IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN- 10/25/2025

We received two important updates from NATHQ this week that will affect us:

Vanguard vouchers are delayed until after the government shutdown. Because of this, blues uniforms will be unavailable until after the end of the government shutdown.
The 12 Dec 2025 Awards Banquet and Cadet Cohort Ceremony may be less formal — ABUs or civilian attire can be worn instead of Blues.
The welcome box of books is delayed so please reference the following information bellow to progress through the cadet program.

We understand that these delays will affect the cohort and may cause disruptions within the RCS training program. If you have any questions, please contact the squadron staff.

LEADERSHIP & AEROSPACE RESOURCES

The content will provide all the online information you may need to progress through the cadet program leaderships and aerospace wise.

*These act as a substitute for the welcome package delay.
