Lt Col Roger Middleton, serving as NCC Chief of Staff, is looking for assistance in staffing the 2007 National Cadet Competition that will be held at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH from 28Jun-1Jul.

Here is a description of what he is looking for:
I am particularly interested in hearing from members (Cadet and Senior) who would be interested in serving on the volunteer staff. Responsibilities range from set-up and tear down of various locations, communications, vehicle ops, event marshalling and just whatever else may need doing. Cadets should ideally be at least 15, with the grade of C/MSgt, although preference will go to cadet officers. Seniors will generally require to be qualified radio operators with a current CAP Driver's ID.

If you are interested in assisting please let me know and I will coordinate with him.

Thanks!
