text: From my perspective and I hope from national state leaders is that since we have had to scale back I'm hoping we focus on Quality over Quantity. I'd rather have 10-20 dependable folks that I can call on that have active roles beit EMS, incident command, prepping/gardening/food storage, tactical response team, etc etcBut really focus on attributes that a person has in the vetting process. Then the warm handoff to the CO who then utilizes the skills of the new member giving them the ability to offer up their knowhow and expertise. We need people feeling valued and utilized. This the reason large organizations exist. Anyone here that has been in management knows that everyone has a key role that when utilized feels more empowered. We need that. What are you thoughts?I know that most people that own guns just own guns because it's their right, or they inherited them, they bought it to protect their family from intruder. ...They don't even know how to use it or how to clean it or what bullets go in their gun. Same with food preparation, my church teaches food prep and they're KING when it comes to this. ...How many of you have 3 - 60 Gallon drums of water and food supply for your family for 6 months to 1 year?These are just a few things as an organization I feel would be helpful to the public. Our emphasis when speaking to the local Joe blow in your small town... "hey Joe have you ever thought about1) food preparation 2) pistol cleaning3) bug-out bag4) basic First-aid If any of you would like info on anything I've talked about I have tons of resources. I hope with what I've shared it resonates with all of you. But more importantly I come from an Emergency Management background and I'd rather everyone be prepared/trained and ready than be fearful of the unexpected. Thank you brothers and sisters.
