With Captain Raquel AyalaEncampment Training Officer

Captain Ayala has been a member of the Civil

Air Patrol since December 1999, and has never

let her membership expire. Currently, Captain

Ayala is in the United States Air Force serving

as a C-130 Structure Engineer at Warner

Robins Air Force Base.

Before her accomplishments as a Senior

Member, Captain Ayala was a former Earhart

Cadet in New York Wing, a graduate in theHonor Flight at Cadet Officer School, and a

Drill Team Commander for South East Group

NYWG.

Captain Ayala has been instrumental in

creating a power-packed week of training for

both Basic Cadets and Staff. She is an integral

part of the GAWG Summer Honor Encamp-

ment.

Her goals for Cadet Staff are to surpass their

current leadership abilities and to demonstrate

to the Basic Cadets what it means to be anoutstanding CAP Cadet.

Her goals for Basic Cadets are to be a sponge

and to absorb all the information taught, and

work toward mirroring the outstanding

leadership performance demonstrated by

Cadet and Senior Staff

Her vision is to achieve these goals is through

teamwork. Quoting TSgt Adam Pope, USAF

Pararescueman: “TEAMWORK IS A

GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WORKINGTOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A COMMON

GOAL WHILE SETTING ASIDE ALL

PERSONAL GOALS AND DESIRES FOR

THAT TEAM.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As temperatures rise, the exposure to the Summer elements may result in related mishaps. It is imperative that

we increase awareness of heat related injuries and their cause. We must keep our members safe and alert as they participate in all CAP activities.

Operations involving high ambient temperatures and high humidity, direct physical contact with hot objects (i.e.

aircraft or vehicles), or strenuous physical activities have a high potential for inducing heat stress and heat re-

lated injuries in people engaged in such operations.

CAUSAL FACTORSAge, weight, degree of physical fitness, degree of acclimatization, metabolism, medications,

medical conditions, type of clothing worn, and prior heat injuries.

HEAT STROKEWhen the body’s system of temperature regulation fails and the body temperature rises to critical levels. This is

a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Primary signs are confusion, irrational behavior, loss of consciousness, convul-

sions, lack of sweating, hot and dry skin, and an abnormally high body temperature. OBTAIN PROFES-

SIONAL MEDICAL TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY.

HEAT EXHAUSTION

Primary signs are sweating, headache, nausea, vertigo, weakness, thirst, and giddiness. REMOVE PERSON

FROM HOT ENVIRONMENT, GIVE FLUID REPLACEMENT, AND ENCOURAGE REST. SINCE SIGNS

ARE SIMILAR TO HEAT STROKE, HAVE TRAINED MEDICAL PERSON CHECK THE PERSON SUF-

FERING FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION.HEAT CRAMPS

Heat cramps, which have been attributed to an electrolyte imbalance, are usually caused by performing hard

physical labor in a hot environment. Cramps can be caused by both too much and too little salt. Do not rely onthirst alone. WATER MUST BE TAKEN EVERY 15 TO 20 MINUTES IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS.

HEAT COLLAPSE (Fainting)

To prevent heat collapse, a person should gradually become acclimated to the hot environment. It is caused

when the brain does not receive enough oxygen because blood pools in the extremities.

HEAT RASHES

Usually appears in areas where the clothing is restrictive. Occurs in areas which are persistently wetted by un-evaporated sweat. Normally disappears when affected individual returns to a cool environment.

HEAT FATIGUEThe signs and symptoms are impaired performance of skilled sensorimotor, mental, or vigilance jobs. There is

no treatment other than removal of the heat stress before a more serious heat-related condition develops.

ADJUSTING ACTIVITY SCHEDULES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO HEAT.

WITH PROLONGED EXPOSURE AND/OR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Caution—Fatigue Possible

Extreme Caution—Sunstroke, muscle cramps, heat exhaustion possible

Danger—Sunstroke, muscle cramps, heat exhaustion likelyExtreme Danger—Heat stroke or sunstroke highly likely

THE SIX STEPS OF THE ORM PROCESS

1.IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS

2.ASSESS THE RISKS3.ANALYZE THE RISK CONTROL MEASURES

4.MAKE CONTROL DECISIONS5.RISK CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION

6.SUPERVISE AND REVIEW

Always bear in mind...Is the action worth the risk?

Caffeinated drinks dehydrate—limit your consumption.

Sport drinks can provide supplementary electrolytes, but

WATER IS THE KEY!

Drink one sport drink for every three to four bottles of water.

Don’t wait to get thirsty.

If you’re thirsty, you’re a quart low.

Major Mike Bell

The Public Affairs Staff had the pleasure of interviewing Major Mike Bell, the

Georgia Wing Assistant Director of Cadet Programs. Major Bell has been in Civil Air Patrol for twenty five years, and was a former Cadet. He joined the Fulton Composite

Squadron when he was fifteen years old.He graduated from Georgia College and State University with a major in

Journalism. In his four years of college (1989—1993), he became a Captain in the Army National Guard, which has become his profession.

Major Bell is a pilot in CAP, and is qualified as both a Mission Pilot andMission Observer. His true love is to fly in airplanes. He talks about the freedom and

joy of being in the air and being able to go through the air at tremendous speeds, and nottouch the ground at the same time.

Major Bell is at the GAWG 2010 Summer Encampment on behalf of the WingCommander Colonel Tonya Boylan. He is leaving Sunday afternoon after in-processing

which will include a Welcoming Ceremony by the Encampment Commander, ColonelRoshaven and the Commandant of Cadets, Major Flaviani, a Safety Briefing by the

Safety Officer, 1Lt. Salgado, a Medical Briefing by the Medical Officer, 2Lt. Palafox,

and a MLO Briefing by the Chaplain, Major Whitworth.Major Bell has many expectations for the GAWG Honor Encampment. He

wants the Basic Cadets ( Doolies are what they are affectionately called ) to learn about

Civil Air Patrol. Major Bell wants Cadets to try their hardest, learn customs and courte-sies, and most of all, to make the GAWG 2010 Summer Encampment run smoothly.

GAWG 2010 HONOR ENCAMPMENT

GEORGIA WING

2010 SUMMER EN

CAMPMENT

The CAP Nat’l website is

http://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/

The GAWG website is

http://www.GAWG.cap.gov/

In the Civil Air Patrol, the core values of Integrity, Volunteer

Service, Excellence, and Respect , serve as the ethical

framework for CAP’s service to America. These core valuesestablish a common set of behavioral expectations as well as

a set of standards to assess member conduct.

During most Encampments, one of the Flights is selected to

be the Honor Flight. For the 2010 GAWG Summer

Encampment, a new standard has been set. This year, in

addition to an Honor Flight, it is the intention of the

Encampment Staff to hold an HONOR ENCAMPMENT.

Let us all pledge to do it right the first time, done correctly

according to CAP Regulations. Let’s work together as ateam to achieve a high level of training in a safe and healthy

environment. Together, let’s make the 2010 GAWG

Encampment an Honor Encampment.

What do we mean as honor? Honor is faithfulness to highmoral values. A person who is thought of as honorable is

usually one who does not break promises to others. An

honorable person is a person of integrity, one who does the

right thing even if no one is looking.

To bring praise or renown to one’s endeavors is the sign of an honorable person. As an example, a caring teacher is avaluable asset, one who brings honor to the teaching

profession. Such an individual is often assigned worth and

statue based on the harmony of his/her actions, based uponhis/her Code of Honor.

Public acknowledgment or admiration for an achievement is

considered an honor. As an example, we honor our soldiers

on Veterans Day. The foremost U.S. military decoration inthe United States is the Congressional Medal of Honor. It

was instituted by Congress in 1861 for the Navy and in

1862 for the Army. It is given to the special few who rise

to an occasion above and beyond the call of duty.

TOGETHER LET’S MAKE A PLEDGE.

Let us make the 2010 GAWG Summer Encampment anEncampment for all to remember. Let us make this

Encampment an HONOR ENCAMPMENT, and then let uscarry these high standards back to our individual Units and

Groups. As we perform our missions for America, let each

one of us strive to bring honor to ourselves and our

organization. Let us train well so that we can work together

as a successful and honorable team in our service to

America.

In Cadet Programs Learn to Lead , the warrior spirit is described

as a condition of the heart. The Air Force describes it as

tough-mindedness and tireless motivation. A warrior is someone

whose strong character enables them to make sacrifices for the team

and achieve their long-term goals. Warriors defend something

valuable – their personal honor. Having a warrior spirit means that

you make a promise to yourself that you will not lie, cheat, or steal,

even if everyone else commits those wrongs.

Why does the warrior spirit matter? Like a muscle, the warrior

spirit grows stronger as you exercise it. By overcoming small

challenges in your daily life, you strengthen your character so that

when something unnerving happens to you one day, you’ll be ready for

it emotionally and spiritually.

Some of the benefits of striving for a warrior spirit:

Clear Conscience. Having a warrior spirit means your conscience is

clear. You’ll enjoy freedom from shame and embarrassment and you’ll

take pride in your actions.

Good Reputation. People who display a warrior spirit build good

reputations. They earn trust and respect by doing the right thing, and

their leaders take note. Environment of Trust and Respect. If you and

the people around you display the warrior spirit, you will be creating

an environment of trust and respect. This translates into a life that is

less stressful and more rewarding.

But what is that thing? Which values should we give priority to so

that our lives are honorable? Borrowing from the Air Force, Civil Air

Patrol has identified four Core Values to guide every cadet and

officer.

What are “Core Values”?

The Core Values are the four basic qualities CAP expects all members

to display at all times: Integrity First, Volunteer Service, Excellence in

All We Do, and Respect. They are to guide how we live and perform

CAP missions. Our success in everything we do hinges on how well

we embrace the Core Values. Simply put, the Core Values are the

price of admission to CAP.




Fort Gordon, located in Georgia, is an United States Army Installation, and it is thepresent home of the U.S. Signal Corps. The main part of the post is the AdvancedIndividual Training for Signal Corps military occupational specialties. Both Fort Gordonand the Signal Center are commanded by Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Foley.

Scheduled and approved for construction in July, 1941, Fort Gordon was first calledCamp Gordon in honor of John Brown Gordon who was a Major General in theConfederate Army, a Georgia governor, a United States senator, and a businessman.It wasn’t until March 21, 1956 that the post was renamed Fort Gordon.

A groundbreaking and flag-raising ceremony took place in October. In response to thePearl Harbor Attack, on December 9, 1941 Colonel Herbert W. Schmidt, the CampCommander, moved his staff from his temporary office in the Augusta Post OfficeBuilding to the unfinished headquarters building at Camp Gordon. The 4th InfantryDivision began to establish operations there.

The post was home to three divisions during WWII: the 4th Infantry, the 26th Infantry,and the 10th Armored. From October 1943 to January 1945, Camp Gordon served asan internment camp for foreign prisoners of war. From May 1945 until April 1946, theU.S. Army Personnel and Separation Center processed nearly 86,000 personnel for discharge from the Army.

There have been many uses for this facility. From early 1946 to June 1947, the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks for Convicted Criminals was located at Camp Gordon. In

September 1948, the Army relocated the Military Police School from Carlisle Barracksin Pennsylvania to Camp Gordon. In October 1948, a Signal Corps training center wasactivated.

During the 1950s through the 1970s, Fort Gordon served as a basic-training facility. Italso provided advanced individual training for troops. Since June 1985, Fort Gordonhas housed the U.S. Signal Corps, the branch of the U.S. Army responsible for providing and maintaining information systems and communication networks. TheSignal Corps training center's primary purpose is to conduct specialized instruction for all Signal Corps military and civilian personnel.

It is interesting to note that this facility near Augusta, Georgia is not the original CampGordon. The original was a World War I basic training facility located in DekalbCounty, near the city of Chamblee. That original Camp Gordon was the originatingbase for the creation of the 82nd Infantry Division which later became the 82nd

Airborne Division. That Camp Gordon was the location where Pvt. Alvin York receivedhis basic training, not the present Fort Gordon.

The Encampment experience accents the traits that distinguish Cadets from

their non-Cadet peers. Cadets will learn to develop discipline and teamwork, andto accept personal responsibility. Throughout the Encampment, the Air Force

Core Values will be emphasized during the various activities with the intention of

developing the moral character of the Cadets. Character Development classes

help Cadets achieve these high standards.

On Monday afternoon, Major Whitworth, the Encampment Chaplain, led a

Character Development session which was taken from FLIGHT TIME: Values for

Living. The lesson called “When Good Is Not Good Enough” deals with a

situation of disappointment by a Squadron Commander over the performance by

Cadets in his Unit.After hearing the Case Study, the Cadets, led by their Flight Sergeants,

deliberated upon and shared their thoughts about such questions as:

1. “Can a person, a group or a team win without coming in first?

2. How can you respond when people in authority over you are disappointed in

your performance?

3. What are ways that you can prepare and perform so that you can respect

yourself when others are disappointed in your performance?”

The DDR session led by Encampment Safety Officer, 1Lt Salgado, was an

eye-opener. When asked by 1Lt Salgado if any of them knew gang members,

many Cadet participants indicated that they knew gang members in their schools.

A serious discussion ensued. During the discussion, 1Lt Salgado informed the

Cadets that once a person enters a gang, it is almost impossible to leave that gang.

She said that gangs are all about drugs, and that drug dealers normally

come out of gangs. She explained that new members are often questioned “Who

do you see as your family?” and try to convince newcomers that they are like

members of a family which sticks together at all times. There is alwaystremendous pressure to join a gang.

1Lt. Salgado concluded the session by asking the Cadets to keep this

thought in their mind; “When asked “Who’s your family?”, the correct answer

should be...CAP IS MY FAMILY!




Safety takes precedence over

all other concerns.

There is zero tolerance

for unsafe behavior.

In order to prevent dehydration:

Drink at least one glass of waterper meal.

Hydrate routinely throughout the day.
