October’s membership meeting comes on a special day–the second Wednesday of the month, 9 October. And with a special guest speaker, Kayla Sween. Kayla is a supervisory DNA Analyst/Forensic Scientist at the the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory.
The Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory, which is part of the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, is the DOD’s only human remains testing laboratory. It performs DNA tests on service members who’ve died in current operations, as well as those who have been missing for decades. The lab works in tandem with the Armed Forces Repository of Specimen Samples for the Identification of Remains, which maintains millions of blood samples from folks who’ve served over the past 32 years.
NPVA membership open to all Noble’s Pond residents. Meetings begin at 1900 (7 o’clock) in the clubhouse ballroom.
