Polaris Composite Squadron Meeting Notes

• This will be a short meeting so we can conduct Flight Release Officer Training afterward.
  
  
• The March mission numbers B12 & B17 missions are posted on the reader board.
  
  
• A GPS unit may be given to any squadron that might want to use it in a squadron vehicle for ELT searches. It will also be used to determine the vehicle usage. If anyone thinks we need it for our squadron vehicle, see Kevin. Most of us use our own vehicles to ELT ground searches.
