BARTOW-ETOWAH COMPOSITE SQUADRON: GA 129
Strength of the Aation
by Dr. Ilana Mor
0c1ober 12, 26
Squadron Commander
Capt. Don Colson
The Civil Air Patrol expects
all of its members to uphold
i t s cor e val ues of
NTEGRTY, VOLUNTEER
SERVCE, EXCELLENCE
and RESPECT. Each of
these val ues is an
important part of the
programs in which we are
involved.
Within our Cadet program,
each value is a vital
element in character and
leadership development,
which will help our Cadets
grow into the significant
citizens that they are
capable of becoming in the
future.
n particular, would like to
take a moment to reflect on
the volunteer activities that
we have participated in
recently, and some that we
will soon be involved in
again. This past month,
our Squadron was asked to
help park cars for the
Covered Bridge Festival in
Euharlee, GA. We have
provided this assistance for
several years, and the
festival organizers have
been most appreciative of
our help. This year, as
watched our young Cadets
take charge of the festival
parking area, could see
the confidence grow in
them. Cars and trucks of all
sizes responded to their
directions and filed into
their respective parking
places in a neat and
orderly way. They weren't
just Cadets; they were in
charge.
During the event, a
young girl was missing.
Our Cadets responded
immediately to assist in
the search. The child
turned up unharmed, and
our Cadets lived up to
the CAP motto: Semper
Vigilans (Always Vigilant)

Each year, we also assist
the Bartow County DFCS
to deliver Christmas
presents to children who
r ecei ve assi st ance
through that agency. n a
very different, but equally
important way, our
Cadets learn and grow
through the experience of
helping those in need.
The spirit of volunteerism
is critical to CAP's
mi ssi ons and t he
development of our
future leaders.
Just like one of our Cadet
Officers, C/2Lt Raybon
said about about his four
valuable years in Civil Air
Patrol: (page 14)
"CAP is an extremely
valuable resource in the
training of tomorrow's
corporate and military
leaders. My experiences
during the past Iour years
will stay with me Ior the
rest oI my liIe."
So, if you know of worthy
projects in need of a little
Cadet power, please let
us know. We just might
need the experience it
will bring.

Have you ever been so tired that you Iall asleep
standing up? Lack oI sleep and major activities can
make a Cadet act like an APE. (missing link?) This
past FTX (Field Training Exercise/Covered Bridge
Mission) started on a Friday with the Advance Party
setting up three tents. These consisted oI a General
Purpose Medium Tent(GP Med) with two GP small
tents Ior weekend training.

During this same period oI time, Cadets were on duty
at Covered Bridge, working security and traIIic
support. Covered Bridge (CB) provided employment
opportunities Ior Cadets to Iind lost children, work
traIIic support, and zero in on some communication
skills. This mission started Friday at 1800
and lasted until 1500 on Sunday. The CB mission was
tasked to LT Freese as OIC or OIIicer In Charge.

Just to make things interesting Ior this weekend,
rain was ordered together with high heat and periods
oI high humidity. Through high heat, rain, humidity,
and slippery conditions, the mission was completed
saIely which leIt a very good impression on our
host. There were two times when children lost
parents, and in both cases the children were rejoined
with parents within minutes. The Cadets were well
watered via our host and the downIalls oI light rain.

A rotation oI positions between the FTX and the CB
mission was established and according to the cook in
the chow hall, each Cadet was well Ied and in some
cases overIed..

The FTX operation covered line search and clue
identiIication and markings, as well as medical
evaluation and evacuation Irom site. Part oI the
operation included AIR DOG support, so the team
were able to experience working with AIR to
GROUND signals to recover a target.

Special thanks to AIR DOG LT Sam SheIIield who
I l e w t h e a i r s u p p o r t I o r t h e
Saturday Search and Rescue training exercise. The
aircraIt and Iuel were provided out oI his own pocket.
Thank you very much Ior Ilying Ior us.

AIR DOG Lt Mike Fouts was on line Ior Sunday;
however the rain that was scheduled Ior aIter the Ilight
arrived early and Air Operations were grounded Ior
Sunday. Thanks Mike Ior standing by. Thank you
very much Ior Ilying Ior us.
CVL AR PATROL DSCOVERS MSSNG LNK
DURNG FTX / COVERED BRDGE MSSON
22-24 October 2006
With Capt. Hayden CoIIins, Ground Ops

The AIR to GROUND training went very well and
skills were sharpened. Practice like this keeps our
skills on task and helps us remember steps that
are normally not part oI our every day
activities.

SOOOO...now the SARDOGS arrive at 0800 in the
rain. Lucky Ior us that the SARDOGS work rain or
shine. This operation included the Department oI
Natural Resources SARDOG, Search and Rescue
Dogs.

Early Sunday morning, the FTX troopers were up at
05:30 breaking up camp, eating breakIast,
and doing pre-inspection Ior Iield gear. The team oI
Cadets and SARDOG Trainers and Dogs were hard at
it Irom 0800 in the rain until 1100 hrs.
This training included but was not limited to line
searching, pattern searching, and SARDOG
Iamiliarization.

Working as a team with searchers and dogs is quite an
experience. Cadets and teams practiced together
covering wide areas oI terrain, wooded as well as
wetlands. Each time they located the target in a
timely manner. In most cases, the targets were located
by SARDOG much Iaster than the standard search
pattern without K-9 support.

H O W D O S A R D O G S W O R K ?
All humans, alive or dead, constantly emit
microscopic particles bearing human scent. Millions
oI these are airborne and are carried by the wind Ior
considerable distances. The air-scenting SAR dog is
trained to locate the scent oI any human in a speciIic
search area. The dog is not restricted to the missing
person's track and can search long aIter the track is
obliterated. Many air-scenting search dogs are also
trained in trailing/scent discrimination.

Upon arrival at the search site, dog handlers work
directly Ior their unit's Operations Leader, who reports
to the search boss or incident commander oI the local
agency. Many units provide their own base camp
operation, with trained radio operators, SAR dog
advisors, and other support personnel.

AIter initial hasty searches oI trails and paths, each
dog/handler team is usually assigned a segment oI the
search area to cover systematically. Handlers work
their dogs downwind oI the section assigned to them

Page 4 FLYlNG EAGLE5
or cover the area in a way that provides dogs with the best
scenting coverage.

Handlers map the area they have covered and report their
POD (probability oI detection) to the Plans Section or
Operations Leader upon completing their assignments.

Search dogs can work in areas where other searchers have
been, and they can work with other search resources, such
as man trackers. Using scent articles, they can discriminate
Ior the missing person in heavily populated areas. They can
work day or night, in most kinds oI weather, and are
especially eIIective where human sight is most limited -- in
the dark, in dense woods or heavy brush, in debris (as Iound
in earthquakes, Iloods, and tornadoes), and under water.

PRE-PLANNNG FOR ACTVTES:
t is great that we have trainers, certified trainers
and individuals who work together for the good of
Civil Air Patrol. We plan training weekends, and
decide who teaches what, who certifies who, and
take care of all the great training that is to be
learned in one long weekend.
mportant in the entire scheme is Logistics. t is
Logistics which supports all of the great training
by providing shelter, field gear, food, water, toilet
facilities, etc.
n the Civilian world, the guys and girls who set
up and are behind the scenes are known as
"roadies. When all is said and done, they are the
ones who take it all down and pack it all up until
the next time there is a need. They are the ones
who make sure that everything works well and is
serviceable.

n Civil Air Patrol, the same thing applies for any
kind of activity. Everyone arrives there for the
training, goes through the days and nights with
everything in place for them, and then leaves to
go home. For a moment, however, let's go
behind the scenes.

Who picks the most accessible area before the
training begins, who sets up the tents, who places
the support equipment out in the most accessible
places, who maintains the equipment as the
training takes place and when everyone goes to
sleep, who rushes to the aid of the trainer when
something is needed at the last minute, and who
cleans up, packs up, and hauls off everything af-
ter everyone else is gone?

There are many who take for granted that all will
be handled. They do not realize nor thank the
dedicated few who give up both personal and
work time to get it all done.
These dedicated few, heroes as they are, get
tired, yet they are still there almost every time that
they are needed. A few simple rules will improve
the overall smooth functioning of all Squadron
activities:
1. Be sure to give the Support Team enough
time to properly plan and support an activity.
2. Don't take them for granted.
3. Be sure to say thank you to everyone who
makes an activity possible, even if that person
works "behind the scenes.
THE CADET TRALER EXPANSON PROJECT:
t continues, at least the destruction and
construction phases of the project. The electrical
area is another story and still needs to be solved.
t is getting close to the time for the power to be
cut off in the Cadet trailer, so that the adjacent
trailer can be spliced to the existing one. The TV
and refrigerator must be moved soon. During the
Thanksgiving Holidays, the cutting out of the
existing Cadet trailer will be done. So, if you get
the urge to tear down a wall, let me know. Right
now we have three, and we could use five.

Well, that's about it from Logistics and Supply.
You know where will be for the rest of this month,
and most of next month as well.

NUTS and BOLTS
With 2Lt David Maney, Leadership & Activities Officer
Extrapolated from CAP R52-16
CAP Cadet Program Management

2-4. PROMOTIONS.
a. A new Cadet grade is earned when the Cadet completes each achievement (except achieve-
ment 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, or 16, which conIer no promotion in grade) and the Squadron Com-
mander (or Deputy Commander Ior Cadets) signs the CAPF 52-1 (or 52-2, 52-3, 52-4 as ap-
propriate). When the Squadron Commander or the Deputy Commander Ior Cadets signs a ca-
det`s CAPF 52, they are attesting to the Cadet`s ability to assume the next grade. By promot-
ing a Cadet, the Squadron Commander is recognizing that the individual is capable oI accept-
ing increased responsibility.
b. There are no temporary promotions or demotions, including temporary or 'Iield promo-
tions or demotions at encampments and other activities.
c. There are no discretionary grades.
d. Cadets will wear their earned grade on their uniIorm at every CAP activity.
e. Commanders should retain a Cadet in grade iI the Cadet`s perIormance or maturity does not
demonstrate an ability to accept increased responsibility commensurate with the promotion. In
such instances, Commanders will provide the Cadet with appropriate counseling to include
a synopsis oI the skills and behaviors that the Cadet must improve upon. A date Ior a subse-
quent review will be made. Use oI the CAPF 50 Cadet Progression Evaluation is required.
f. A Cadet Progression Evaluation using the CAPF 50 will be made at least once per phase.
Evaluators will be Cadet oIIicers oI higher grades than the Cadet being evaluated, or Senior
Members. Commanders may approve or disapprove the evaluation; ultimately, it is the Unit
Commander`s responsibility to ensure the Cadet`s progress is evaluated properly and that he
or she receives appropriate counseling once per phase.
g. Cadets must be able to recite Irom memory the Cadet Oath in order to be promoted. The Ca-
det Oath is: 'I pledge that I will serve IaithIully in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program, and
that I will attend meetings regularly, participate actively in unit activities, obey my oIIi-
cers, wear my uniIorm properly, and advance my education and training rapidly to prepare
myselI to be oI service to my community, state, and nation.
h. Cadet grades may be abbreviated. C/AB, C/Amn, C/A1C, C/SrA, C/SSgt, C/TSgt, C/MSgt,
C/SMSgt, C/CMSgt, C/2d Lt, C/1stLt, C/Capt, C/Maj, C/LtCol, C/Col

CAPR 52-16 2-3 Progression
Each achievement in the Cadet Program will be completed sequentially.
Achievement 1 can be achieved any time after the date joined.
All other achievements require a minimum 60-day separation
between completion of each of the achievements
(except for 1ROTC participants who may progress monthly).

SAIL TIPS

After tossing her books on the sofa, she decided
to grab a snack and get on-line . She logged on
under her screen name ByAngel213. She
checked her Buddy List and saw GoTo123 was
on. She sent him an instant message:
ByAngel213:
Hi. 'm glad you are on! thought someone was
following me home today. t was really weird!
GoTo123:
LOL You watch too much TV. Why would
someone be following you? Don't you live in a
safe neighborhood?
ByAngel213:
Of course do. LOL guess it was my imagination
cuz' didn't see anybody when looked out.
GoTo123:
Unless you gave your name out on-line. You
haven't done that, have you?
ByAngel213:
Of course not. 'm not stupid you know.
GoTo123:
Did you have a softball game after school today?
ByAngel213:
Yes, and we won!!
GoTo123:
That ' s great ! Who di d you pl ay?
ByAngel213:
We played the Hornets. LOL. Their uniforms are
so gross! They look like bees. LOL
GoTo123:
What is your team called?
ByAngel213:
We are the Canton Cats. We have tiger paws on
our uniforms. They are really cool.
GoTo123:
Did you pitch?
ByAngel213:
No play second base. got to go. My homework
has to be done before my parents get home.
don't want them mad at me. Bye!
GoTo123:
Catch ! you later. Bye
Meanwhile......GoTo123 went to the member
menu and began to search for her profile. When
it came up, he highlighted it and printed it out. He
took out a pen and began to write down what he
knew about Angel so far.
Her name: Shannon / Birthday: Jan. 3, 1985
Age: 13 / State where she lived: North Carolina

Hobbies: softball, chorus, skating and going to the
mall. Besides this information, he knew she lived
in Canton because she had just told him. He knew
she stayed by herself until 6:30 p.m. every after-
noon until her parents came home from work. He
knew she played softball on Thursday afternoons
on the school team, and the team was named the
Canton Cats. Her favorite number 7 was printed
on her jersey. He knew she was in the eighth
grade at the Canton Junior High School . She had
told him all this in the conversations they had on-
line. He had enough information to find her now.
Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident
on the way home from the ballpark that day, and
by Thursday, Shannon had forgotten about the
footsteps following her. At her game, she
suddenly felt someone staring at her. She
glanced up and saw a man watching her closely.
He was leaning against the fence behind first base
and he smiled when she looked at him. He didn't
look scary and she quickly dismissed the sudden
fear she had felt.

t was only a few blocks to Shannon's house and
she didn't notice the man walking a safe distance
behind her. Later that evening, she heard voices
in the living room. Her Father called to her. When
she entered the living room, the man from the ball-
park was sitting on the sofa.
"Do you know who am, Shannon ?" the strange
man asked.
"No," Shannon answered.
The man continued. " am a police officer and
your online friend, GoTo123."
Shannon was stunned. "That's impossible! GoTo
is a kid my age! He's 14 and lives in Michigan!
The man smiled. " know told you all that, but it
wasn't true. You see, Shannon, there are people
on-line who pretend to be kids so that they can
hurt them. belong to a group of parents who do
this to protect kids from predators.
came here to find you to teach you how danger-
ous i! t is to talk to people on-line. You told me
enough about yourself to make it easy for me to
find you.
hope you've learned a lesson from this and won't
do it again Tell others about this so they will be
safe too.
"t's a promise! This is information that everyone
needs to know.
(Thank you Capt Colson for passing this info on.)

The third in a training series Ior Cadet
Command StaII and Element Leaders began at
0900 on Saturday, September 30th, and
concluded at 1700 hrs on Sunday, October 1st.
'For this exercise, I want everyone to remove
their grade insignia, began Lt. Maney, the
Leadership OIIicer, as we sat around long
tables in the Cadet Trailer. 'Now that we are
all basics, we can address any problems or
complaints both openly and honestly, without
Iear oI reprisal. During the next hour, an
open and honest discussion ensued. Everyone
had the opportunity to express and work out
solutions to problems and complaints.
For the next assignment, everyone gathered
outside around the Ilagpole. The group was
divided in halI, each group was requested to
select a leader, and the outside Ilower beds
were divided between the two groups. The
objective was to ascertain which group could
most eIIectively remove the weeds and
manicure the overgrown Ilower beds in the
short amount oI time allotted.
The Iollowing assignments were to clean and
straighten the Senior and Cadet Trailers. The
Cadet leader appointed additional leaders in
order to successIully divide the chores. In
addition to the Cadet and Senior Trailers, all
debris was removed Irom the grounds. By the
end oI the morning, there was a deIinite
improvement in the compound as a whole. All
agreed that the objectives were clear, and both
the leaders and Iollowers worked well together
to complete their tasks.
AIter lunch, there was an in-depth discussion
to determine the main tasks in what we call
The Six Step Pyramid. Each position Irom
Cadet Commander to Element Leader will be
responsible Ior six tasks which can be
evaluated.. The positions oI Element Leader
and Flight Sgt were analyzed and six tasks
were assigned to each position. (On Sunday,
the remaining Cadet StaII positions were
assigned six tasks each.)
Page 10 FLYlNG EAGLE5
Evaluations will take place on a regular basis
and will be passed up the Chain oI Command
Ior perusal and then down the Chain oI
Command Ior necessary corrections.
Due to previous commitments, we were leIt
with minimal Cadet Command at the end oI
the day. The remaining Cadet StaII and
Senior Members leIt the compound at the
end oI the day, drove the short distance to Lt
Maney`s house, and set up tents in his
backyard. AIter a dinner break, we discussed
and then acted out several scenarios which
involve both major and minor Cadet
inIractions.
On Sunday morning, the Iull Cadet StaII
gathered at the Squadron. Everyone was
given an opportunity to act-out both the
major and minor Cadet inIractions which
were discussed the previous night. We
analyzed the most eIIective approach when
dealing with an uncooperative Cadet, when
it is appropriate to handle a problem
independently, and when an inIraction is
severe enough to by-pass the Cadet Chain oI
Command and go directly to the DCC.
AIter lunch, tasks Ior the remaining Cadet
Command StaII were discussed and
assigned. In response to the question oI
what to plan Ior a Cadet-led activity at the
Intensive Leadership Training Encampment
at the end oI October, it was decided that we
should oIIer the suggestion oI creating a
Cadet-led Quiz Bowl.
The rest oI the aIternoon was devoted to
planning the October Moral Leadership
session. Cadets Blake, Mathias, Robbins,
and Colson will lead the evening on the
topic 'LiIe From The Eyes OI Teenagers.
To Iurther the concept 'Cadets Lead The
Way, it was decided Cadets must adhere to
the Iollowing guidelines:
First Week: Call the SM involved Ior approval
Second Week: Present the concept in writing.
Third Week: Present a detailed written description
Fourth Week: Present the topic

In response to my question In order to participate in a SAREX, what requirements must be
met?" 1Lt PhiI BoyIan, the DCC from the Rome Composite Squadron offered this advice:

You must pass the onIine open-book tests for the ES-116 parts 1 and 2.
Take the ES116 part 1 and part 2 . Sometimes when you take the combined exam
(parts 1 & 2) it doesn't record properIy in MIMS that you've taken part 2 of the test.
https://tests.cap.af.miI/ops/tests/defauIt.cfm?Message=Ok&grp=dos
98% of the questions are taken from materiaI in CAPR 60-3, the reguIation for CAP Emergency
Services Training and OperationaI Missions. Here's the Iink to CAPR 60-3:
http://IeveI2.cap.gov/documents/u_082503073358.pdf
A few questions in part 2 of the ES116 test are taken from the financiaI reimbursement reguIa-
tions, CAPR 173-3, Payment for CiviI Air PatroI Support.

The Iink to aII CAP OperationaI (ES) training is:
http://IeveI2.cap.gov/visitors/programs/operations/ops_onIine_courses_exams/
Cadets need to know how to find it because it has the wing runner test and course Iinks, as weII
as the ES116 tests.
When you get the ES116 done you shouId be abIe to print out your CAPF-101 card and it wiII
show "GES" as a Iisted quaIification. That's your entry ticket to participate in SAREXs and to
continue your training if you so desire.

(Our Squadron's Liaison to the Air Force)












di d want t o pass on some
information. The Air Force has just
launched a new promotional website,
www.dosomethingamazing.com, which
has some neat videos on it. t highlights
some of the most interesting jobs in the
Air Force.

Being in Civil Air Patrol Ior just over Iour years taught me
many leadership skills, determination, selI-reliance, and
responsibility. I will be able to use all oI these traits and
rely on them Ior the rest oI my liIe. CAP is an extremely
valuable resource in the training oI tomorrow`s corporate
and military leaders.

Due to unIortunate overcrowding in my schedule, I will no
longer be able to participate in the Bartow-Etowah
Composite Squadron. BeIore my departure, however, I
would like to leave the Cadets with some oI the lessons
that I have learned.

1. Trust your leaders, whether they are Senior Members or
Cadets. They probably know what they are doing
2. Read your books to promote. It`s Irom where the tests
are made.
3. Rank and grade doesn`t mean you`re a leader. It helps,
but you have to earn your position
4. Don`t take it personally iI you get passed up Ior a
position. Try harder, and it won`t happen again.
5. Don`t hold grudges. We`re all human and make
mistakes. So, apologize and keep going.
6. The hardest one to learn is that when you are in a
leadership position, you need to hold yourselI to
higher standards.

I wish the best to the Squadron and all its members. My
experiences during the past Iour years will stay with me
Ior the rest oI my liIe. I will try to keep in touch. II any
Cadet ever has a question Ior me, do not hesitate to call me
at 678-491-0719.

Good luck and best wishes,

C/2Lt Sam Raybon

MARK YOUR CALENDARS 2nd Thursday of every month 1800 sharp
The Cadet Command Meeting meets in the Cadet Trailer.
General Knowledge
The Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary oI the United States Air Force. National Headquarters,
NHZCAP, is located in Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The nation is divided into eight Regions, and we are in
the Southeast Region.
Each Region is broken up into Wings. There are 52 Wings in the United States. We are in the Georgia
Wing (GAWG). Large Wings are subdivided into Groups which contain two or more Squadrons. We are in
Group I.
There are Senior Squadrons, Cadet Squadrons, and Composite Squadrons. Our Squadron, the Bartow-
Etowah Composite Squadron (GA129) is a composite Squadron.
Our Squadron Commander is Capt. Don Colson., our Deputy Commander oI Cadets is 1Lt. Ilana Mor,
and our Cadet Commander is C/2Lt Alex Blake.
THESE AIR FORCE MEMBERS DID
WHAT THEIR GRANDMOTHERS COULDN'T DO!












The 376th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, flew an ALL FEMALE
KC-135 Strato tanker air refueling mission over Afghanistan on Jan. 31.
Early on Jan. 31, a KC-135 Strato tanker took off from Ganci Air Base,
Kyrgyzstan, carrying more than 180,000 pounds of fuel and an all-female
crew-both pilots, a navigator and a boom operator. The event marked the
first all-female crew to fly an air refueling mission into Afghanistan from
Ganci. Capt. Heather, and the boom operator, Senior Airman Lyndi, are all
assigned to the 99th Air Refueling Squadron at Robins Air Force Base,
Ga. They have been deployed here since Dec. 9.
(Hugh P. Young, Contracting Officer, KC-10/KDC-10, Tinker AFB, OK)
For those non Air Force folks a KC-135 Stratotanker is the size of
a Boeing 707 4 engine passenger jet.
