Curse[edit]

The source for the alleged curse is archived here. I don't think this is a significant element of the school's history and have removed the section rather than fixing it. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:25, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Katrina[edit]

I have removed the following from the article:

"More recently, CAP Rangers have been involved in recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina. 31 CAP Rangers from Pennsylvania Wing alone traveled 28 hours to Pascagoula, Mississippi to aid in relief efforts. Members from numerous other wings assisted as well. Members from Pennsylvania Wing were directed to go door-to-door ensuring that local residents had the food, water, and medical care they needed, however after a questionable pre-order deployment, including bringing cadets to the disaster area (who were not allowed to assist in the relief efforts because of age restrictions), the members from Pennsylvania were ultimately ordered home early by the Incident Command staff due to their lack of response to headquarters, the concerns of the parents of several cadets, and the unwillingness to perform their missions as directed, as published in the official After Action Report ^[1]"

The reason for removing this is as follows: 1) Most of the information is not supported by the 21-page source. I just read the entire document, and while it does single out the Pennsylvania wing ground teams for some command and control issues during the mission, nowhere does it identify those teams as consisting of graduates or staff of the Hawk Mountain Ranger School. 2) Nowhere does the the report identify the individuals from Pennsylvania as being cadets, nor does it support the claim that parents of cadets were concerned about their participation. 3) The information does not relate in any way to this article; if someone wants to write an article about the CAP's response to Katrina, and properly source each of the claims, feel free to do so -- that would be the proper place (if there is one) for this information.
