CC-CAP SQUADRON SOUND OFF!!!

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP Dear CAP Fellows, It has been a very good week for our unit!!! I know that is a regular saying it seems from me these days, but how else is one to describe the return of local CAP Flight Operations. We have had our obstacles, namely the weather. However, despite this most uncontrollable force of nature, we have prevailed. Prior to this week, I was fortunate enough to represent the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron to the Teaching American History Grant Program. This stage of the grant was at the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History...namely, on board the three replicas of the Columbus ships. As shown in the photo inset to the right, it was a good day of exploring these 13th Century vessels. The Grant has been very fruitful to the study of American History and general Social Studies in South Texas. Through it I was given the opportunity to make a film. The PBS special, U.S.S. Lexington: More Than Meets the Eye was done in collaboration with local teachers, including myself. Read more about it here... http://www.esc2.net/pio/PressReleases/LexVideoProject2006Telly.htm Our unit was also involved with a GEAR UP activity earlier this month. It is hoped much more opportunities of this nature will present themselves. Also, we hope we can have an extension of the aircraft for one more week. This would allow for the rest of our Form 5 flights and give us an opportunity to really give the aircraft a proper shakedown, including cleaning and reorganizing its interior. As of the writing of this almanac, we were expecting a confirmation from Group V. Our unit is also preparing for its 2007 Holiday Party, it is hoped that at that party we can unveil a new unit patch as well as wing our officers and give out a few well deserved awards. Major Fidel Alvarado and 2d Lt Monica Lozano are organizing the activity with loads of support from the unit. -SEMPER VIGILANS! 1

ENJOY The November 2007 STAN/EVAL Newsletter from...

The Texas Wing

November 2007 Stan/Eval Newsletter
Bob McDonnell LTC CAP Texas Wing Stan/Eval I am going to make this newsletter shorter, but hopefully make some points that will help you solve your Ops Qual problems. First, we at Wing have no access in Ops Qual that will allow us to wave a wand and correct items at lower levels. Pilots must enter all their data before sending it up for approval. The best recent example of this is the numerous O-ride and AFROTC O-ride pilot approvals that are coming forward without the pilot entering in the 200 or 300 hours PIC in Ops Qual. Unit Commanders can not validate themselves. Unit's must have a deputy assigned to validate the commander's items. The CAP has not delegated this authority to Group or Wing. It has to be done at Unit Level Pilots and Units many times can not figure out why a person is notqualed in a certain item. This is the most important thing I am going to say. The answer is on the Pilot Ops Qual page. On the bottom left is "What do I need?" Click on that enter the qual, and you will see a red flag in the item missing. You must have an annual CAPF 5 in Ops Qual to get 12 months out of the system. To be an annual you must complete all A/C questionnaires and your Online exam in the previous 90 days. You must also enter it as an annual in Ops Qual. This is a computer if you do not enter it or do things out of order, it will not update you. The Pilot List on the Wing Website is for USAF Insurance on A and B Missions. Your name must be on the list to fly A and B missions. FROs still use Ops Qual for flight release, they are required to also check the Wing Pilot List for the pilot's name for A and B flight releases. If you are not on the list but current in Ops Qual, they may be the PIC for only C-missions. We are producing 3 lists a month. Just prior to the end of the month, we QC the list and remove all people that are listed on the expiring task report. This gives us a list version A to start the month. Two or three days into the month we allow the Ops Qual computer to do it's update and QC that product, and we produce what we hope is solid list version B. On or around the 15th we do another QC and produce a mid-month list version C. The best way to stay current and keep yourself on the list is what is mandatory in the USAF, commercial operations and the Airlines. They require that your requirements are done before the 25th of the month. If you do not, you stand a good chance of not having the current quals in Ops Qual and validated by the first of the month. With that said I do not know who said to "To Err is Human", but if it is true I am more human than most. If you see some errors, please e-mail me. I can always use the help QCing the list.

FLY SAFE AND UPHOLD THE STANDARDS

CC-CAP Distinctive Patch Proposed

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP Corpus Christi Comp Squadron At the regular meeting of the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron on 20 November 2007, Major Joe Ely Carrales unveiled a project that Capt Dennis Bazemore had been working on. The fruits of that project are evident in the inset image to the right. It has been a long time goal of the Unit to have a distinctive patch or emblem. There currently are several sort of unofficial emblems peppering even the pages of this newsletter/ almanac. The first is a MAJCOM shield type typical of Wings and higher lever USAF and CAP organizations. To write a quick blazon of it, it is made up of the Texas Wing winged star set before a field of blue within a heraldic shield. In the scrolling at the bottom is the name of the unit, Corpus Christi Comp. Squadron. Another version of it, the one that appears in the masthead on page one of this almanac, reflects the trend (somewhat recent) to at the letters CAP. The original version of this emblem can be traced back to the year 2000 where it was created by Major Joe Ely Carrales as a stopgap measure. No patches, to the knowledge of the squadron, were ever made of this shield. Recently, during CAP historical research on the earliest Civil Air Patrol activity in the Coastal Bend, Major J.E. Carrales unearthed some photographs of Coastal Patrol Squadron 15. This was a CAP Coastal Patrol base that was part of the sub-hunting initiative of World War II. In those images, the moniker of a wolf suspended in a cloud holding a bomb over a partially submerged submarine was clearly visible in several of the photographs. It is unknown if the design was created locally, by an animation house (like Walt Disney Studios or Warner Brothers... although both are likely candidates) or if it was brought to South Texas by the various Oklahoma Aviators that were mentioned in Flying Minute Men: Story of the Civil Air Patrol by Robert Neprud. The new moniker is heavily inspired by that WWII image and pays homage to those early sub-hunters. The patch is to go into production once its final design is brought forth and details are made. It will likely cost $10 a patch , however, a final price is yet to be set.

REPEAT!!! New Regulations available for Commentary REPEAT!!!

CAPNHQ The CAP powers that be at Maxwell A.F.B. announced 14 November 2007 that commentary on two important CAP regulation revisions is open to the general membership. This will allow for a grassroots treatment of these items. Please avail yourself of the opportunity to review these...either way they present a glimpse of what is to come via the CAP aviation and Communication programs.

Below are the links and contact information for these regulations http://level2.cap.gov/visitors/member_services/publications/ publications_for_comment.cfm CAPR 60-1 Draft CAP Flight Management:
The draft CAPR 60-1 update should be considered a stopgap measure until such time that CAP and CAPUSAF are able to finalize and publish a greatly shortened version of the regulation. The lengthy coordination process to shorten 60-1 is ongoing and the field will get the opportunity to comment on the future draft regulation in the coming months. Comments are request by 1 Dec 07, through your chain of command.

CC-CAP 2007 Holiday Party Update

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP Corpus Christi, Texas Plans are in the works for the 2007 Corpus Christi Composite Squadron Holiday Party. We are set for 11 December 2007 at the Longhorn Steak and Ale restaurant located at 4307 Alameda in Corpus Christ proper. The venue was allocated by Unit Deputy Commander Major Fidel Alvarado, the principal Project Officer, and many of the details are in the capable hands of 2d Lt Monica Lozano. Mr. Fred Segundo, the new director of operations at CRP international airport will be our guest speaker for the evening. We have slated a number of awards and other accolades for that evening including promotion certificates. All members are invited and we may have a few other guests that are friends of the unit that can dine with us and enjoy our company. Im greatly looking forward to the evening, Said Major Joe Ely Carrales, unit commander, it gives us an opportunity to reflect on the years activities as well as spend an evening together. The only official activity for that evening will be to outline goals by quarter for 2008. The last meeting for 2007 will be 18 December 2007. Regular Squadron activities for 2007 will be closed after that date save for any OPERATONAL training activities, such as flight training or actual CAP missions. Activities at Kingsville will continue until 20 December 2007 to coincide with end of the 1st Semester of Kingsville ISDs 2007-2008 school year. The next regular meeting following the 18 of December 2007 will be 8 January 2008.

Safety Namely, Winter Driving Safety

By Lt Col George Grondin, CAP Texas Wing Director of Information Management Winter is just around the corner, so it is time to start preparing your vehicle for winter. It is better to be safe than sorry, and its better to be over prepared than not. First off, check out your car. Make sure your battery and charging system are in good working order. Inspect all belts and hoses for signs of wear or cracking, replace any that do not look to be in good condition. If anything is going to go wrong, you can bet it will happen to you in the winter time. It is also a good idea to change your motor oil to lighter weight oil, which will make your engine a little easier to turn over during cold weather. If you need an oil change anyway, this is the best time to take care of this. Make sure that you have four good tires on your car. It doesnt matter if your car is front wheel drive or rear, put on four good tires. Also check your antifreeze; they sell testers in automotive stores. It looks like a rather large eye dropper and you just remove a little of the coolant from your radiator using the tester. There are little balls inside the tester, which will float to different levels inside. This will tell you at what temperature your antifreeze will freeze. If need be, drain some of the coolant from your system and add more antifreeze. Check your wiper blades to make sure they are in good condition. Also make sure that your washer reservoir is full, it is always a good idea to carry a spare gallon of washer fluid in your trunk. It will never fail that you will run out of washer fluid while traveling, not at home in your driveway. Now it is time to start packing your car for winter driving. Make sure that your spare tire is in good condition and full of air. Also make sure that your jack is in good working order, and that all the parts are where they should be. Here is a list of items that you should be carrying in your trunk for winter emergencies: A small tool kit, with a pair of pliers, a Phillips and straight screwdriver, a hammer, a pocket knife and some other small tools, a set of jumper cables; a small bag of sand or cat litter (this can be used both for weight in a rear wheel drive car and to place on a slick roadway to give you more traction); a blanket; some extra clothes (toss in a few jackets, gloves and hats that you no longer wear); a pair of boots; bottled water; and some food (it is a better idea to keep the food in the trunk so that you are not tempted to eat it while driving). The foods recommended are high-energy nutrition bars, munchie type foods, and anything else that will keep and not freeze. Also carry a first aid kit, a flashlight with a set of extra batteries, matches in an airtight container, reading material; something brightly colored that can be used for flagging, and a small shovel. A small broom for snow removal and a heavy-duty ice scraper should be carried in the front of the car where they will be easy to get at. Also never let the gas tank in your vehicle fall below half full for winter driving. Not only will a fuller tank of gas give your car more weight, it could also mean the matter of staying a little warm or freezing a death, if you are caught in a snow storm. If you absolutely do need to go out in a storm, try not to go alone, but take someone else with you. Two people can usually get a car unstuck when one person cant. Dress warmly, in several layers. Even though it will be warm in the car while you are traveling, if you do end up stuck somewhere, it may get cold very quickly. If you do get stuck, tie the flagging to your car and open the hood. Try to only run the car for 10 minutes per hour and run the heater only when the car is running, to save the battery. Also, if it is dark, run the dome light only when the car is running. Before starting the car, get out and check and make sure the tailpipe is clear. Also be sure to crack your window a bit when the car is idling. You must be very careful of carbon monoxide poisoning. Of course many people now have cell phones and can make a call if they have problems. But dont forget, cell phones dont always have signals. Or if you do get in touch with someone to come and help, it still could take several hours, particularly if the roads are impassible. Remember, taking good care of your vehicle before winter and packing the right supplies could be a matter of life and death. And drive carefully and slowly!
