Our Mission:

Joint Base Andrews Joint Service Open House

Find informationand register at http://www.capmerjsoh.org.

This year's Joint Service Open House has been in the planning stage for the past 7 months and things are now at a point where we can outline our involvement. By the time you finish this email you will have a good idea of the wide variety of activities they have requested our involvement. We have a GREAT reputation and we want to improve it - with your help we will !

The open house is on Armed Forces weekend, 18-20 May (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) and features the Blue Angels and a host of military, civilian aircraft vehicles and weapon systems of the past and present. The Middle East Region web site has been up for some time and many members have already signed up. If you have not done so already, please visit the site (individually) and sign up for one or more days. Also indicate the things you are interested in. If your squadron is planning to visit as a group, please assign a project officer and communicate with us.

NOTE: There is a high probability that there will be NO airshow next year - so don't miss this GREAT opportunity to be part of the operation. Given the current budget climate we don't know when the next JSOH will be.

Here is a list of the activities that are confirmed. Other activities may be added as details are available:

CAP Incident Command Post, CAP aircraft display, CAP Emergency Services, Open House Information Booth, Hospitality Chalet, Static Display Hospitality Tent, Capture-the-Flag with the E-Team Skydivers, Drug Demand Reduction, AirShow safety briefing

Free Lunch: CAP Members who sign-in and serve honorably at one of our activities - will be allowed entry to the Static Display Hospitality Tent - AFTER their tour-of-duty. Special arrangements will be provided for members whose only duty-period is after 2pm. In other words, if you come to the airshow and are not involved with any of the CAP activities, don't expect a free lunch. If you assist in more than one shift of duty, we will reward you!

Overnight lodging: We are making arrangements for overnight accommodations at the American Legion Youth Camp in Cheltenham. We used this facility last year and it was a great opportunity to chat and bond with the Saturday teams. We plan to stay overnight on Friday night and Saturday night. The cabins have bunk beds, a separate room for the Senior Member leadership team. Latrines and showers are available. Bring a sleeping bag and toietries. A screened pavilion is also available for meeting/bonding/evening snack. It is only 10 minutes from Andrews, so traffic in the morning will not be a factor for us. PLEASE INDICATE YOUR DESIRE TO STAY OVERNIGHT when you register. Please bring $10 to cover the facility and breakfast.

If you are interested in staying overnight either/both Friday/Saturday, please indicate on the sign-up page. It would be helpful if Squadrons could think about this, and provide an indication of the senior member leadership available

IMPORTANT: Please visit www.CAPMERJSOH.org and read all of the information on the site and watch for other emails pertaining to any changes in event details.
