By Colonel Tim Marsano Due to the government shutdown, the statewide Service Academy Day at Gowen Field has been cancelled for tomorrow, October 5. However, my office has taken two calls from parents of potential West Point cadets in Idaho Falls, who wondered if the event was going to happen as scheduled. It is not taking place. It would be a shame if parents and their high school-age children were to travel across the state for this, only to be turned away at the Gowen Field gate. Secondly, the October Idaho Army and Air National Guard unit training assemblies – ‘monthly drills’ – are postponed, that would also help us get the word out to some 5,000 of our personnel. Drill was scheduled to take place October 5-6. |
