CC-CAP SQUADRONSOUND OFF!!!

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP

Dear CAP Fellows,Our second week of CAP Avia-

tion training has been very successful. Ishould like to thank everyone who hasmade that possible, both within the unitand from without.

What was done these past twoweeks will serve as only a mere beginning.We have learned a great deal about CAPaviation and how to put it into practice.

As I prepare the materials for the 2007 Holiday Party, I am left with a verywarm feeling inside. We have accomplished a lot this year.

MY SQUADRON, YOUR SQUADRON & OUR SQUADRON What is it that keeps CAP alive? What is it that drive and nourishes the marrow

of the local CAP Unit? What is it that makes a unit successful? This is a series of ques-tions that has occupied my mind these last few weeks. I should say that it should occupyall our minds, for it is in the address of those questions that our unit will continue togrow and prosper.

First of all, I think the primary starting point is for people to take ownershipof their unit. To refer to it as My Squadron. As a commander I often steer away fromthat sort of rhetoric out of fear people might think me less than humble. But, I submitthat it has to be MY UNIT to each of us. That is what turns it into being OURUNIT.

This idea came to me while watching cadets practicing their drill at Kingsville.It struck me that an element works at its best when each of its members is strong in theirfundamentals. Thus, when an order is given, the greater part of the unit gathers its preci-

sion from the strength of the individual. Each of us must be like that to OUR UNIT.Strong CAP Officers and Cadets are the driving force of Strong Units.The key is an effective staff. Each of us taking our part of the unit and working

in concert with each other to make it happen. Personnel and Admin Officers keeping uscentered in record keeping, Public Affairs Officers keeping us informed, Cadet Pro-grams Officers doing their best to build that area and Air Ops organizing the flying.

Our next big tasks will be in the areas of COMM and GROUND TEAM. 1st LtMike Garmon leading the one and cadets attending the Ground Team School leading theother.

-SEMPER VIGILANS!

On Un-funded Missions and the Numbers they Generate Lt Col Brooks Cima, CAP

Texas Wing Director of Emergency Services

Texas Wing I am very pleased that many of you are doing un-funded training -that has always been the core of our volunteer organization! In order to maximizethat training, please follow these guidelines:

1. In order to get a training mission number for ground team training you must sub-mit an Ops Plan to me two weeks in advance of your activity. Be sure to includetraining objectives and safety information in your plan as well as local medical facili-ties. Once I have reviewed the plan, I enter a request in WMIRS and send the plan tothe Wing Commander. The NOC approval and Wing Commander approval generallytakes 3-4 days. Please use the attached template for your OPs plan.

2. Un-funded aircrew training for a C mission should be submitted in the same way as ground training. If you wantan un-funded B mission (additional insurance) you must submit six weeks in advance to meet our approval win-dow and the 30 day Air Force requirement.

3. Other Wing-scheduled training, such as the upcoming AFRCC course, may be issued a Texas Wing trainingnumber. This number may be used for prerequisite and task accomplishment but not mission sorties. Your tasks

should be signed off by a Texas Wing Evaluator. Check the list BEFORE you train.

4. Other non-CAP training, such as FEMA, Department of Homeland Security, etc. may be considered for a TexasWing training number and prerequisite/ task sign-offs. In order to accomplish this you must submit a course de-scription or training objective list from the instructor or sponsoring organization. Submit this and your SQTR tomyself or one of the Assistant Training Officers and we will do our best to match up some of the training objec-tives with CAP tasks. Please keep in mind this only includes classes that are not normally a part of CAP curricu-lum/requirements.

Since any of the training entered in WMIRS requires the Project Officer toenter sorties, work with your Group or Wing staff to secure WMIRS accessprior to requesting an un-funded training number. Paperwork (sign-in sheets,104s, 109s, ORM, vehicle sign-in sheets, etc.) must have the first page of the

CAPF 115 attached as a cover sheet and the package should be sent to WingHQ for filing within 72 hours of activity completion. Please submit a simplelist of the training completed so that we can keep a running list of the un-funded training completed in order to lobby for more training funds in the fu-ture.

If you have questions about any of these guidelines or requirements, pleasefeel free to contact me.

GROUP V Commander Urges Encampment AttendanceLt Col Eddy Billman, CAP

Commander Group V

San Antonio, Texas The winter Cadet Encampment is coming soon. Past winter en-campment data shows us that although there are only a few folks signed up at this point(original deadline), many more will apply at the last minute, some even showing up unan-nounced. Since we still expect about 100 basic cadets to attend, and less than half haveapplied, that means quite a few applications are expected. That is good in one way, butvery bad in another. The staff, all of which are sacrificing their entire XMas break, are putinto a terrible crunch pulling this off with such bad data. They need to commit to beds,food, equipment, etc. To wait till the last minute is unfair, unprofessional, and makes thestaff's lives miserable.

I am asking you to PLEASE find out who in your units intend to apply and nudgethem strenuously to minimize the delay. We owe this to the encampment staff. According to this listing, manyunits do not have any first-time, or Basic Cadets attending. I encourage you to push hard to have at least one eligi-ble Cadet attend from your unit, if you don't already have one. The stories, enthusiasm, and information they willbring back to your program is invaluable. It is that important. And, of course, encampment is necessary for theMitchell.

If you have transportation or money issues holding back Cadets that you know should be attending, bring it up fordiscussion. We can't solve problems we don't know about.

Remember, while not downplaying the summer encampment, the winter encampment is a whole bunchcloser to all of us than Paris Texas in the summer. And for the Valley, Victoria, and Corpus Christi, it is a very bigdifference in distance.

I know that some Cadets are going to attend the very excellent Texas Wing Ground Team School inBrownsville during this time, but that doesn't account for all of this. I appreciate your help to tighten this up.

Cadet Philip Lozano earns Wright Brothers AwardBy Major J. E. Carrales, CAP

Corpus Christi Comp Squadron The Corpus Christi Composite Squadron would like tohonor its latest Wright Brothers Award cadet, Philip Lozano. Cadet Lozano has been a very dedi-cated and active cadet.

Cadet Lozano joined the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program on 29 June 2006 following asegment run on Corpus Christi CBS Television affiliate KZTV ACTION 10 NEWS . The segment,

which starred then 1st Lt Sandy Phelps, ran during the 5 oclock hour on that station and, twohours latter, Major J.E. Carrales welcomed Cadet Candidate Philip Lozano and his family to theevening meeting.

I can remember it quite well, said Major Carrales, the doorbell ran at the MemorialArmy Reserve Center and I greeted the family.

Cadet Lozano was the first in a new wave of cadets.In many ways, continued Major Carrales, Cadet Lozano represented a fresh start. The cadet program had lan-

guished for a while and Lozano and Cadet Villarreal were pretty much all we had.Lozanos family has also been a great boon to the squadron. He is the son of Salvador and Monica Lozano, two

very patriotic and community minded volunteers. In fact, Monica Lozano, a.k.a. 2d Lt Lozano, joined the unit and has beena great boost to the units programs.

That said, the climb up the Airman ranks was not an easy one.It is difficult said Major J. E. Carrales, for CAP Cadets to prosper in a condition where there are too few cadets.

Ours was a re-building unit. This made it very difficult for Cadet Lozano to get the fullexperience, however, with support from his family and the unit he was able to overcomethis by going forth and partaking of Texas Wing and neighboring unit opportunities.

Cadet Lozano accomplished his leadership training by attending the 2006 TexasWing Encampment at Camp Swift, Bastrop, TX graduating on 31 December 2006. Inaddition, he also accompanied CC-CAP Officers to training activities at Brownsville andVictoria. He also attended the Group V Airman Leadership School on October 2007.

In September of 2006, he represented the unit at a ceremony at Sherrill Park inCorpus Christi, Texas after which he and other cadets traveled to Victoria, Texas to par-ticipate in Cadet Orientation Flights.

In terms of Emergency Services, he is a natural ELT hunter. He has severaltimes been the discoverer of well hidden ELTs and is quite proficient with equipment of all times.

In early-2007 Cadet Lozano was appointed the Cadet Advisory Council Secon-dary representative to the Group V CAC rising to the Primary position not long after. InApril he served as part of a delegation to the 2007 Texas Wing Conference in Austin,Texas were he sat on the Texas Wing CAC for its deliberations. He continues to serve asthe units CAC representative.

His service to the CAC and other training prompted unit leadership to recom-mend him as the 2007 Air Force Associations Outstanding Cadet of the Year. This award is given to the most outstandingcadet in the unit based on recommendation. A medal is issued and the cadet is authorized to wear the given award.

Cadet Lozano is also a volunteer with the Coastal Bend Chap-ter of the American Red Cross and assisted in flood relief efforts inmid-2007. He was praised by former CAP National Commander BrigGeneral Richard Anderson for his efforts. At that time he also wasgive the opportunity to represent the Unit to the Mayors Committeefor Veterans Affairs. The prestigious position allows him to serve as adirect liaison to the Corpus Christi Mayors office as well as to serveas weather vein of future cadet activity in support of local veterans.

The Wright Brothers Award is given for cadets who are suc-cessful in completing their training as Cadet Airmen and are poised forservice as Cadet NCO and the responsibilities that come with thoseranks. Cadet Lozano was awarded the honor on 13 November 2007award number 8647. He is now eligible for the rank of Cadet Staff Sergeant and will be bestowed with that rank at the Corpus ChristiComposite Squadron Holiday Dinner on 11 December 2007. Welldone Cadet Lozano, we look forward to writing an article about your Billy Mitchell Award which, is such success continues,is the shape of things to come.

ROOM, ATTENTION! These wordsofficially started a weekend of leadership,learning, and fun for the Civil Air Patrolcadets. The first thing the cadets did uponarriving at the Airman Leadership Schoolwas check-in and have their bags inspectedfor any contraband. After the bag inspec-tion, all the cadets put their stuff in theirroom, and it was time for the first of many classes. Cadets learned how to take care of their uniforms and then hadto put their knowledge to the test as it was time for inspection. Following inspection, a group leadership projectwas held.

Day two dawned bright and early with reveilleat six a.m. Cadets were rushed downstairs forearly-morning physical training (PT), fol-lowed by alternating class and drill untillunch. Once lunch was over, the alternatingschedule of class and drill continued until din-ner. Following dinner, there was one moreclass then it was time for two more groupleadership projects which the cadets did greaton, and then it was time for the staff vs. cadetsto a game of kickball. After the staff victory,cadets then participated in a PT competitionand settled in for the night.

Day three dawned early again with an early-morning PT session. Cadets took showers, ate breakfast, and then it was time for clean-up. Cadets had one hour toclean the whole building for white-gloved inspection. After passing inspec-tion, cadets then prepared for graduation. Graduation ran smoothly and thenew generation of leaders went home.

Three cadet awards were given for the Most Improved, Extreme ChallengeAward, and Warrior Cadet. The Cadets who won the awards were C/Amn

Christopher Ganson, C/Amn Shadrick Adams, and C/Amn Tucker Tripprespectively.

Communications Trainings Begins anew at Kingsville By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP

Kingsville, Texas Cadets at Kingsville have been busy in all as-pects of training. Regular readers of this almanac will recall thatpromotions have been steady as the new wave of cadets move upthe CAP ladder. Regular Readers will also recall that Cadets havebeen pulling duty at Memorial Middle School. This is merely anexercise designed to teach GES and COMM with a hands on ex-perience.

The first element of this is to

teach cadets keep a log and practiceCAP communications procedures.

We use secure channels,said Major Carrales, but still we mustbe careful not to be sloppy in what wesay. Because anyone with $100 andaccess to Radio Shack can listen in.

Cadets got some experiencewith keeping a mission log and how the CAPF 110 Air/Ground or Point toPoint Log works. Whats more than that, they also learned a bit about why

it is important.

While cadets need work on filling out the mission log, continuedMajor Carrales, it seems that is the sort of proficiency that is reach by do-ing. And they will be doing a lot!
