Gentlemen, 

I received a notification from eservices about a mishap. This had to do with a member getting sick and throwing up. This happened several times. During the investigation portion of this the SM's in charge noticed that the Camelbak the member was using had mold inside. This has the potential to be a common issue across all of our encampments. 

I have downloaded and put in PDF the instructions for cleaning Camelbak type devices. I would suggest we share this as much as possible with other wings and squadrons.

I appreciate the quick actions of the encampment staff that quickly identified this issue.  

V/R
