Subject: MAWG sUAS Class #1
 
Hello All!

This is the first of a few sUAS Classes, with the goal to get all of the discussion parts of the SQTR for the UAS Technician and UAS MIssion Pilot completed by the end of the year.

This class will be physically presented at Hanscom Composite Squadron, but is also available via Zoom. I will be opening it up to Rhode Island and Maine Wings as well.

It will be at 18:40 - 20:20 (6:40pm to 8:20pm) via Zoom for those not at Hanscom Composite Squadron.

Over the next few weeks, I will be traveling to each of your Squadrons, and will be doing the live portion there, again with a Zoom component for the those not at that particular squadron.

When you log into the Zoom, I will ask that you leave a message in the Chat with your Name, Rank, Squadron, and CapID (ex. Martin Lessem, Capt, NER-MA-043, 294474) so that I can give credit to those who attend.

We will be setting up flying days as well, so you will all get a chance to fly some of the sUAS we have in our inventory. My goal is to have as many of you as possible at the Technician Trainee Level by the end of the year so you can actively participate in SAREXs in 2026.

Please find the invite for the Zoom for the 16th here:
