RE: HAWK MOUNTAIN RANGER SCHOOL STAFF TRAINING

 Attention to all cadets interested in the PA Wing Ranger Program:

 HMRS is aware that certain publications have indicated that Staff Candidate interviews would be conducted in January and February.    However interviews are not requiredThe ‘interview’ is NOT a prerequisite to attendance in the Staff Training Program! 

Generally, if we come across an individual who has the motivation and skill to complete the program, but lacks in other areas (rank/grade, fitness levels, encampment experience, etc), we work with them anyway to get them through and bring them to where they need to be.  That is part of our overall ‘teamwork philosophy’ and the reason why you sometimes see cadets being awarded a 'scarf' at summer school or in other venues.  We keep track of individual achievements and make sure our hard working cadets get their recognition as soon as they can. 

In short, please feel free to come on out to the mountain.  Bring a buddy!  It gets pretty tough and sometimes it’s nice to have a familiar friend by your side to share the experiences with.  The Armed Forces still use the buddy sign up system for that reason! Training begins in March.

 We hope to see you there!
