Squadron Commander
Capt. Don Colson

EXCELLENCE comes Irom
dedicated hard work over an
extended period oI time. As
one oI our CORE CAP
VALUES, we are obligated to
work at our chosen specialties
and develop our skills so that
when called upon, we will be
ready.

We are planning an ambitious
training program Ior next year
and we strongly encourage all
to participate in as many oI
the training exercises as you
can. Our Iocus will be on
building upon the skills that
you have already developed,
and then to add additional
qualiIications so that we, as a
Squadron, will be able to
respond to a wider variety oI
calls in the Iuture. QualiIied
Mission Base StaII Personnel
are in short supply in the
Georgia Wing. We will make
every eIIort to help our Wing
Iill this need. Both CAP
OIIicers and Cadets are able
to train in these positions, so
please see Capt. Collins or me
iI you are interested.

The holiday season is here,
and, as usual, we will be busy.
We will again support the
Bartow County DFCS in their
eIIorts to provide toys Ior
the children under their
supervision. Last year, nine
Cadets and three CAP
OIIicers participated in the
sorting and delivery oI
presents, as part oI Bartow
Counties 'Silent Santa
Program.

The program is important in
making the lives and
holidays a little brighter Ior
not only the recipients, but
also Ior those who gave a
little time to help.

I know that the holidays
will be hectic Ior everyone
and that travels may prevent
you Irom being at the CAP
holiday party on Thursday,
December 14
th
so in
advance, let me wish every
one oI you a Happy
and saIe Thanksgiving,
a joyIul Hanukkah , and a
very Merry Christmas. For
those that will be in town,
please plan to be with us at
the party and help us with
the 'Silent Santa Program.

HIGH INTENSITY CADET LEADERSHIP TRAINING WEEKEND
27-29 October 2006
Cadets from the Bartow-Etowah, Cobb, and Rome Composite Squadrons joined together for a
challenging weekend filled with multiple opportunities to explore and apply the many principles of both
Leadership and Followership, and how both are important in enabling a team to achieve its goals.
There were times of work and times of play. Goals set for the weekend were successfully and
professionally accomplished, and due to their success while testing, many Cadets are now one step
closer to their next promotion.

The CTW provided the opportunity for Cadets below the grade of C/CMSgt to complete requirements
for their next achievement through Leadership Labs, Rotating Leadership and Aerospace Classes, and
a Scavenger Hunt which was designed to apply knowledge and principles previously learned. Cadet
Officers and Senior NCOs had opportunities to lead, mentor, and instruct both classes and activities.

HIGH INTENSITY CADET LEADERSHIP WEEKEND
Page 3 FLYlNG EAGLE5


It is always a great joy Ior me to be present during any CAP
meeting or activity, but the High Intensity Cadet Training
Weekend deIinitely rates high on my list oI rewarding CAP
events. This Leadership Weekend gave Cadets the opportunity to
understand and experience the importance each individual has in
the overall CAP mission. Some oI the tenets oI Civil Air Patrol
were reinIorced through Iocus upon how to accomplish the
diIIerent tasks required in the organization. Although I was only
able to stay Ior a short time, it was clear to see that the energy and
motivation I sensed upon my arrival would remain and ensure
that the weekend would be successIul.
I participated with the Cadet OIIicers during the Leadership Lab
portion oI the training weekend. Many things were discussed, but
in my opinion the one item that is an essential key element Ior all
ranks to know is that regardless oI which position you hold in
your Squadron, you are ALL key contributors to your unit and
the overall CAP mission. Make a diIIerence and input your ideas
to make your time in CAP a rewarding experience. Be proactive,
not reactive! As a Cadet Airman or NCO, Iollow your chain oI
command and let your leadership know your ideas Ior
improvement or eIIiciency. As a Cadet OIIicer, translate those
ideas into reality.
The CTW was a measure oI the hard work and input that devoted
Senior Members add, as they help guide Cadets to be successIul
in the organization. This weekend event sets the benchmark Ior
Cadet success in CAP. Congratulations to all who participated!

Many thanks to the Experimental AircraIt Association Ior allowing us to use their campgrounds and to the
Rome Composite Squadron Ior the use oI their Iacilities Ior the weekend.
This weekend would not have been possible without the dedication and support oI the Senior Members Irom
the Bartow-Etowah and Rome Composite Squadrons. Deep appreciation is extended to all who participated
and made this weekend into a memorable experience Ior us all.

A Flying 129
th
Milestone
On Saturday, October 24
th
, at around 12 midnight, a call was received by me Irom Lt. Col.
Paul Branson, the Georgia Wing Incident Commander on duty. An Emergency Locator
Transmitter had been picked up by the SARSAT satellite, and he needed an aircrew to help
locate it. Could Bartow Etowah cover it? I was elated, even though I had just gone to bed. I
was elated because our Squadron has been training Ior this call Ior at least Iour-and-a-halI
years.
I wrote down the two sets oI coordinates that the satellite had recorded, and told him that I
would call him when the crew was at the aircraIt. Then, I called Major Walker, who had
recently qualiIied as a Mission Observer, and woke him up. He too had just gone to bed
and had that same Iirst reaction oI disbelieI. Then, like me, he remembered what we are
trying to accomplish as a Squadron. He immediately took down the coordinates and told
me that he would be at the aircraIt when I arrived since he lives about twenty minutes closer
to the airport than I do.
We pre-flighted the aircraIt, plotted the coordinates and called the IC and told him we were
ready to go. He gave us the mission number and Irequencies to contact both him and the
ground team who were coming out oI Peachtree City. We took oII at 0100...not bad.
We took oII to the South, since the coordinates were between West Georgia Regional
Airport and Douglasville. We immediately picked up the ELT on both our aircraIt radio
and the DF radio. AIter some time, we decided that the signal was probably coming Irom
the airport since no aircraIt had been reported over due.
The ground team was initially sent to the Dobbins AFB because the ELT showed up as a
military Irequency. We received approval Irom the IC to land at West Georgia and
investigate. Major Walker had his handheld radio and proceeded to check the ramp. The
signal was extremely strong, and we were certain the ELT was on the airport. A call by cell
phone to the IC redirected the ground team to our location. They had no ELT contacts at
Dobbins.
The IC called local law enIorcement to let them know we were there and why. A deputy
met us when we landed. Major Walker Ielt that he had conIirmed the hangar where he
thought the ELT was, and when the ground team arrived about 45 minutes later, they too
conIirmed his Iindings using the DF gear. They had to wait until the airport manager or the
owner oI the hangar was summoned to the airport to open up and shut down the ELT. The
IC released us to return to Base. We landed back at VPC around 0500 and secured the
aircraIt.
Both Major Walker and I had a deep Ieeling oI accomplishment. We knew what we had just
done. This is why we joined CAP. So, when you get that call which will probably be in the
middle oI the night, remember why we are here and why we train. The Wing now knows
that the Flying 129
th
is ready.

Well, here it is November already, and
Turkey Day is coming up. During the week
of Thanksgiving, will be at the Complex
cutting out the wall of the Cadet Trailer.
Hopefully, will have some help.
My son should be there helping, and Senior
Member Harry Mc Coy will be there to help
for a couple of days. As for me, am only
taking Thanksgiving off. All that week will
be working toward getting the wall cut out,
getting the floor between the two trailers
spliced, and getting the center support put
in. Then we can look forward to installing
carpet.
Even though will complete this phase of
the project, there is still a lot of other work
to be done. The electrical power must be
cut to the Cadet Trailer during this time.
So, until the electrical power will be
restored, all activities will need to be
electrically serviced from another trailer by
way of extension cords and portable
lighting. will need to get some help in this
since will be really busy doing other
projects each Thursday night that am
there.
hope that all of you have a great Turkey
Day and time with your family.
JUST REMEMBER...NOTHING HAPPENS OR
GETS DONE AROUND HERE WITHOUT THE
BACKSTAGE WORK OF A SPECIAL FEW.
So, as you say your Thanksgiving Prayers,
please remember to give thanks for the
devotion of all who give of themselves, often
without thanks, so that the Civil Air Patrol
experience will be memorable for us all.
That is all. will definitely be in the area with
saw dust, scrap wood, and a lot of junk to be
thrown out.

The Bartow-Etowah Composite Squadron really got a chance to show the United Way how much we appreciate
them. At the same time, once again, United Way showed our Squadron how much they appreciate the work we do
Ior them and the community.

On October 14
th
& 15
th
, Cartersville held their annual Indian Festival, and the United Way put out an email
request Ior help with Parking & Security. Four volunteers represented our Squadron: Capt. Don Colson,
C/SSgt Kathryn Colson, Senior Member Diane Colson and 2Lt Jean Freese. They worked Ior Iour hours and
earned $800.00 Ior the Squadron in doing so.

The United Way and many others were very impressed on how well the team Iunctioned as one United team.

The United Way
This year`s last mission will be Operation Silent Santa This kind oI mission brings out the best in everyone
because we are supporting the Department oI Family and Children's Services Silent Santa Program Ior Children in
Foster Care. Our Mission is to deliver donated toys to Ioster homes all over the county.

In order to accomplish this Mission, we have set aside two weekends and a special Iorce Ior Christmas Eve. The
Bartow-Etowah Composite Squadron, supported by attached personnel Irom the Boy Scouts oI America Troop 157
and Georgia State DeIense Force 1st BN oI Rome, answered the call Irom DFCS.

The Bartow County DFCS is in a desperate situation and could not cover the delivery oI toys Ior the Silent Santa
Program. They just didn't have the manpower due to caseloads and being short on personnel. DFCS Supervisors
called out to the community Ior help.

Our mission is to collect toys Ior DFCS and help deliver them to Ioster homes in Bartow County beIore Christmas
Day. In the next Iew meetings the distribution schedule will be issued, and we will be looking Ior volunteers to
help with the program.

Drug Demand Reduction with 2 Lt Freese, DDRO
Last month, we celebrated Red Ribbon week. Throughout the month oI October, posters and ribbons were handed
out. We had lively discussions about drug use that ranged Irom smoking cigarettes all the way to what meth does
your body the Iirst time you try it. Most importantly, we talked about the courage and selI-conIidence that it takes
to SAY NO.

Dealing with peer pressure is not an easy task Ior anyone. We talked about diIIerent ways to Sav No, Irom just
walking away to having a Iunny comeback. I have challenged each oI you to come up with a humorous response
which you can have ready Ior the next time that someone oIIers you cigarettes, alcohol, or any drugs that can get
you high.

Throughout the next several meetings, I will be asking Cadets, at random, what Iunny responses you have
developed. So, BE READY WITH AN ANSWER!

For Cadets ONLY

On Thursday, October 9th, Tim Mitchem, an Emory Flight pilot, and Amy Richardson, an Emory Flight nurse
spoke with Cadets about how Ilight ambulances play a vital part in saving people`s lives. Emory Flight covers a
30 mile ring in Northeast Georgia. They are dispatched Irom Nevada over Southern link radio.

There are three people on a crew: a pilot, a nurse, and a paramedic. Pilots are on-duty Ior seven days, and then
oII Ior seven days. They work days Ior halI oI their shiIt , and Ior the other halI they work nights. The Medical
Crew works Ior twenty-Iour hours, and then are oII Ior Iorty-eight hours. A lot oI the Medical Crew are dual
certiIied. To prepare oneselI Ior a medical career, a student should have a heavy concentration oI studies in
Math, Science, Biology, and Anatomy. Going to EMT School Ior nine months is a good way to get your Ieet
wet. Most pilots received their education and training in the military, rather than spending at least $60,000 as a
civilian.

The Emory Flight helicopter has been used by the police and Iire departments, as well as Ior hospital transIers.
However, the helicopter is not used during inclement weather, because the pilots must be able to see.

To conclude the evening, and as a special treat, Cadets went to the Emory Flight Headquarters Ior a
demonstration and explanation oI the helicopter itselI.
Many thanks to Tim Mitchem and Amy Richardson from Emory FIight

What choices does one have when goals
and commitments conflict?
Many of our Squadron's active Cadets
juggle a heavy load of schoolwork,
participate in several outside activities,
and hold part-time jobs. On occasion,
they are not able to attend CAP
meetings because of school-related
commitments, and at times they can not
participate in planned CAP activities.
At times, Cadets indicate their desire to
participate in a planned activity or to
assume a leadership position, but then
disappoint others when they do not fulfill
their promises.

What should you do when a commitment
which affects one part of your life affects
a goal that you've set in a different part
of your life?

1. Be certain that you have the time to
adequately fulfill a leadership
position.
2. Before you commit to participate in a
planned activity, be sure that you or
your family have not made a previous
commitment. f you do not clear
dates with your family, it is possible
that they will plan a family outing
during the weekend of a major CAP
activity.
3. f a last minute conflict interferes with
your commitment, contact the POC
for the event immediately.

As a Cadet, you have given your word
that you will strive to fulfill the goals
set forth in the Cadet Oath.
THL CADLT OATH

Realize that when you give your
word to assume a leadership position
or to attend a planned activity, other
people are counting on you. Do your
best to not let them down.
The great poet Robert Frost once
wrote about the difficulty of desiring to
do one thing, but being bound to do
something else because of a
promise:

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep, and miles
to go before I sleep."

AIways strive to be a person
who can be counted on
because their word is their
bond.

SAILTY DOVN DAY


n CAP, Battle Buddies are expected to follow a set of
safety procedures that improve chances of avoiding or
surviving accidents. Each Cadet Buddy has a
responsibility to the other. Buddies are expected to
monitor each other, stay close enough together to be able
to help in an emergency, behave safely, and follow the
plan agreed upon by the group before the activity begins.

When the system fails, it is generally because one of the
Cadet Buddies does not fulfill his or her responsibilities as
a buddy.
YOUR BATTLE BUDDY IS AN EXTRA SET OF EYES AND EARS.
THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
Cold weather is arrived once again, and it is essential that
we know how to protect ourselves from hypothermia.

1. Cotton is the quickest route to hypothermia. t is
important to wear wool clothing and to protect yourself
from the wind.
2. Wear thin layers of clothing, but do not get
overheated.
3. The most heat is lost from your head, hands, and feet.
Be sure to wear hats and gloves when you are out in
the cold.

FIRE SAFETY
1. Be cautious with your vehicle in a combustible area. A
small spark can cause a major explosion.
2. f you're using a lantern (never inside a tent), allow it to
completely cool before you put it away.
3. When creating a fire pit, be sure to dig a hole and
clear the area.
4. When putting out a fire, be sure to drown the fire with
water and then put dirt on the coals.
5. Products in spray cans are usually very combustible.
6. f you catch on fire, stop, drop, and roll. To put out
fires, use wet towels and dirt blankets.
C/Commander Blake

SAILTY DOVN DAY

1. f someone is on fire, never drop and roll them.
Smother the fire instead.
2. Remove contaminated clothing, but do not touch it.
3. Flood the area with water to wash off the chemicals.
4. Remove anything that restricts the area.
5. Do not pull away anything that is stuck to the skin.
6. Elevate a burned limb.
7. DO NOT APPLY CREAMS OR BUTTER.
8. Shock and infection can set in from a large burn.
Seek proper medical attention.

HOW TO HELP A VICTIM IN AN ACCIDENT
Squadron Commander Colson
1. Always keep your skills up-to-date. Remember to
keep calm, evaluate the situation, and make sure that
whatever hurt the victim can not hurt you.
2. Move victim as little as possible, but if the area is
dangerous, move the victim carefully .
3. Prioritize your treatment of the victim. Check the
following: ARWAY, BREATHNG, CRCULATON,
CONSCOUSNESS.
4. Keep the victim warm. Loosen belts.
5. Have someone call 911. Stay calm.

ALWAYS BE PREPARED.

SaIety OIIicer Fouts
Page 11 FLYlNG EAGLE5
1. Know evacuation routes in advance. n an
emergency, use an object to break a window, if you
are unable to exit through a window or a door.
2. Have emergency telephone numbers handy.
3. Know how to turn off the water, electricity, and gas.
4. Know the location of usable fire extinguishers.
5. Have flashlights with charged batteries within easy
access.
6. Exit quickly. Your life is infinitely more important
than the valuables that you are attempting to save.
7. Do not become smug or complacent. That is the
breeding ground for accidents.

Air Force Memorial oIIicially dedicated (From AF Print news)

'A Soldier can walk the battleIields where he once Iought," said President George W. Bush. "A Marine can walk
the beaches he once stormed, but an Airman can never visit the patch oI sky he raced across to deIend Ireedom.
And so, it is Iitting that Irom this day Iorward, the men and women oI the Air Force will have this memorial."

The ceremony took place mid-October oIIicially dedicating the Air Force Memorial on October 14, 2006. Located
in the nation`s capital, the event was attended by many dignitaries and included a Ilyover oI many aircraIt Ilown
throughout history Irom WWI bi-planes to today`s Iighters. Also participating was the Thunderbirds.

Former CAP cadet becomes Iirst woman Thunderbird pilot (From American Forces Press Service)

The Air Force Memorial Ilyover by the Thunderbirds was very special since it included the participation oI the Iirst
woman Thunderbird pilot. Major Nicole Malachowski Ilies the No. 3 jet as the right wing pilot in the
Thunderbirds` diamond Iormation.

Malachowski Iirst became interested in Ilying at the age oI 5, when she saw an air show in her native Las Vegas.
She set her sights on becoming an Air Force pilot and never looked back. She started Ilying with the Civil Air
Patrol when she was 12, and by 16 was doing solo Ilights. AIter high school, she attended the Air Force Academy
and has since seen various assignments as an F-15E pilot, including a tour in Iraq. She said she hopes that her
service in the Thunderbirds is an example to young girls and to all children that they can achieve their dreams.

'The message to all young Americans is that it`s great to have a dream; it`s great to have goals, she said. 'Pursue
something that you are passionate about, then pursue excellence in that, and surround yourselI with a positive
team. I hope that when they see the Air Force Thunderbirds, they realize they can achieve any dream, and that a
great team to have is certainly the Air Force.


The information in this column is general AF-specific
news that will undoubtedly be of interest to Civil Air
Patrol. It is my pleasure to share this information with
the Squadrons that I oversee.

4. II you should happen to Iind yourselI lost, you can use the ORANGE trash bag to signal searching aircraIt.
5. II you should happen to need shelter, you can cut the ORANGE trash bag into a shelter halI.

GAWG POLICY LETTER 07P-002
SPAATZ INCENTIVES
18 OCTOBER 2006

1. In looking at the GAWG Cadet records, I see that
we have quite a number oI Cadets who have
completed the Eaker, and even more that have
completed the Earhart.
2. I eventually want to see everyone oI our Cadets
receive the Carl A. Spaatz Award. At this time, you
probably do not realize the positive impact this
award will have on the rest oI your liIe.
3. As an added incentive, I am going to give every
Cadet who completes the requirements Ior the
Spaatz Award between now and the 2007 Summer
National Boards, a check Ior one hundred dollars
($100) with the intent that this will be applied to
your college Iund or 529 account.
4. The 2007 Summer National Boards will be held on
the 9th through the 11th oI August 2007 and will be
located in Atlanta, GA.
5. I believe the most Spaatz Awards that have ever
been given in Georgia in any one year is three (3).
Let`s try to set a record Ior Fiscal Year 2007 that
will raise the standard and set new goals Ior
GAWG.
Lyle E. Letteer, Col, CAP/Georgia Wing Commander

SCHOLARSHIPS
The Flying Eagle Clan and the National Native American Veterans Association are oIIering three scholarships to
aid Cadets who desire to attend the upcoming SER Winter Encampment or the Region Cadet LeadershpSchool, but
Iinancial needs will prevent them. FEC and NNAVA believes the CAP Cadet Programs to be a great enhancement
to the development oI the young leaders oI today who will take their responsible positions oI tomorrow.


Applications are invited Irom any Cadet with any percentage oI Native American heritage. II no qualiIied Cadets
apply, non-Native American Cadets will be considered. Applications begin with an e-mail recommendation Irom

Flying Eagle in response to the recommendation. Scholarships are limited to no more than two times Ior any

Applications should be received by e-mail no later than November 11, 2006 to be considered. The Scholarship

scholarships may be awarded.
The 2006 Southeast Region Cadet Leadership School will be held 26-31 December at Arnold
