    This is the second installment ofour new newsletter, so if youare a returning reader, thanks forreturning! If this is your firsttime, then WELCOME! I hopeyou will find it informative andentertaining as well. A LOT ofhard work goes into this eachmonth, so please, when you seethe editor, Major Norm Noah andhis assistant, C/Capt Amie Kauf-mann please give them a heart-felt THANK YOU! for all theyare doing. I know I do!

    It has been a busy month for thesquadron! First, I would like towelcome our new deputy com-

    mander of cadets, 2dLt NormPotter. Lt Potter has graciouslyaccepted to fill the position, va-cated by Capt Don Dillingham,who has decided it was time tomove on to other things. I wouldlike to thank Capt Dillingham forhis years of hard work and ser-vice to our squadron and the

    cadet program. Under his direc-tion, the program and the squad-ron have earned several awardsand notable accomplishments

    over the years, and with Lt Pot-ters leadership, I am sure wewill continue the forward mo-mentum! Good luck, Lt Potter!

    CLEAN AIR

    Many potential terroristattacks could send tinymicroscopic "junk" into theair. For example, an explo-sion may release very finedebris that can cause lungdamage. A biological at-tack may release germsthat can make you sick if inhaled orabsorbed through open cuts. Many ofthese agents can only hurt you if theyget into your body, so think aboutcreating a barrier between yourselfand any contamination.

    Nose and Mouth Protection

    Face masks or dense-weave cottonmaterial, that snugly covers your noseand mouth and is specifically fit foreach member of the family. Do what-ever you can to make the best fitpossible for children.

    Be prepared to improvise with whatyou have on hand to protect yournose, mouth, eyes and cuts in yourskin. Anything that fits snugly overyour nose and mouth, including anydense-weave cotton material, canhelp filter contaminants in an emer-gency. It is very important that mostof the air you breathe comes throughthe mask or cloth, not around it. Do

    whatever you can to make the best fitpossible for children. There are also avariety of face masks readily avail-able in hardware stores that are ratedbased on how small a particle theycan filter in an industrial setting.

    Given the different typesof attacks that could occur,there is not one solutionfor masking. For instance,simple cloth face maskscan filter some of theairborne "junk" or germsyou might breathe intoyour body, but will proba-

    bly not protect you from chemicalgases. Still, something over your noseand mouth in an emergency is betterthan nothing. Limiting how much"junk" gets into your body may im-pact whether or not you get sick ordevelop disease.

    Other Barriers

    Heavyweight plastic garbage bags orplastic sheeting

    Duct tape

    Scissors

    There are circumstances when stay-ing put and creating a barrier betweenyourself and potentially contaminatedair outside, a process known as"shelter-in-place," is a matter ofsurvival. You can use these things totape up windows, doors and air ventsif you need to seal off a room fromoutside contamination. Considerprecutting and labeling these materi-als. Anything you can do in advance

    will save time when it counts.

    Use available information to assessthe situation. If you see large amountsof debris in the air, or if local authori-ties say the air is badly contaminated,you can use these things to tape up

    windows, doors and air vents if youneed to seal off a room. Read more:Deciding to Stay or Go.

    HEPA (High Efficiency ParticulateAir Filtration) Filter Fans

    Once you have sealed a room withplastic sheeting and duct tape youmay have created a better barrierbetween you and any contaminantsthat may be outside. However, noseal is perfect and some leakage islikely. In addition to which, you mayfind yourself in a space that is alreadycontaminated to some degree.

    Consider a portable air purifier, witha HEPA filter, to help remove con-

    taminants from the room where youare sheltering. These highly efficientfilters have small sieves that cancapture very tiny particles, includingsome biological agents. Once trappedwithin a HEPA filter contaminantscannot get into your body and makeyou sick. While these filters are ex-cellent at filtering dander, dust,molds, smoke, biological agents andother contaminants, they will not stopchemical gases.

    Some people, particularly those withsevere allergies and asthma, useHEPA filters in masks, portable airpurifiers as well as in larger home or

    industrial models to continuouslyfilter the air.

    Its only natural that a U.S.-basedcompany would support the Civil Air

    Patrol, said Alex Dumm, Goodyeargeneral manager for global aviationtires. In fact, Goodyear is proudthat its American-made technologi-cally advanced aviation tires areflying high with Civil Air Patrol onan expanded role in helping keep

    America safe.

    As the safety of our members is atop priority, we are proud to haveGoodyear as a partner in performingmissions for America and look for-ward to a long relationship, said AlAllenback, CAP executive director.

    Nazi submarine attacks duringWorld War II. Today, CAP volun-teers are being asked again to helpwith homeland security missions tokeep our citizens secure, said Maj.Gen. Richard Bowling, CAP na-

    tional commander.

    And like CAP, Goodyear, too, hasbeen doing its part, Bowling said.The company not only providessafe products for the general avia-tion industry but also plays animportant role in its work with the

    U.S. Department of Defense.

    MAXWELL AFB, Ala. Civil AirPatrol has entered into a corporatepartnership agreement with theGoodyear Tire & Rubber Co., theworld leader in aviation tires.

    While terms of the agreement wereundisclosed, Goodyears support ofCivil Air Patrol (CAP) will includeproviding Goodyear Flight CustomIII aviation tires for use by CAPscorporate aircraft fleet. In return,Goodyear will receive the right touse the CAP name and corporatesupporter mark in the companysadvertising, marketing and promo-tional programs during the year.

    The third annual Basic Ground Team

    School is going to be held under the

    auspices of Group V this year. It is

    tentatively scheduled for the third

    weekend of April in order to com-

    plete it before the MER SAR School

    tentatively scheduled for the first

    weekend in May (thus allowing those

    who wish to attend both the ability to

    complete their Ground Team task

    training in two weekends ).

    The need to find a new location

    for the school has caused a delay in

    the preparations however, so LtCol

    Wisniewski, School Commander, has

    asked me to send out an informa-

    tional message so that those inter-

    ested in attending can begin to makepreparations. A formal notification

    letter will be going out shortly, and

    information in that letter will take

    precedence over this message in the

    event changes are necessary.

    As in the past, the School is

    designed to provide Cadets and Sen-

    ior Members with a General Emer-

    gency Services rating the opportunity

    to be trained in, and signed off on the

    Familiarization and Preparatory

    Training tasks to become Ground

    Team Member trainees. Those wish-

    ing to attend as students should start

    preparing now.Students will be required to pos-

    sess ALL gear for the 24 hour and 72

    hour packs, (not just those shown

    with a (T) after it), as listed in task O-

    0001 of the Ground & Urban Direc-

    tion Finding Team Tasks. Failure to

    do so will at best prevent you from

    being signed off for that task, and at

    worst being dismissed from the

    school (this gear will be required for

    use in training, not to mention per-

    sonal safety). With all of the gear

    available for use that is stored by NC

    Wing, local units, and individual

    members, there is no reason not to

    have the necessary equipment for the

    school. One of the items listed for

    the 24 hour pack is the Ground Team

    Member's Handbook. This contains

    the Ground & Urban Direction Find-

    ing Team Tasks. It is compact, witha green cover. Students will be re-

    quired to obtain a copy for the school

    (Available @ CAPMART for $1.50).

    We will not allow computer print-

    outs of the Task Guides this year due

    to the problems encountered with

    them at last year'! s school. It is

    strongly urged that students review

    the Familiarization and Preparatory

    Training tasks before arriving at the

    school (see CAPF 101T-GTM for the

    required tasks. They are the ones on

    the Left side of the form. Then look

    them up in the Ground Team Mem-ber's Handbook). It will be difficult

    not to pass all the tasks if you do

    this!

    All members attending the schoolwill be required to wear proper,

    COMPLETE uniforms, as per CAPR

    39-1. The two uniforms allowed at

    the school will be BDU's for Cadets,

    and Senior Members meeting weight

    and grooming standards as per CAPR

    39-1 or the Blue Field Uniform for

    Senior Members who do not. No

    boonie hats, berets, or USMC-style

    caps will be allowed. As in the past,

    we will need instructors to help run

    the school. We are looking for

    Ground Team Leaders and Members,

    preferably SET evaluators in order to

    sign off on tasks, however those thatare not SET evaluators will be al-

    lowed to instruct as well. Those

    wishing to be Instructors at the school

    should contact either LtCol

    Wisniewski or myself ASAP for

    further details.

    We look forward to yet another

    professional and successful Basic

    Ground Team School.

    still 14 May 2004. Apologies in

    advance for the error.

If a CAPF 31 arriveswithout this attachment it willbe returned in its entirety andconsidered "not accepted". Iwill have an on-line versionavailable on the web soon.

    One criteria we ask for on thisattachment is "dietary restric-tions". This is not merely aquestion of what preferences a

    All NC Wing Personnel

    I want to publicly thank MajorJeff Willis for his handling of themissing aircraft mission duringthis past week.

    Major Willis exhibited a profes-sional IC approach in his execu-tion the mission. His thoughtfulapproach to the mission wasexhibited throughout the mission.

    Jeff also asked mission base per-

    sonnel of the highest caliber to

    assist him with the mission baseduties. He utilized Lt. Col. Jay

    Langley, Lt. Col.Dave Crawford, Major CharlesLayno, Lt. Col. NormWiskiewski and Major BrianBuczkowski. All of whom per-formed with a high degree ofprofessionalism and dedication tothe mission requirements andobjectives.

    During the Multi Wing IC con-ference call on Tuesday nightMajor Willis'
