Air Force cuts aviation support at

public events3/1/2013 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- As the Air Force braces forpotential sequester, leadership has canceled all aviation support topublic events for at least the remainder of the fiscal year and isstanding down the Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team to saveflying hours to support readiness needs.

Effective today, active-duty, Reserve and Guard units will ceaseall aviation support to the public. This includes the cancellation ofsupport to all air shows, tradeshows, flyovers (including funeralsand military graduations), orientation flights, heritage flights, F-22demonstration flights and open houses, unless the event includesonly local static assets.

Additionally, the Air Force will cancel the Thunderbirds' entire2013 season beginning April 1.

The Thunderbirds and Heritage Flight crews will complete theircertification procedures for safely flying aerial demonstrations incase the budget allows resumption of scheduled events in 2013,but and the Air Force will cease participation in Heritage flightsfollowing certification.

The Air Force will reduce flying hours by as much as 18 percent --approximately 203,000 hours -- and impacts will be felt across theservice and directly affect operational and training missions.

"While we will protect flying operations in Afghanistan and othercontingency areas, nuclear deterrence and initial flight training,roughly two-thirds of our active-duty combat Air Force units willcurtail home station training," said Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A.Welsh III.

Since all aerial support to public and military events is flown at noadditional cost to the taxpayer using allotted training hours, theAir Force had no choice but to cancel support to these events.

Middle East Region Updates

MER - DEWG Conference

Attached is the draft schedule for the combined MER and DEWG Conference. This conference isprimarily for the benefit of the DEWG membership, however all members of the region may attend as wewill also be taking the opportunity to present "of the Year" awards in the morning as well as some service

awards (Exceptionals, Meritorious, etc.). In the afternoon, there will be seminars and DEWG has polledits members and listed the areas where they would like to receive training. Since they do not necessarilyhave the expertise on their wing staff in these areas, they have requested assistance from MER staffand/or MER wings to provide the requisite expertise. Please take a look at the schedule and if you canlead a seminar, please let me know and I will maintain the master list for a final reply back to the DEWGconference coordinator, Lt. Col. Kevin Lighter. This is a great opportunity for those who need to lead aseminar or need attendance credit at a wing or region conference to complete a professional developmentrequirement.

Please note the conference is scheduled for April 19 and 20 at Dover AFB. Billeting is available at theEagles Rest Lodge on a first come/first served basis. Once filled, you will need to find a hotel near the

base. DEWG will be providing a list of affordable accomodations, especially for cadets since the EaglesRest Lodge only offers rooms with a queen or king bed. Also, since this is doubling as the MERConference, all members of the MER staff are expected to be in attendance as are all wing commanders.There will be a mandatory Commanders Call for all MER Wing Commanders (wing CV and CS mayalso attend) in the afternoon.

Col. Rick Moseley, CAP, MER Vice Commander

Anonymous Letters and Communications

Please be advised that anonymous letters and communications to the Region Commander will NOT resultin any corrective actions for any issues raised. It is NOT possible for the Region Commander to act onany anonymous information that cannot be verified or confirmed in a proper way giving all thoseinvolved proper due process. If you have a legitimate complaint about any leader in CAP or anotherCAP member, you MUST contact your Wing or Region IG in the manner prescribed by CAP regulations.

The IG program can protect you from any retaliation, review your complaint or issue for validity andsubstance, and advise you on possible solutions to your core issue that may or may not involve a formalcomplaint process. I am not suggesting that members file frivolous complaints with the IG. But the IGswithin MER are some of the best in CAP. They can counsel and recommend how you handle theparticular issue you have in mind. In some cases, they may defer the issue to Command or higherauthority. The idea is to find solutions, not to go head hunting or your behalf. But you must put trust inthe system if your issue is truly a valid issue that needs to be addressed for the good of us all.

Check wing and region web site locations for contact information about the IGs within your wing andMER.

Thank you,

Larry J. Ragland, Col, CAP MER/CC

Communications Tips

CAP radios are pre-programed so that the operators can just operate rather than be concerned with technicalissues. Our HF radios have many of the national CAP frequencies as well as a couple of FEMA frequenciesand a few WWV frequencies. The FEMA frequencies are ONLY to be used when they tell us we can use it.There are also WWV frequencies there

If you want to know exactly what time it is, check WWV. This shortwave radio station is operated by theNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.The government broadcasts the time from the nation's time keepers. They get their time from the officialatomic clock.

**All you have to do is change the channel on the Micom until you see the display shows either WWV or5.000, 10.000 or 15.000 MHz. (Channels 11, 12, 13 on the Micom 2 and channels 152-155 on the Micom 3radios.) Different frequencies will be better at different times of the day and night so you choose whicheverone is the best for you. The broadcasts announce the time on each minute and there will be ticks and tonesbetween the minutes. After you check your watch against the WWV signal, change the Micom frequencyback to MED and you are good to go.**

The so called atomic clocks that we buy in stores are not atomic clocks. They are clocks with radio receiversset to one of the WWV broadcasts which is not one of the frequencies in our radios. The receivers in ourclocks and watches get a calibrating pulse from the radio signal which keeps the clock accurate. If our clockis not receiving the transmission, the clock/watch will not calibrate and as many of these are cheap, theydon't keep time well on their own.

I have two inexpensive "atomic" wrist watches which are great -- as long as I remember to put them on thewindow sill at night so that they get good reception. Many of the "atomic" wall clocks have an indicator thatshows when they are receiving a signal from WWV. Check your instructions received with the clocks formore information. If you are not getting good reception, the "atomic" clock may be worse than an oldwindup clock! Try repositioning the clock per the manufacturers instructions to get better reception.

Ground Team Leader Training Weekend in March

There will be NCWG Ground Team Leader training held at NCWG Headquarters 22-24 March 2013. Thisweekend training will begin on Friday night with classroom instruction regarding the Familiarization andPreparation portions of the SQTR for Ground Team Leaders.Although some Powerpoint material will be covered, there will be many scenarios up for discussion. Some itemsof discussion will be the current GTL "check ride" required in other Wings and how NCWG will be performing

GTL sign offs in the future. Necessary components for leading the team and developing the skills required bythe SQTR will be the emphasis of this training time.Saturday morning we will work with maps and using Lat/Long (varying Grid sizes), CAP Grid, and UTM maps.Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning we will have sorties. We will have an IC and you will be expected tolead a team. There will be Ground Teams and UDF teams ready for your leadership.Appropriate CAP and ICS forms will be provided along with maps of the search areas.We will cover shelters and will have available a location for overnight camping.There is no guarantee nor expectation that all requirements will be met for sign off of the GTL SQTR, however,the operational periods will be set so that many of the items on the SQTR will be covered in class and in thefield. Your teams application and efficiency will determine your success. One good example would be maps. Ifyou are not Ground Team Member 2 (GTM 2) proficient with maps and are using this as the only training, youwill need to spend more time after the lessons studying in order to be proficient, however, we will be going intoa lot of map work detail. A full map class for comprehension for beginners to GTM 2 level can take more than 8hours of direct map work for proficiency and this is typically not in one setting.This training will be helpful as we prepare for the NCWG SAR/EVAL in April.Availability:Seating and evaluation is limited.Prerequisites:You must be a Qualified Ground Team Member and be 18 years of age to receive credit. Those wishing toreceive the training must have their Squadron Commander's approval in writing forwarded to Major Bailey nolater than 15Mar2013.While not a prerequisite at this time, it is suggested that you have completed the ICUT prior to attending. If youare complete (watched the slides and taken the on-line quizzes) other than being tested, authorized SET qualified

personnel will be on hand to perform this function.Packing list:Items found on the 24 pack and 72 pack lists from the Ground Team Handbook.Food:All meals will be the responsibility of the attendee. You may eat out at the local restaurants, however, beprepared to eat in the field Saturday night and Sunday lunch. Ensure that you have snacks and water for yourpacks for field operations.Fee:There are no fees charged with this training.Sign up and Contacts:Please contact Major Jason Bailey at [email protected] or Lt Col Wiggs at [email protected] with anyquestions and to sign up.

CAPF 17 or CAPF 31 as appropriate will be required as well as CAPF 60s at sign in to Mission Base.
