SCSO Search Dog Training

Mrs. Kathy Webb from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office Division of Emergency Services visited a Millington Composite Squadron meeting recently to train Civil Air Patrol members in the basics of utilizing search dogs in Search & Rescue operations. Cadets and Senior Members learned about the various types of search dogs and methods and got to see her dog Kona in action.

US Navy Personnel Inspire CAP Cadets

Several military personnel from the US Navy Reserves visited a recent Civil Air Patrol meeting, sharing their experiences and encouraging the cadets of Millington Composite Squadron. Representatives from the Naval Operational Support Center (NOSC-Memphis) were on hand to answer cadets' questions and challenge them to pursue the CAP core values of integrity, volunteer service, excellence and respect.

MCS Visits FAA

MCS members got an opportunity to visit the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Route Traffic Control Center in Memphis recently.  Cadets and Senior Members received an educational session on how air traffic is managed, got to meet with managers and meteorologists, and were able to actually sit with controllers to monitor air traffic communications and speak with controllers.  The event was preceded by an aerospace education lesson at our headquarters and a trip to the Memphis Air port Tower in December.  Thank you to ZME ARTCC for opening your doors to our Civil Air Patrol members.
