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 required.
The ‘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!
