Thanksgiving Break

Millington Composite Squadron will be taking an extended Thanksgiving break, so no meetings are scheduled for the last two weeks of November.

The next scheduled meeting will be December 10th. Watch for updates as the schedule may be adjusted next month as well.

MCS Honors Veterans

A dozen members from Millington Composite Squadron participated in the "flags-in" ceremony at the West Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, placing US flags at hundreds of graves.  Over 21,000 veterans are buried at the cemetery and every one of them had a flag placed at their tombstone.

Recent News

Millington Composite Squadron participated in the Millington 9/11 Memorial Service held at Northridge Woodhaven Cemetery in September.  The MCS Color Guard presented the colors, our Chaplain VonBuskirk gave the invocation, and Squadron Commander Capt Barrett gave the address. He also spoke on the same subject at the Bartlett Rotary Club later that week.






Senior Meetings are now being held on the first Tuesday night of each month at 1830 hrs in addition to the monthly composite meeting. At the most recent Tuesday meeting we began Mission Scanner training.






The cadets have been working on Ground Team training, have had lessons in Moral Leadership, CAP Social Media, Drill & Ceremony, and PT.  Several cadets have either completed or are in the process of completing rank advancements. Two of our most recent promotions include Cadets Quick and McCormack. Congratulations!

MCS Cadets Attend Summer Encampment

Ten members from Millington Composite Squadron participated in the 2016 Tennessee Wing Encampment from 4 June to 11 June.  Six of them served on staff while another four were basic cadets.  One of those, Cadet Daniel Burgess, was recognized as honor cadet of the entire encampment.

The annual event, normally held on military bases, was held for the first time on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University. MTSU has an outstanding reputation for excellent aerospace education and their willingness to host this year's encampment is a good indicator of the relationship between MTSU and Civil Air Patrol.


Next Meeting 16th of July

Due to the Air Force Operations Evaluation this weekend, there will be no meeting on 9 July. Our next regularly scheduled meeting is on 16 July, which will be a composite meeting.

If you are a visitor interested in the Civil Air Patrol we would be happy to have you join us at our next meeting.
