Advanced Individual Academic Development Program
Written by Mike Lyman   
Tuesday, 17 November 2009

Huntsville AOG members,

Attached is some information regarding West Point's Advanced Individual Academic Development Program.  Marty Eaton and I coordinate this for AMRDEC and facilitate AIAD for other entities here at Redstone. Currently, we are soliciting input for job descriptions for Cadets to perform engineering activities at RSA this summer.  We can assist with your receiving a cadet whether you are with AMRDEC or another entity located at Redstone. Additionally, private industry can provide funding for their own cadets.  However, we need some assistance.

The cadets have to select their summer location for training based upon input we will provide to West Point.  Last year was the first year we did this and we initially had no specific job descriptions and provided only generic information about AMRDEC and Redstone Arsenal; which didn't induce a lot of cadets to volunteer.  An exciting engineering job description enhances the chance a cadet may select Redstone from their many choices.

Please take a look at the attached information and give either Marty Eaton or I a call and we can provide further assistance.  Please also forward us any job descriptions, the sooner the better, but hopefully prior to 4 December.

Jobs should be about three weeks in duration and provide the cadets the opportunity to conduct actual engineering.  Note the flier primarily mentions "systems engineering" but any type engineering can be proposed.

Army - Air Force Game watch
Written by Art Meier   
Thursday, 05 November 2009

It was a dead heat!  a total of 28 votes - each location getting 14.

Since we have already agreed with the Navy to be at Jones Valley for the Army - Navy Game, we will muster at the Buffalo Wild Wings at Madison Mall this Saturday afternoon.  The kick off is at 1430 hours ----Which is the same time as the Alabama - LSU game.  This means the facility will be crowded.  I am requesting that those who voted for the Madison location, please try and arrive early enough to lock in a location - It looks like we need room for at least 28 folks - the number voting.

Beat Air Force!

 
August Society Meeting
Written by Art Meier   
Sunday, 09 August 2009

The monthly Society meeting for August will be on Thursday, 27 August at 1730 hours in the Howell Room of the ROCC.  This is our annual get together prior to the football season, gives me a chance to bring everyone update on what is happening with WPAOG, and allows us to make plans for the remainder of the year.

There will be an open bar from 1730 to 1830 or so.  (The Society picks up the tab.)  Plan to met your spouse and have dinner at the Club.  It is the Quarterly Birthday Night with a buffet from 1800 - 2000 hours.  The band  Sentimental Journey will be playing from 1900 to 2100.  If your birthday is in July, August, or September tickts are free (assuming you are member) - otherwise the buffet is $15.95.  You can purchase tickets over the phone or stop by the club - to select your seats.

See you then!

 
Luncheon at the Museum
Written by Art Meier   
Tuesday, 19 May 2009

We had a good turn out today, (over twenty)  to hear Mr. Bill Stender discuss the Madison County Veteran’s Memorial and to tour the Museum.  Thank you all for coming.  

I know some of you are wondering who won the drawing for the tickets.  Jimmy Hill was the winner.

Next month, the Luncheon will be back at the ROCC. The date is the 23rd of June.   Two cadets will present, who will be at Redstone for about four weeks this summer.
