up of basic
skills. If you currently hold a DSW card and you have never taken a
Refresher, you need one. If you aren't sure, please ask.
This Saturday's CE—You should have all received a
direct communication from our Program Manager Carie DeMarco regarding another
CE this Saturday. If you DID NOT get anything from Carie, please let Jen
or me know right away.
All for this week. See you at the meeting.
-Steve
