1Lt Cole began his CAP career as a Cadet. He joined CAP in 2005 at thirteen years of age. His years in CAP havegiven him fine values which he wishes to instill in the Cadets in his current position as the Squadron LeadershipOfficer. The values he wishes to instill include:

• Having a professional attitude

• Having confidence

• Creating a solid foundation for the rest of their lives

• Knowing how to successfully set goals

He said that “If you know how, you will have great success in whatever you do.”He also shared that at times he feels like a parent to some of the Cadets because he has invested so much in orderto develop them. He said that he can see the differences being made, and can see how they are using what theyhave learned in their lives.

1Lt Cole explained that there are great differences between being a Cadet and being a Senior Member. He saidthat the difference revolve around the difference between “taking” and “giving.” As a Cadet, there is feedback ineverything you do. For example, Cadet Officer School helps Cadets develop their abilities because there isfeedback, areas which need improvement are emphasized, and there are opportunities to utilize what you havelearned. The entire process revolves around TAKING. It’s all about learning and motivation which begins on theoutside. He shared that as a Cadet, motivation came from being in charge of the Honor Guard. In that position, hefelt needed, important, and had an opportunity to set an example for others. That position was his motivation forcontinued success

Throughout his CAP career, 1Lt Cole shared that he had done or helped with practically every position inthe Squadron, including being involved with most critical decisions and providing mentorship when needed. Hesaid that involvement in the Civil Air Patrol is quite different for Senior Members than it is for Cadets. SeniorMembers must be self-motivated because Senior Membership is all about GIVING.

Currently, 1Lt Cole is a Junior at Kennesaw State University. His eventual goal is to be in uniformed patrol as aPolice Officer with a Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Administration. December 2014 is his schedule date forgraduation.

1Lt Cole’s closing remarks were: “CAP has been a beneficial part of my life. It is important to leave animpact on others.”

VETERAS DAY

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. It is both a

federal and state holiday and is usually observed on ovember 11th.

In other parts of the world on ovember 11th, it is also celebrated as Armistice Day or

Remembrance Day in honor of the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice which

ended World War I. The major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918 when the Germans signed

the Armistice.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for ovember 11,

1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on

June 4, 1926, requesting that the President issue another proclamation to observe

ovember 11th with appropriate ceremonies

On May 13, 1938, an Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) was approved. The 11th

of ovember is a legal holiday which is to be celebrated each year as Armistice Day.

On ovember 8, 1954, Congress amended the act, and the holiday has been known as

Veterans Day, since that time.

THAK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

There is a lot of news in Aviation about the ubiquitous (that means they are everywhere) iPad. You find themin almost every commercial cockpit these days. Known as “EFB” or Electronic Flight Bags, they contain air-craft manuals, approach charts, sectional charts; they even perform the aircraft weight and balance

calculations. They have become an indispensible tool for pilots as well as travelers the world over. Not to beoutdone Microsoft has introduced its’ own EFB, the Surface 2. Much the same as an iPad in size and shape, itruns Microsoft software which users claim to be more flexible than Apples software. Delta Airlines is

purchasing 11,000 of the Surface 2 tablets to use in their aircraft.

To meet FAA requirements for a “Class 1” (portable) device, it will not have any connection to the aircraft power, so the 5-10 hour battery will be supplemented by a second battery. Now you have another reason to bug your parents for a tablet, it will help you in your aviation studies!

Once your parents cave in and buy you the tablet, the FAA will now let you use it on commercial aircraft. Youno longer will have to turn off your tablet or Game Boy at take-off. Our own Delta Airlines once again leadsthe pack and has certified all the aircraft for electronic devices already! The other airlines will certainly followin quick order. Unfortunately or fortunately, the FAA did not include cell phones as an allowable device.

Back in the cockpit, a Texas company, Aerocross Systems, has succeeded in producing a low cost Heads up

Display (HUD) for light aircraft. A HUD is what Military Pilots use to track targets as well as aircraft flightinformation without looking inside the aircraft at the instrumentation. The newest system will allow pilot tokeep a better lookout for other aircraft and obstructions. Initially, the pilot will be able to see basic info like:airspeed, altitude, horizontal direction, vertical speed, and a magnetic compass. The current prototype ismounted in a pair of glasses. The manufacturer calls the civilian version of the HUD a HMD for HeadMounted Display. Since the device is not part of the aircraft and only an aid, it will not require FAA approval.

Next Generation EFB on Your iPad

GlobalNavSource is excited to announce EFB(Electronic Flight Bag). This app supports

paperless operations, and gives pilots access tocharts, plates, weather, and other data.

“So, you’re a pilot?” This has been the start of many conversations with friends, co-workers, and strangers overthe last ten years. “How hard is it? How long does it take? Is it scary? How expensive? Do you own a plane?Can you rent planes?”“I’ve always wanted to do that” is another thing that I often hear when someone learns that I’m a pilot. I hope thatwhat I share with you will be informative, interesting, and will help to motivate you to leave the ranks of want-to-

be pilots, and join the ranks of flying pilots.

The Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic’s License

Many questions about aircraft often involve their maintenance. Who typically works on aircraft? Whatcareers exist for aircraft mechanics?

The rules vary based on aircraft type and use, but most aircraft maintenance is performed by individuals whoare known as airframe and power plant (A&P) mechanics. A&P mechanics are licensed by the FederalAviation Administration to work on certified aircraft that are used for private or commercial flying. Pilotswho own their own aircraft may only perform basic maintenance. Individuals that do not have an A&P licensemay only work on aircraft that they do not own if they are supervised by an A&P mechanic and their work isthen approved by the A&P.

How does someone become an A&P mechanic? Aircraft mechanics must meet a number of requirements toearn their license. They must have at least 30 months of experience working on aircraft under the supervisionof a licensed mechanic, or attend an FAA recognized aircraft maintenance technician school. Many peoplegather some of this experience while serving in the military. Civilian aviation mechanic schools normally lastfrom 18 to 24 months. A&P candidates must also pass a written examination, an oral exam, and a practicalexam.

Jobs for A&P mechanics vary widely. Some work at small airfields on privately owned general aviationaircraft. Others may work on large commercial aircraft for airlines or even for the FAA as inspectors. Manyown their own shops and are their own bosses. Typical A&P mechanics often make between $50,000 and$70,000 per year based on their experience and the type of aircraft that they maintain.

How should individuals that are interested in becoming aircraft mechanics prepare? While in high school, prospective mechanics should take courses in math, physics, chemistry, electronics, and mechanical drawingwhen available. Writing classes are also useful because most mechanics must submit detailed written reportsin their work. Prospective A&P mechanics should also talk early to admissions officers at accredited aviationtechnical schools to learn about admissions requirements. Most of the best jobs in this field require at least ahigh school diploma and an A&P license. Many also require a two or four year degree from an aviation oraircraft maintenance technology school.

Happy flying!

The Civil Air Patrol’s Wreaths Across America Program began in 2006 as an offshoot of theArlington National Cemetery Wreath Project, which was started in 1992 with the annual placement of wreaths donated by Worcester Wreath Co. The program has mushroomed in ashort time. With its patriotic theme and its increasing visibility, Wreaths Across America isan ideal program for promotion of CAP and the patriotic values that CAP holds dear.

The wreaths designated for Arlington are transported on a 750-mile journey fromHarrington, Maine after a sendoff ceremony. The route is one of the longest annualveteran’s celebrations, with parades and ceremonies held at more than 20 stops along theway.

Fifty wreaths donated by Worcester are presented during a special wreath-laying ceremonyheld at each state capitol.

CAP’s Arlington observances include a wreath-laying ceremony at the CAP Memorial, theTomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Women in Military Service Memorial.

Civil Air Patrol’s National Honor Guard takes part in a special ceremonial holiday wreathlaying at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

As a key partner in Wreaths Across America, Civil Air Patrol has adorned memorials andveterans’ graves with evergreen wreaths to make sure the sacrifices of our nation’s soldiersare not forgotten.

When the Finish Line Is In SightCharacter Development Session for October 2013

The difference between the finish line in a race and a goal line in a football game is the defense whichcan prevent a score and often does. Due to the fact that no one is preventing runners from finishing a race,almost all runners finish. CAP develops leaders who are meant to demonstrate a character that not only seeks

individual achievement, but achievement in others.Difficulties arrive in almost every worthy mission. It is during these challenges that hard choices must

be made. During these difficult times, creative leaders can provide help through encouragement, as well as bysharing options and ideas for dealing with life’s obstacles.

In Life, when there is not an easy solution to a situation, strong leadership is definitely needed. In thefollowing Case Study, there is no doubt that strong leadership is definitely needed.Case Study

Mike, a senior in High School, needs a Biology course to graduate this spring. The first semester, hemade a passing grade.

Mike lost his textbook, and does not have the money to pay for the lost book. Until he pays for the lost book, the school can not issue him another book.

In order to help Mike, Susan loans Mike her book during the school day. Mike reads the material andtries to do the homework during his lunch hour. At the end of the day, Mike returns the book to Susan. Also,

occasionally, the teacher loans Mike her book overnight.Even with Susan and the teacher helping him, Mike is struggling. He is afraid that he will not pass

Biology, and will not be allowed to graduate.One day, a classmate named Karen tells the teacher that she has lost her book. Two days later, Mike

shows up at school with a Biology textbook and with his homework completed. When questioned, Mike wouldnot tell from where he got his textbook.

FAPS Analysis - (The results of the interactive analysis of the Case Study by the Cadets)

Facts:1. Mike is a senior in High School.2. Mike needs to pass his biology course in order to graduate.3. Mike’s first semester grade was passing.4. Mike lost his textbook and does not have the money to replace it.5. Although he is getting some help from his friend Susan and from the teacher, Mike is

struggling to pass the class.6. Karen, a classmate, lost her book and reported the loss to the teacher.7. Two days after Karen lost her book, Mike showed up in class with a textbook.8. Mike would not tell from where or how he got the textbook.

Assumptions:1. Mike stole Karen’s book.

Problem:1. How can the truth be discovered as to whether Mike stole the book or not?

Solutions:1. Have a face-to-fact conference with Mike and his parents to determine how Mike acquired his

book.Discussion Groups - (Cadets broke up into groups to discuss questions relating to the Case Study)

Questions included Mike’s behavior, who is responsible for Mike’s problem, how to solve Mike’s problem, what to do if faced with a problem like Mike’s, as well as understanding that it is eachCadet’s responsibility to help other Cadets progress through the CAP experience.

“Saying NO to Drugs is Saying YES to Self-respect.”The attempt to negatively influence another person is often referred to as “peer pressure.”

However, why be a follower and do what others negatively say,when one can be the leader

and exert positive peer pressure for freedom from drugs and alcohol.

ORM is a logic-based, common sense approach to making calculateddecisions on human, material, and environmental factors associated withany type of activity. It is a methodical, six-step process to manage inher-ent risk.

THE SIX STEPS OF THE ORM PROCESS

Step One: Identify the hazards.This is the foundation of the ORM process. If you don’t knowthe hazards to mission degradation, personnel injury or death,or property damage, then they can’t be controlled. A hazardis simply a condition that could cause loss. Focus on what isat risk, and list the potential hazards.

Step Two: Assess the risks.

Quantify and qualify the probability and severity of loss fromexposure to the hazard. Examine each hazard and determinethe exposure, severity, and mishap probability for the activity.After a hazard is examined, risk can be established. Prioritizethe hazards into levels of risk and work on the worst one first.

Step Three: Analyze the risk control measures.

Investigate a variety of actions. Determine which risks can beeliminated, reduced, or controlled in some manner.

Step Four: Make control decisions.

Select the best possible risk controls. Decide if those controlswill assure that the benefits outweigh the costs.

Step Five: Implement Risk Control.Always reject the risk when total costs outweigh total benefits. Use the ORM process to determine your decision.

Step Six: Supervise and review the six Basic ORM Steps.Review systematically to measure if whether or not the benefit was worth the cost.

On 29 October, 2Lt David McElhannon sharedhis expertise with the Cadets of the MariettaAir Museum Cadet Squadron about how WWII planes were constructed, as well as their

strengths and their weaknesses on a battlefield.

In a simulated battle between the “Americans”and the “Japanese,” Cadets learned how tomaneuver their aircraft to effectively protectthemselves as they engaged in warfare.

Cadets not only engaged in an exciting battle between the “Americans” and the “Japanese,”they also had a wonderful time.

SMART Goals help improve achievement and success.

A SMART Goal clarifies exactly what is expectedand the measures needed to achieve success.

A SMART Goal is:Specific:

Goals which are linked to strategic plans or positions. Goals which answerthe questions “Who? and What?”

Measurable:The success of meeting the goal can be measured. The goal answersthe question “How?”

Achievable:Goals that are realistic and reasonable which can be achieved in a specificamount of time.

Realistic:Goals which are aligned with current tasks, and focus in one definedarea.

Time-bound: Goals which have a clearly defined target or deadline date.

Examples:

ot a SMART Goal: “My goal is to finish my Armstrong Essay and become an Officer.”

This statement does not indicate a measurement or time frame, nor does it identify

what steps are necessary to achieve the desired results.

A SMART Goal: “I am a C/SrA, and my goal is to become a C/2Lt within six months. I planto successfully complete my Armstrong Essay and Speech requirements,study diligently in order to pass the General Billy Mitchell MilestoneExamination, and continue with my personal fitness program in order to pass the Cadet Physical Fitness Tests. I also plan to attend CharacterDevelopment sessions, and complete all that is required to successfully passthrough the Review Board.”

This goal definitely meets the requirements to be considered a SMART Goal.

Specific: The goal to become a C/2Lt is specific. Measurable: The steps to succeed in meeting the goal are clearly measurable, if there

is diligent preparation to pass the requirements. Achievable: The goal is definitely achievable, if diligent preparation is exerted to pass

the requirements. Realistic: The goal to become a C/2Lt is definitely realistic in the Cadet Promotion

Process.Time-bound: The goal to promote to C/2Lt within six months is definitely time-bound.
