Well done guardsmen!!
NEWS FROM 2018 FALL LEADERSHIP: The latest draft of the NSSAR Color Guard Safety Policy and Procedures was presented to the Color Guard Committee at Fall Leadership. Though some improvement had been made, it did not meet the committee members requirement that it be clear and concise and was returned to the subcommittee for further improvement. Specifically, the weapon safety check by the Color Guard Commander prior to each event was directed to be reduced from 16 steps to no more than 3. Your inputs to this are still appreciated. Expect the committee to vote on a revised document at Spring Leadership.
**************************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE: South Carolina and the South Atlantic District have a proposed Black Powder Color Guard Safety Course that has been reviewed by some of the more experienced Virginia Color Guardsmen. This proposal is much better suited to our needs than those that have been considered at the National Color Guard Committee meetings this year. We plan to conduct musket training (dry firing) at Annual in February in accordance with this course. I will procure wood flints and wood cartridges for this training, so plan to bring your musket to Annual (We will strive to have muskets available for those who do not have one). Even if you do not plan to fire a musket, with this training you could become useful as a firing party commander or safety officer.
**************************************************************************************************************************
ANOTHER UPDATE - 21 DEC 2018: An updated version of the NSSAR Color Guard Safety Policy and Procedures is available and will be sent to the Virginia SAR Color Guard email list. An effort will be made to harmonize this document with the South Carolina training procedures - watch for further updates.
