Senior Patrol Leader - Tristan Walters.
Everyone concerned had an excellent time. Special recognition is due to Tristan for the outstanding job he did as SPL, and to all the patrols for finishing the course and getting their ribbons on Saturday. Especially good were the Invisible Stalkers, who came in 2nd Place overall in their category, Young Patrols who took the OLDER PATROL route on the events!
I spoke with LTC Knie, our Chartering Organization Chairman and Representative. He signed off on the Rechartering packet, and will attempt to help us in several ways:
- Making photocopying equipment available for troop needs.
- Evaluating hand receipting computer equipment to the troop that V Corps, STB might otherwise turn in.
- Direct interested soldiers with teaching skills towards our troop.
