My town started a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) back in 2011 and I have found this a great place to keep my military skills and education working for me. Has anyone else done this? What are your experiences?

I work with the Civil Air Patrol and we encourage our hound teams to get CERT certified. I even have my CERT Instructor for that reason as well. The course will save lots of people, because people are going to help no matter what so train them to be safe.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll check it out. My last duty assignment was NCOIC of the Supply Readiness Control Center (SRCC) 4th Wing, Seymour Johnson AFB, Goldsboro, NC.

When I was stationed at Fort Gordon from 2005-2007 I was a member of the of the county CERT. Unfortunately after I left Gordon I was never able to find another one to join up.
