[Harc] FW: Auxiliary Communication (AuxComm) Training Waiting List

[Peter]

I encourage everyone interested in EmComm to try and take this course.  It will likely be a requirement for participation with County OES at some point in the future.  Plus it’s great training.  Don’t be put off by the prerequisites.  You can do it.
