New Lockers in the Ready Room

As of today we are beginning to install 75 new lockers in the ready room. Due to the size of the project and the amount of logistics involved, we would appreciate if everyone would bag up their jump gear and ensure that your lockers are cleaned out by Friday, November 14th. Your assistance with this project will safeguard your personal items and will guarantee that they will not get lost in the shuffle. Thank you.
