     * Message from CPT Harris (Jan 2012)














Soldiers and supporters from 40th Military Police Company pose for a company photo, during a Soldiers' Breakfast event hosted by the Family Readiness Group, its friends and generous sponsors (Nov 2011).
Message updated 5/12/2012:

Hello Soldiers, families, friends and loved ones.
Welcome to the May edition of the 40th Military Police Company Family Readiness Newsletter!
Summer is fast approaching. California weather has been beautiful and I still love being your Family Readiness Leader. I am always ready to help, so please do not ever hesitate to contact me for whatever you need.

Happy to say that the 40th Military Police Company still continues to train heavily, to be ready and serve not only California but our country! The unit has been really busy and has sacrificed a lot.
Big "shout out" to all that have recently been promoted. A promotion is something that every Soldier thrives for and works towards, so congratulations!

To all that have a birthday this month: Happy Birthday! Three candles on your cake: health, wealth and happiness! If you have a "shout out" or "good news" to include in our monthly newsletter, please email me: jeandonaghy6@aol.com

The 49th MP Brigade Sentinel Ball on April 14th was a great night, along with a weekend-long training for Commanders and Family Readiness Leaders. I, unfortunately, did not attend. I understand that many others could not attend either, but maybe next year will be a better time for all to be together and enjoy the fun. Captain Harris, First Sergeant Rodriguez and Staff Sergeant Bonilla attended the training and the Sentinel Ball. I hope to have pictures soon so that I can post them for all to see.

I am happy to announce that a generous donation of baby blankets has been donated to the 40th MP Families. I will be organizing all of them so that I can distribute them to whoever wants them. More details to follow on our Facebook page (search 40th Military Police Company Family Readiness Group).

Be sure to check out the California National Guard's Work for Warriors Facebook page. The Work for Warriors program is a newly established employment initiative, on behalf of the California Military Department. This unique initiative will partner the California National Guard's Work for Warriors team and community partners, in seeking full time employment opportunities for our unemployed members of the California National Guard.
