Army Reserve Base-
2651 Newport Blvd
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Get yourself to SE Bristol
St, right where it passes
beneath the Fwy55 (very
close to the 55/73 inter-
change). Just on the NW
of where Bristol passes
beneath the 55 is Newport
Blvd, heading SW and
parallel to the
Fwy55. Take that, the
Reserve Base entrance is
about 1,000' on the right
(don't hold me to that be-
ing an exact distance!).
You can see it on Google
satellite maps quite
clearly.

The award is
named in honor of Carl
“Tooey” Spaatz, the first
chief of staff of the U.S.
Air Force. During World
War II, he commanded
the Allied air campaign
against the Nazis. In the
Pacific Theater, the
atomic bombing of Hi-
roshima and Nagasaki
took place under his
command. After retiring
from the Air Force,
Spaatz served as the first
chairman of the CAP
National Board.
On average,
only two cadets in 1,000
earn the Spaatz
award. Approximately
1,764th cadets have re-
ceived the award since it
began in 1964.
The Spaatz
award is presented to
cadets who have demon-
strated excellence in
leadership, character,
fitness and aerospace
education. Cadets qual-
ify for the award after
devoting an average of
five years to progress
through 16 achievements
in the cadet program.

Volunteers are needed to serve on the Senior Staff at the 2011 California Wing Cadet Programs Conference, which will be held at Camp San Luis Obispo on the weekend of 14-17 January 2011. The CAWG Cadet Pro-grams Conference is one of the premier Cadet Program events in the nation, with a long and suc-cessful history.
The earlier date this year, re-quired by availability issues at CSLO, is now set for Martin Luther King Day weekend. We recog-nize that this will pre-sent numerous spe-cial challenges, not the least of which is that not everyone will have that as a three-day holiday weekend. Unfortunately, no bet-ter alternatives were available. We hope that most of us will be able to accommodate the change success-fully.
In order to en-sure another suc-cessful experience for participants, we need to gather a group of willing hands
to take on the various staffing responsibili-ties. Experienced and less experienced vol-unteers are welcome. All staff should have attended at least one prior CPC.
One major ob-jective this year is to train a new cadre of staff members to in-crease our reserve of qualified CP leader-ship. We will have served as Co-Project Officers for four con-ferences by now and are eager to intro-duce new blood al-lowing us to step back to mentoring roles and supplying program continuity for successful elements of the event.
In addition, anyone wishing to propose a special program, activity or class, outside of the main content, should send us a written cur-riculum summary and supporting informa-tion, including pro-posed instructor(s) list (including appro-priate certifications, if needed), costs if any), and time/space/support require-ments. Work-loads: for some of
these areas will be moderate to very in-tensive preceding the event and others will be primarily event-related duties. All staff volunteers, how-ever, are expected to be available for the entire event and cleanup period.

eas:

Welcome New Members!
California enacts Civil Air Patrol Employment Protection Act
preceding the commence-
ment of leave. Employees
will be required to give the
employer as much notice as
is possible of the intended
leave dates.
Upon expiration of
the leave, an employer will
be required to restore the
employee to his or her posi-
tion or to a position with
equivalent seniority, bene-
fits, pay and other terms and
conditions of employment,
unless the employee is not
restored because of condi-
tions unrelated to the exer-
cise of these leave rights.
An employer will
not required to grant such
leave to Civil Air Patrol
employees who are required
to respond as first respond-
ers or disaster service work-
ers for a local, state, or fed-
eral agency to the same or a
simultaneous emergency
operational mission. The
new law will not impact
collective bargaining agree-
ments or other employee
benefit plans in place that
provide greater leave rights.

Private and public employ-
ers in California who em-
ploy more than 15 employ-
ees will be required to pro-
vide not less than 10 days of
leave per year for voluntary
members of the California
Wing of the Civil Air Patrol
in order for such volunteers
to respond to an emergency
operational mission under a
new law that takes effect
January 1, 2010 (Ch. 242
(A.B. 485), L. 2009, enacted
October 11, 2009, and effec-
tive January 1, 2010).
In order to qualify
for the Civil Air Patrol
leave, employee volunteer
members must be employed
by their current employer for
at least 90 days immediately
Several have asked about
the new law giving CAP
members on emergency
missions certain
employment protections.
The California Wing
sponsored the bill. The
author was
Assemblymember Amina
Carter of Rialto. Ms.
Carter is now Lt Col
Carter, commander of the
Wing's Legislative

members wrote letters and
otherwise contributed to
the effort.

Civil Air Patrol saves 100 lives for the year MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. --
Civil Air Patrol reached a major milestone earlier this summer, racking up its 100th save for fiscal 2010 …
a year that doesn’t end until Sept. 30. “What an accomplishment!” exclaimed Col. Michael J. Murrell, CAP’s senior adviser, operations. “There is
no better reward than the realization that your efforts actually made the difference. It is that reward for which we all
strive and we succeeded more than 100 times this year. That is an outstanding milestone!” CAP reached the century mark in saved lives when a Wyoming Wing aircrew found an elderly couple
whose vehicle was stuck in the mud in rural Natrona County. The aircrew, acting on information from the sheriff’s
office and a hunch from Maj. George Twitchell, the wing’s director of operations, found the couple safe and sound. “They were in good shape when we found them, but very grateful and very glad to see us,” said Twitchell.
“It turned out to be a very lucky find. It would have been hard for the sheriff’s ground search teams to find them
because where they were stuck was kind of tucked away.” While this particular mission’s success stemmed at least in part from Twitchell’s intuition, enhanced use of
new technologies is playing a large role in many CAP search and rescue missions and has contributed to the high
number of saves this year, said John Desmarais, interim missions director at CAP National Headquarters at Max-
well AFB. “Some changes in how we do business are resulting in many of these searches becoming saves,” Desmarais
said. “We now have a couple of teams working on utilizing data forensics, both cell phone and radar forensics.” Both techniques help narrow search areas by analyzing data. Several CAP members, including the Arizona
Wing’s Capt. Justin Ogden, who works with cell phone forensics, are developing these tools and training other
members to use them. Ogden was recently selected to receive the 2010 Distinguished Volunteer Public Benefit Fly-
ing Award from the National Aeronautic Association and the Air Care Alliance. “By tightening the search area, they shorten searches for us,” Desmarais said. “The quicker we get there,
the more likely it is that there will be survivors. Both radar and cell phone forensics can make a significant differ-
ence in a search and rescue mission.” The numbers tell the story. Both technologies have been in use for a few years, increasing each year. In
2009, CAP had 72 saves. And while the number has hit 100 before, the yearly average over the last four decades
stands at 84. “I am delighted and very proud of our aircrews and ground teams for the dedication they have to their mis-
sions,” added Murrell. “They train long and hard so that they will be ready when the call comes, whether it is in the
middle of the day or the middle of the night. They understand any call, at any time, can mean the difference be-
tween life and death.” Increased CAP responsibilities have led to more saves, too. “We are working more,” Desmarais said.
“Many saves this year have come on just a few missions, those we conducted after natural disasters like floods.”
But no matter how CAP got to the 100 mark, it’s important not to get lost in the statistics. Every individual life
saved matters. “A save, every save, is the ultimate outcome,” said Wyoming Wing Commander Col. Stan Skrabut. “We spend a lot
of time training our crews to do this, so the fact that we bring comfort to folks by finding them safe is the best re-
ward for the time and effort we put in.
