Hi, David, I'm relatively new to this chat room, and I thought I'd introduce myself. So you work with the cadets? Interesting; I was a Boys' Brigade Officer for twenty-five years, until we had to close the Company due to lack of staff to meet the latest regulations from Holyrood. I'm glad to see you working with youth - I wish I was, also, though I hear on the grapevine that a Company in a nearby town is looking for an Officer to take the Christian Faith brief. I'd be interested, but the thought of wasting time going through the re-training regime to get the requisite certification - especially as those doing the training were trained by me in the first place - fills me with a feeling of resignation. Anyway, good to see you posting, and hope to catch up with you in the future Jim. -----Original Message----- From: David Bail¼?ey - Email Address: baileydavidl62@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 22/08/2012 18:43 Sent To: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] Re: David Bailey Oh I've been around and about. I have been staying busy with work and Civil Air Patrol. CAP is a volunteer organization that responds to emergency situations such as missing aircraft, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. We have three main missions, ES or emergency Services, Aerospace education, and cadet ptograms for youth aged 12 - 21. We teach leadership, emergency services skills, map reading, radio communications, etc. I mainly work with cadet programs and communicatios. I teach character development and I am working on obtaining my rating in commubications. We meet once a week but I work diligently to be prepared if I am teaching and to push my skills farther when I am not. I am thinking of taking a mountain survival course, so I can subsequently teach it at our local unit andtske the unit on a mountain expedition. Other than that I have had a hernia repaired last quarter of 2011, thats all better now. I am also getting out once a week with a friend from church, and teach Sunday school on a rotating basis.
