COUPON At the June 6 meeting of Civil Air Patrol’s Thunder Composite Squadron IL-317, the Change of Command Ceremony took place during the monthly promotional meeting transferring command of the squadron from Major Gary Sprigg to Major Barbara Buckner.

Thunder Composite Squadron is nearing its 33rd anniversary. The squadron was chartered on July 8, 1985 at Jones Memorial Center in Chicago Heights as a way to help the youth in the area (who were primarily being raised in poor, single-mother homes). and was named after the founder’s dog, Thunder. In her new role, Major Buckner’s goals include continuation of growth in membership of what is the second largest unit in Group 2 and the 7th largest Wing-wide, recruitment of additional senior members, additional emergency services training opportunities and expanding of aerospace education and STEM programs.
