The REDS Team

Great students, one more weeeknd to go.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 229: 2026: Next month is our annual boat ops training at Harker's Island on 9/12 & 9/13. We train all day Saturday, run an exercise Saturday night and then train until right after lunch on Sunday. If you are interested in training with us and want to bring any boats as well, let us know. Alwasy good to have folks to train with.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 170: 2026: Plans do not always go as planned and then you improvise. Water flow at Weldon was decent but levels were too low. Changed to Lake Wheeler and made things work even though lake levels were down 3-4ft. See pic with table we retieved last week for them. Did raft training on Saturday and ROV with 360 sector scan and dive on Sunday. It all still went well even with the heat.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 160: 2026: Next Saturday & Sunday will be doing Team swiftwater training at Weldon as we do every June. Any water folks out there are welcome to come join us.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 157: 2026: Had dive training this past Saturday at Lake Wheeler. Recovered a metal table someone had thrown in the lake (that was used in the park) that we knew was there from last year finding it. Told the park we would retrieve it for them for training. Also used the ROV and will post that video later.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 142: 2026: Did boat operations training this weekend, which on Saturday was putting two new boats in service, one new motor and taking two older boats out of service, as well as running and checking all the equipment. You may notice in the pics we had several "small" Supervisors onsite to ovelook our work. Saturday was at lake Wheeler doing boat manuevers and MOB drills.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 111: 2026: We started the LSFTM (land Search Field team member) class last month up at Kerr Lake. We finished the class this past weekend at Medoc Mountain State Park. They did their overnight sleeping in their makeshift shelters, and finished up their skills. Five Park rangers and 7 team members are now certified. It was a great weekend for the class as well. The Lord did us well.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 095: 2026: Another successful Stabilization University in the books this past weekend. Had a full class both days and a lot of fire departments represented. Had Chris Pasto ( the inventor of Res-Q-Jack ) down from Res-Q-Jack to help with the classes. These pics are from Saturday and the next post will be from Sunday.

Chief's Log: Star Date: 095 2026: Here are the pics from Sunday. Didn't have the personnel to get as many pics, too busy with the class.
