Within the Civil Air Patrol we use several abbreviations.
Let's review them:
On March 16 th , 2023, the cadets of the 9 th Composite Squadron headed outside to practice lighting fires at the Fairbanks hangar. The fire building exercise consisted of several stages. First the cadets had to light their fires (using only ferro rods and steel), build them to sufficient size to melt through a thin piece of paracord suspended over each fire building station, then use the firesto cook dessert with supplies provided by cadet leadership.

Before the cadets headed outside to begin the fire building, safety officer, C/MSgt T. Dote led a safety briefing. He asked the cadets to list possible hazards related to the exercise, such as splinters from the logs, burns, and smoke inhalation. He then described how to avoid them, then presented instructions and tips on how to properly light a fire.
Let’s see what our cadets and seniors were doing during the month of March and what our squadrons want to tell usC/Amn Jonah Reynolds (R) displays his marshmallow as Fairbanks cadets take turns cooking. 9th COS hangar, March 16, 2023.
Before the meeting started, cadets C/A1C L. Dote, C/SSgt C. Long, and C/Capt. Weisensel volunteered to shovel three firepits out of the snowbank. They constructed the firepits so that the fires, once lit, could be easily extinguished by pushing snow down into the fire. After the safety briefing, the cadets headed outside to begin the exercise. The cadets split into three teams, collected bark, wood, and dry pine covered in lichen, and headed to their respective fire area to begin working on their fire. Team 2 was the first to light their fire and melt their rope, followed by Team 3, then Team 1.
Once all three pieces of cord had been melted, team 2 was declared the winner, and all three teams cooked marshmallows and enjoyed tasty s’mores. The cadets extinguished the fires and debriefed in the warm hangar. The Fairbanks cadets had a fun and educational time learning an important element of winter survival.
Written by C/TSgt Hannah Long.As winter fades into spring, Lake-Hood Polaris Joint Cadet Operations has quickened its pace. An open house on March 28th preceded the Drills and Ceremonies meeting, giving prospective cadets a few hours of CAP to “test the waters”. Having two Drill and Ceremonies meetings this month has given the unit the chance to brush up on rusty drill.
Prospective cadets had another opportunity to learn about CAP customs and courtesies at Polaris during the ES meeting on February 7th, 2023. While they learned and built their foundation for future CAP involvement, the other cadets met at the Radio Club and learned how to read topographic maps, a vital skill for Emergency Services in Alaska, where elevation varies widely.
Continuing forward with rocketry, the Aerospace Education meeting on March 14th covered Newton’s Laws and aerodynamics. The highlight of the meeting was the rocket assembly, with teams of cadets measuring, cutting, and gluing to create their darts of the sky. The squadron is really looking forward to launching them later this year.
Though much of the snow has melted, outdoor PT has remained an elusive dream. Nonetheless, the squadron adapted to indoor PT, using March 21st’s meeting to pass PT tests for promotions. It wasn’t all pain though: C/SMSgt Tolbert-Nielsen arranged indoor games for the cadets and C/Lt Col Lukic presented an impromptu command voice class. This class was especially welcome, as some cadets had never had the chance to call commands using their diaphragms.
C/SrA Benjamin opened the Drill and Ceremonies meeting on March 28th with a great class on customs and courtesies. The Cadet Advisory Council report followed, and C/ CMSgt Wegemer presented her Chief’s speech on leadership mistakes and learning by experience. The Cadet Competition Team acted as color guard for the promotion ceremony, and their hours of practice were visible in their crisp, precise movements. Having a full promotion ceremony with the squadron emphasized the achievements of the cadets promoted that night.
As part of the activities carried out, cadets received instruction in Cyber Security in February and practiced job interviews in the cyber security field. Capt Baugh led the squadron in Comms tasks for GTM3. In March, cadets studied astronaut space suits and prepared layered protective “suits” to test on potatoes that were then “skewered.” Cadets also learned how their efforts can impact the squadron earning the Quality Cadet Unit Award annually. Current cadets solve Team Leadership Problems very quickly. Squadron leadership requests other squadrons to send highly-challenging TLPs their way!
The local VFW requested the squadron’s assistance in their upcoming Memorial Day ceremony. Other future plans include removing wreaths from the cemetery, and introducing newer cadets to the wonderful experience of glider flight.
The squadron, including several squadron parents, will be completing First Aid/CPR/AED training this month thanks to the instruction of Fort Greely Fire Department staff.
To the following members for their promotions:
C/A1C A. Harwood
C/Amn S. Knutson
C/Lt J Lorenzana
C/SSgt J. Medlin for earning the Wright Brothers Award
C/TSgt C Schmidt was awarded a Cadet Invest scholarship to attend the Medical Orientation and Training School NCSA in TX this July and is completing the prep work required.
Capt Schmidt completed TLC Advanced in February and was approved as a VolU instructor.
C/Amn Knutson and C/A1C Harwood received their First Flight Certificates for Cessna flights in February, thanks to Maj Low and Capt Mutehart.
On April 4th, the Arcturus cadets hosted a representative from Toastmasters International to talk about the organization and provide the cadets with a character development block on public speaking. Ms. Melissa Jean is the Club Growth Director for Toastmasters International District 32, which encompasses approximately 72 clubs throughout Alaska and parts of western Washington state.
According to the Toastmasters web page, there are 15 clubs in the Anchorage area and two clubs respectively in Palmer and Wasilla. Toastmasters International is a wonderful organization with the mission of helping people improve their public-speaking and leadership skills. With assistance from senior members Robert Davidson and Jeremaih Maierson, Ms. Jean presented the cadets with lots of good tips on speaking, and every cadet got the opportunity to give a speech.

On April 1st, 2023, 46 cadets representing 6 different squadrons from the Alaska Wing Civil Air Patrol toured F-22 Raptors of the 302nd Fighter Squadron on Joint Base ElmendorfRichardson. Lt Col Pearson, Commander of the 302nd, provided the guided tour and hosted the cadets at the 90th Fighter Squadron facilities.
Cadets began the day by falling into flights and reciting the pledge of allegiance. A safety briefing was conducted to inform cadets of rules within the hangar and the flight line. Cadets were introduced to several flight crews of the 302nd, and given a brief history of the squadron. The pilots flying that day were part of a program called Weekend Warriors, in which retired fighter pilots train a couple weekends a month flying reserve missions, in addition to working their normal jobs.
The F-22 crews provided cadets with an in-depth tour of the aircraft, to include the different flight systems, weaponry capabilities, and airframe components. Cadets were able to observe the inside of a Raptor missile bay and the jet intake. Cadets were even shown how the F-22’s missile defense and avoidance system operates, to include how the complex system is maintained.

“Because of the F-22’s design, it can fly supersonic without the use of afterburners,” said Lt Col Pearson when asked about the Raptor’s capabilities.
After touring an F-22 in the maintenance hangar, cadets were filed into the Operations Briefing Center to join pilots for their weather and operations morning flight briefing. After the briefing cadets followed the pilots to the equipment room, where Lt Col Pearson explained the mechanics of their flight suits. Several cadets were able to try on certain pieces of flight gear, such as vests orhelmets. Cadets then split into groups and moved outdoors, each visiting a designated hangar to observe an F-22 Raptor begin its flight preparation and start-up sequence.
Raptor ground crews explained to cadets how the F-22 uses a Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) system to begin a concentrated burn to warm up their engines. The pilots used this time to complete pre-flight checklists and test aircraft control surfaces. The F-22 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofan engines with afterburners and two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. After the engines were sufficiently warmed and all flight systems had been cleared, the F-22s began their taxi to the runway to begin their mission.
Cadets transitioned to a road adjacent the tarmac and watched as seven F-22s practiced afterburner take-off sequences with vertical climb-outs. After viewing the F-22’s take off, cadets moved to the Base Exchange (BX) for lunch, which offered numerous food options and shopping opportunities.
MSgt Cecil Johnson, a USAF C-130 Loadmaster out of Little Rock, Arkansas, approached senior members during lunch and offered an unscheduled viewing of the C-130 Hercules he is assigned to. Cadets were given a tour of the C-130, including a verbal presentation by MSgt Johnson. Cadets also used this opportunity to capture a group photo with him and the C-130.

When asked about the highlights of their day, C/Tsgt Alora Tolbert-Nielsen said this, “My two favorite things about the Raptor tour were watching the raptors take off, and being able to watch one of the pilots do a pre-flight check.” This concluded an exciting day of learning, opportunity, and fun for the cadets of Alaska Wing.

COMMANDING GENERAL, ARMY AIR FORCES
America need not fear for the future so long as her young men and women are air-minded. Civil Air Patrol Cadets, and others like them, will assure for this country a place of leadership in aviation. Among you are those who will design, build and fly bigger, faster, and more powerful airplanes than we know now. But a man must walk before he can run, and he must work hard and long before he can fly. Those of you who want to become flyers must begin now to learn the fundamentals of your chosen profession.
Your CAPC training program, for which this manual is a guide and aid, has been carefully planned to give you a solid foundation of aviation knowledge. This will be of decided advantage in flying training. It is important to your future in an aviation-conscious world. Flying demands a lot of you in return for the thrill and satisfaction it provides. You must study hard, be patient, and be thorough. Be greedy to learn everything you can about aviation. Your goal is well worth the effort.
In this section of your manual, you and your friends will find the answers to many questions about Civil Air Patrol Cadets, you will learn how your own particular unit of CAPC is run, and how it fits into the national organization. You will discover the type of Instructors you are to have and what they will teach you. You will read with pride of the Civil Air Patrol's record, and learn what Is being done for cadets by the Civil Air Patrol League, if those friends of yours who are not yet cadets can read here how they may qualify for membership in CAPC and learn of the advantages it offers. By letting them read the answers to their queries about CAPC you will thereby introduce them to your manual and the fascinating store of aviation facts It contains.
Position reports are really important, whether a radio operator is giving one or taking one. They need to be accurately logged. What can you do to increase accuracy?
If you are the sending station, ask that the receiving station READ BACK your position report. If the readback doesn’t match what you sent, say CORRECTION, and read the coordinates correctly. Again, ask the receiving station READ BACK. Do this until the receiving station has the coordinates correctly. If you are the receiving station, say I READ BACK, and read back what you copied. The sending operator may not ask for it.
Be aware of the format used in a position report. Lat/long can be sent as degrees/decimal degrees, degrees – minutes/decimal minutes, or degrees – minutes –seconds. In addition, other formats are used. For ground teams, UTM Grid makes more sense than lat/long, because it’s easier to calculate the distance between two sets of coordinates, so don’t be surprised to get a position report from a ground team in UTM Grid. If you’re dealing with military teams, they use MGRS, which is similar to UTM Grid.
Depending on how someone gives a position report, it’s possible to confuse the different lat/long formats, and UTM Grid and MGRS can be confused. If you’re giving a position report, consider giving the format as well, to reduce confusion.

In the past few years, some CAP mission responses have included extended over open water operations and other areas where no useful landing sites exist, such as rocky coastal islands and large mashes in tundra zones, and the trend is likely to continue. Operational Risk Management (ORM) requires the risk of these extended of these over-water missions to be mitigated by standardized training of aircrews and available equipment.
An extended over-water flight or sortie is defined as any flight operation conducted outside the normal power-off gliding distance to land, as determined by altitude, glide speed, wind speed, pilot technique and other determining factors.
CAP regulations (CAPR 70-1; 9.11.10.2.1-3) require that all crew members participating in extended over-water flights or sorties must have successfully completed over-water survival training within the past three years and validated in each member’s Operations Qualifications (Ops Quals).
In the past, compliance with the Water Safety (WS) endorsement requirement has been difficult because training opportunities have been limited. CAP is now fortunate to have received an invitation from the FAA Safety Team (FAAST) to attend sessions presented by the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI), in ANC on 26 or 27 April or in FAI on 29 or 30 April. All days are the same, a morning classroom session followed by training an in-pool session, so you would attend only one day. You will be required to attend the classroom portion to participate in the pool training.
In order to plan for those classes I will need a request from each participant stating requested attendance site, date, name, CAPID# and e-mail address. At this time the sessions are first come first served limited to 20-25 participants. This event will be open to the general public so let me know right away if you are interested and I will send you further details a couple weeks prior to the event.

You know what sign language is?
Sign language is a type of language that uses hand movements, facial expressions, and body language to communicate. It is mainly used by the deaf and by people who can hear but not speak. Sign language is also used by hearing people, who have deaf or dumb relatives or relatives for the purpose of communicating with them. Within sign language we also have to recognize interpreters, who allow deaf and broader communities to communicate with each other.
During the next three months I will be introducing you to what is the alphabet, numbers, some important words in the area of emergency services and how to offer basic help in American Sign Language.
Lets start with the numbers 1 to 10 and the alphabet
The numbers 1 to 10
When writing about a specific topic, we can see how difficult it is for us to do it.
This is why I want to show you how to make an outline.
When we talk about an outline, we mean presenting the ideas in an organized way, to develop the theme we want. An outline helps you organize the information you want to present in a logical and coherent way. Once your outline is complete, you'll have a clear idea of how you want your role to play out.
Here are five steps to a strong outline:
1. Choose Your Topic and Establish Your Purpose. What do you want your readers to learn from reading your paper? What do you want them to understand about your topic? These questions can help you focus your ideas around the specific take-home messages you want to leave with your readers.
2. Create A List Of Main Ideas.
The goal here is to come up with a list of essential ideas that you are planning to present in your article or essay. This step can be a list of arguments to answer a question, a list of resources, or it could even include tips on how to do something.
3. Organize Your Main Ideas.
The goal of this step is to rearrange the list of ideas that you came up with in Step 2, putting them in an order that will make sense to you and the reader. Some common organizational structures are cause and effect, classification, chronological and process.
4. Flush Out Your Main Points.
Your goal in this step is to expand upon your original ideas so that your reader has a better understanding of each point. You can add more detail to each concept by including examples, quotes, facts, theories, or personal anecdotes. You’ll save time in the long run because your paper will be more logical and focused and your ideas will be fully developed.
5. Review and Adjust.
Most people would think that after step four your outline is done, but that is not the case. Writing is a repetitive process, and all good writers continue to review and revise their essay until they feel it is the best they can possibly be. Make sure that you’ve included all of your ideas and established the connections between each of your main points.
Among the requirements in the cadet program, they must write a essay. Let's look for a topic of interest, within the topics to present and practice.
Explain why America’s aerospace power is vital to commerce, science or national security.
Describe leadership mistakes you have made and explain what you learned from them.
Explain the difference between followership and leadership.
