I was wondering if anyone here was a member and could let us know about it.

There are many great private organizations that do disaster relief and response. We will whenever possible partner with them.
In today’s modern age we are very dependent on communications. This will be the number one task of the Virginia Ready Reserve. To establish a statewide network of radio communications.
Confusing the part with the whole. The CAP is not the CAP Cadet program. CAP is to the DoD-USAF as Coast Guard Auxiliary is to DHS-USCG.
§ 44-1. Composition of militia.
The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all able-bodied residents of the Commonwealth who are citizens of the United States and all other able-bodied persons resident in the Commonwealth who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, who are at least 16 years of age and, except as hereinafter provided, not more than 55 years of age. The militia shall be divided into four classes: the National Guard, which includes the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard; the Virginia Defense Force; the naval militia; and the unorganized militia.
§ 44-80. Order in which classes of militia called into service.
The National Guard, the Virginia Defense Force, the naval militia, and the unorganized militia or any part thereof may be ordered into service by the Governor in such order as he determines.
"Who are the Militia? They consist now of the whole people, except for a few public officers." ~ George MasonThey cannot be "A militia" of any sort.
"Unorganized" has many meanings, and by your argument any group which comes together for the purpose of preparing for the worst would no longer be "the militia".No "Ready Reserve" listed there, and since they have organized themselves ("The Virginia Ready Reserve is an organization within the Commonwealth of Virginia" - more specifically "The Virginia Ready Reserve is a volunteer membership organization") they by definition fall outside the unorganized militia.
Looking at their web site (http://virginiareadyreserve.com/), it appears that a major focus is communications. They encourage members to become Ham radio operators so as to have a communications infrastructure during an emergency. They mention strong support for the second amendment, but the workshop promoted on the website is a Ham antenna workshop. Interesting.
I await the attack of the keyboard commandos that live in their mom's basement! Or the circular firing squad of trolls.
Why all the trash talk, gentlemen? Have any of you ever contacted the VRR and talked to any of its members? Have you considered the fact that any organization of this type is probably not going to put all of their information on a website?
You guys have made a rather harsh judgement about an organization that you know nothing about. Why don't you try reaching out and establishing a line of communication and dialogue with them?
