Through Sept. 14, CAP members from 17 states

participating 'in ground missions. Ground team
members visited 4,266 homes of 8,504 residents in
southern Mississippi to ensure they were safe and had
enough food and water to survive, and received any
critical medical care. They worked there about 1 1/2
weeks under the leadership of CAP National Commander Maj. Gen. Antonio J. Pineda, Vice Cornmander Brig. Gen. Rex E. Glasgow and other CAP
officers.
Meanwhile, through Sept. 30, CAP pilots had
flown more than 850 air missions, soaring more than
1,880 hours in the air so agencies like MDOT could
photograph and assess damage.
Providing a vital backbone to all missions, CAP
employees at CAP's National Operations Center at
Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., worked around the
clock to assist 1st Air Force.
In Mississippi, Maj. Gen. Pineda joined ground
team members as they visited residents in a storm-torn
neighborhood near Stennis International Airport
There, fallen pine trees lay on power lines, and
many residents were living outside their homes

Inputs & ideas from Civil Air Patrol's leadership

CAP excels during hurricane response
e can all be very proud of the outstanding service Civil Air Patrol provided to
our nation during the recent hurricane
tions. From communications support to
transportation, ground surveying to sensor and
imagery flights, shelter operations to critical
incident stress management -- CAP was definitely
the resource of choice for many federal, state and
local agencies.
In support of hurricanes Katrina, Ophelia and
Rita, 1,776 CAP members contributed 36,083 man
hours, flew 960 air sorties, logged 1,850 flight hours,
surveyed 4,266 homes and made 8,524 contacts in
direct support to the victims of these devastating
storms. Keep in mind these statistics don't take into
account all of the indirect support numero.us CAP
wings provided state agencies to help with evacuee
transportation and other functions like shelter
management.
It is particularly interesting to note that every
CAP region provided support for the hurricane relief
efforts. Here are just a few specific examples of the
great work CAP members accomplished:
A ground team knocked on the door of a
house and thought they heard a faint voice. They
opened the door and called in and an elderly lady
responded. She was laying in bed connected to a life
support system, dependent on electricity, which had
been knocked out by the storm. CAP members
immediately notified emergency medical personnel
and ultimately helped save her life;
O CAP members came across a deaf homeowner
who was not able to use her electronic communication device because her phone didn't work. One of

that with such visibility comes
additional responsibilities and
expectations from our
customers, and they will

volunteer organization is one
of the very best of its kind in
the world and we need to
keep it that way, and
professionalism is the key to
making that happen.

food to the family; and
CAP's support to U.S. Northern Command
was at an all-time high during the hurricane relief
efforts. CAP members provided vital air transportation to key federal officials into and out of the New
Orleans area -- an area inaccessible by any other
transportation method. In addition, CAP provided
critical support in an important mission area
dubbed ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Members took hundreds of photos so
U.S. Northern Command and other agencies could
conduct imagery analysis of critical infrastructure
such as roads, bridges, dams, power plants, and
refineries. CAP's newest technology, ARCHER, was
also used and performed well as an ISR asset.
ARCHER was used not only by U.S. Northern
Command, but also used extensively by the Army
Corps of Engineers to obtain high resolution georectified imagery of the disaster area.
Your CAP leadership is extremely pleased with
the significant contributions our members made to
this unprecedented disaster. Federal authorities,

value CAP brings to emergency response operations.
The CAP National Operations Center submitted
daily reports detailing CAP's accomplishments and
this information was briefed to the secretaries of the
Air Force and Defense on a daily basis -- exactly the
kind of excellent visibility we need on a regular
basis!
Let's not rest on our laurels. It's time to start
planning for the next major disaster. We learned
several things
during this
hurricane season
that need to be
worked on for the
future. For
instance, wings
need to continue
training in all
specialties using
the approved
nationally stan......
dardized emergency services
curriculum. In addition, work must begin, or
continue, to get CAP wings fully integrated into
their state's emergency preparedness agencies, state
governments and military organizations. During a
disaster is the wrong time to establish these relationships. Our current and potential customers need
to know our realistic capabilities so we're already on
their checklist to call when disaster strikes. Our
abilities can be limited by the availability of our
members, so we must continue to recruit and retain
highly skilled personnel who can fill all required
specialties.
Furthermore, we have to anticipate and adhere
to our customer's requirements. If we perform our
missions in a highly professional and safe manner,
we will likely be called again in the future. CAP
received incredible visibility for its hurricane relief
support, but we must expect that with such visibility
comes additional responsibilities and expectations
from our customers, and they will expect us to
deliver when it counts -- every time. Our volunteer
organization is one of the very best of its kind in the
world and we need to keep it that way, and professionalism is the key to making that happen.
Many thanks to those who deployed and the
thousands of other members all across this great
nation of ours who were ready to deploy on a
moment's notice. And a special thanks for everyone's

ivil Air Patrol members rose
to the call to respond to the
devastation caused by
Hurricane Katrina. While much of
CAP's response was for air support,
our members were also involved on
the ground -- dealing firsthand with
the dangers associated with disaster
relief in a post-hurricane environment.
Since flood zones contain many
hazards not usually experienced by
most people, proper preparation is
important to stay healthy and functional during and after deployment.
Floodwaters contain human and
animal waste as well as household
chemicals, pesticides, petroleum
products and industrial wastes. In
addition to the risk of infection,
chemical exposures can also cause
illness.
In addition, standing water can
promote mosquito breeding and
illnesses such as West Nile Virus.

Exposure to a contaminated environment increases the risk of any wound
becoming infected. Mold and other
environmental toxins in buildings can
cause respiratory illnesses. Heat and
emotional issues can also
take their toll, and crowded
evacuation shelters can
contribute to the rapid
spread of illnesses.
Va c c i n a t i o n s
Rescue and relief
workers are advised to
ensure they have had a
tetanus booster within the
last 10 years before deployment. The hepatitis B
vaccine is recommended for
those who may be exposed to
blood or body fluids. For those working in crowded shelters, the hepatitis
A vaccine and the varicella vaccine (if
no previous chicken pox or shingles
infection) are recommended.

INSPECTORS GENERAL
Civil Air Patrol wishes to resolve all complaints and g, ;evances in a fair and impartial manner. If a member believes that he or she has a complaint, they should consult CAP Regulation 123-2
and then make every effort to resolve the issue at
the lowest appropriate level. If that effort is unsuccessful, then members should direct their questions
or problems to the attention of any Of the following CAP inspector generals: listed below.
as your new CAP national safety officer, I
am looking forward to the challenge of
working with each of you to make Civil Air
Patrol, as well as your everyday life, a
safer environment. As such, it is my desire to enlist
the help of every CAP member, from our youngest
cadet to our beloved charter members.
I cannot be everywhere and see everything. For
this, 1 am going to enlist you. As you well know,
everyone is a safety officer. Everyone makes risk
management decisions every day. When you go to
cross the street, you look and see a truck coming.
The question -- "Do I step out into the street to cross
and get hit by the truck or should I wait
until it passes and cross safely?" -- is
answered then.
Everything we do in CAP and our
everyday life entails risk management
decisions. Are we absolving ourselves of
some of these decisions or are we purposely making decisions that will lead to
t h e i n j u r y o f a C A P m e m b e r, t e m p o r a r y o r
permanent loss of a CAP asset or the
injury or death of a friend?
I do not believe any one of us would
consciously make such an irresponsible
decision; however, consider this possible
scenario. During a mission at a local VFR or visualflight-rules only airport, the local weather is stated
to be below VFR minimums. Upon looking at the sky
and surrounding area, the incident commander
thinks the weather report is wrong and then decides
to send up a pilot to see if they might just be able to
get some flights launched.
Now, you have a risk management decision. If
the pilot takes off and finds himself in the clouds,
should he or she go below VFR minimums to get
below the clouds or fly using instrument flight rules
and try to go somewhere else? Fact is, the pilot took
off when the reported weather was below VFR
minimums, and then flew into IFR conditions
without a clearance, and any way you look at this
situation, there is nothing but trouble.
Bottom line -- I need your eyes and ears to help
me keep CAP safe. That is why I am implementing

CHAPLAIN SPOTLIGHT
C

haplain (Lt. Col.) James S.
Hamilton, who currently
serves as the Nebraska
Wing chaplain, was recently asked to
also serve as the deputy chaplain for
the North
Central Region.
Chaplain
Hamilton was
recruited as a
Nebraska Wing
group chaplain
in 1964 by
Chaplain (Maj.)
James Wann,
then the
Nebraska Wing
chaplain.
Chaplain Hamilton served in the
A r m y A i r C o r p s d u r i n g Wo r l d Wa r I I .
He served assignments at Casa Air
Base in Casablanca, North Africa,
Abadan Air Field, in Abadan, Iran,
a n d o n e w i t h t h e A i r Tr a n s p o r t

Command at Payne Field in Cairo,
Egypt. Upon discharge, he returned to
his home in Coleman, Texas, where
his parents lived, and he joined the
inactive reserve of the Air Corps.

Chaplain Hamilton wanted to

high school diploma. He and his wife,
D o r o t h y, e n r o l l e d i n a n d a t t e n d e d

to Howard Payne University in
Brownwood, Texas. After completing
his degree at Howard Payne, he spent
two years in the pastorate.
The chaplain wanted more
ministry training so he enrolled in
Southwestern Baptist Theological
S e m i n a r y i n F o r t Wo r t h , Te x a s . W h i l e
there, he worked with the Texas
Alcohol and Drug Education Program.
Following graduation from Southwestera Baptist, the family moved to North
Platte, Neb., where he served with the
Nebraska Council on Alcohol and
Drug Education for 35 years.
Out in the sand hills of Nebraska,
while visiting one of the ranchers who
had become a friend of the council,
Chaplain Hamilton was challenged by
the rancher to spend the afternoon
helping him move cattle from one
range to
another. He had
never done
anything like
that; however,
he nevertheless
agreed to give it
a t r y. A f t e r
lunch, the
rancher gave
him a straw hat
and some
instructions. It
was then he
learned he was
going to help
move some
Hereford bulls.
By the time
the sun was
sinking behind
the sand hills,
the rancher
announced they
were through
and it was time
f o r s u p p e r. C h a p l a i n H a m i l t o n r e t i r e d
early that evening, convinced he was
not cowboy material.
The chaplain was introduced to
the Civil Air Patrol chaplain ministry
early in his career. He and Chaplain
Wa n n w e r e w a i t i n g a t L e e B i r d
Airport in North Platte on a cloudy
afternoon for a "Gooney Bird" to take
them to a training event for chaplains.
The plane landed and taxied up to
near where they were standing. The
door opened, a foot ladder was
dropped and they were motioned by an

aircrew member to board the plane.
He recalled it was a real "stop-and-go"
situation.
Chaplain Hamilton has served
under the command of 14 Nebraska
wing commanders. They have worked
together to make the wing the best it
could become. He recalled a young
man who made a distinct impression
on him -- then Col. Richard L.
Anderson. Chaplain Hamilton said it
became apparent to him the colonel
was an outstanding member of the
Nebraska Wing and a man who would
not give in to being a second-rate CAP
officer. Col. Anderson's knowledge and
energy were an encouragement to all
members in the Nebraska Wing,
including Chaplain Hamilton.
Chaplain Hamilton and his wife
were blessed with three children. A
son, James M., who lives in Paris,
Texas; a daughter, Lenora Phillips,
who lives in Hattiesburg, Miss.; and
their youngest daughter, the late
Deborah Lanning, who lived in
Lincoln, Neb. Although retired, the
chaplain still serves the LincolnLancaster County Area on Aging in
Lincoln.
CAP
honored Chaplain Hamilton
during the
national awards
ceremony at the
2005 CAP
Annual Conference in St. Louis
as CAP's Senior
Chaplain of the
Year. He is an
avid pilot and
has taken part
in numerous
CAP search and
rescue missions,
He has earned
both the observer and
scanner ratings,
is a mission
chaplain and a
recipient of
CAP's highest
achievement level for senior members
- - t h e G i l l R o b W i l s o n Aw a r d .
He also has served as chaplain for
numerous cadet encampments,
weather schools and national flight
academies, and is a graduate and
active alumnus of the North Central
Region Chaplain Service Staff College.
Congratulations, Chaplain
Hamilton, for all you have accomplished, and thank you so much for
helping make the Nebraska Wing and
Civil Air Patrol the outstanding
national organization it is today!

are different. Please review the individual
activity descriptions for special application
details.
To locate the.CAPF 31 Online, go to
www.cap.gov (eServices Web page) and
click the "NCSA Main Menu" link under
"CAP Utilities" to apply for special
As you follow the instructions
for entering your request, you will also get
to check (and correct if necessary) your
address, contact information and
)nal characteristics that National
Headquarters (NHQ) has on file.
Note: You will need Explorer 6.0 and
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 to complete the
application, and both are downloadable
from the eServices site.
When you have completed the
application, you will be asked to perform
several functions. First, electronically
submit your application to NHQ online.
(When you have completed, reviewed
and printed your CAPF 31, it will automatically be transmitted to NHQ electronically.) Second, print the application and

block (Page 4 of the application). Third,
forward a printed and signed copy of the
CAPF 31 to your squadron commander.
The form will be reviewed at the squadron
and forwarded to your wing commander
for ranking.
If your CAPF 31 is not ranked by the
wing, you will not be considered for a slot
at a national activity. (Tip! Make sure your
squadron commander forwards the CAPF
31 to the wing for ranking.)
I M P O R TA N T I S S U E S
For personnel applying for staff
please complete a separate
CAPF 31 and mark it "STAFF" in the top
left corner. Forward it to your wing or
group, as appropriate, for review. Note
that acceptance for the activity is not
necessarily acceptance to a staff position.
The activity director will review staff
applications and contact those accepted
directly. For cadets applying for more than
one NCSA, please clearly indicate your
desired preferences, in order, on the
second page of the application.
Note: Because of supplementary
procedures used for International Air
Cadet Exchange selection, list lACE last

respond with payment and confirmation of
attendance.
Your wing may set an earlier deadline
for receiving its copy of the CAPF 31.
For all cadets applying to any activity,
you must have encampment credit prior to
attending any NCSA If an activity has an
age requirement, it must be met before
the activity starts! If NHQ does not have a
record of encampment completion prior to
the date of the activity, then you will have
to show the activity director your encampment completion certificate prior to the
start of the national activity.
If you do not have ready access to a
computer, please notify someone in your
squadron as soon as possible so
arrangements can be made for you to get
online.
ACTIVITY TIMELINES
For all activities except Cadet Leadership Academy, Hawk Mountain, NESA and
lACE, the CAPF 31 must be completed
and submitted online to NHQ with a
printed and signed copy forwarded to the
squadron commander not later than Dec.
31. The squadron commander reviews,
signs and forwards the CAPF 31 to the
wing for its review and ranking. The
review and ranking process by the
squadrons and wings occurs between
Jan. 1 - Feb. 22, 2006.
Results are due from the wing to NHQ
no later than Feb. 23. Please see CLA,
Hawk Mountain, NESA and lACE for their
dates.
THE SLOTTING PROCESS
NHQ will slot as many ranked applicants as possible; however, being ranked
does not guarantee you will be slotted as
a primary for your preferred activity, since
the number of available slots will be less
than the number of applicants ranked.
Being ranked does guarantee you will
compete for a slot. You will be placed on
the alternate list if not selected as a
primary for your preferred activity.
Notification of individual slotting
results will be e-mailed by March 21.
Additionally, you can view your activity
status by logging on to eServices and
clicking the "Check My Status" link found
in the "NCSA Main Menu" area.
Personnel slotted as primary attendees
will have until April 30 to submit their
payment in full to NHQ for all NCSAs
except NESA. The academy director and
project officer coordinate all fees and slots
for NESA and will provide guidance for
payment in their welcome letter. Applicants whose payments have not been
received by April 30 will become alternates and their primary slots will be
offered to other applicants on the
alternate list. See CLA, Hawk Mountain
and NESA for activity payment details.
S E N I O R M E M B E R A P P L I C AT I O N S

COMES TO END
This month's issue of the Civil Air Patrol
News brings about a bittersweet moment in
the publication's history of service to the memb e r s o f C A P. N o t o n l y d o e s i t m a r k t h e
publication's 37th anniversary, but also the final issue of the newspaper as the organization
gears up to introduce a glossy full-color bimonthly magazine in January 2006.
The Civil Air Patrol News has been in
existence since November 1968 when it replaced the CAP Times newspaper. And for
the past 37 years, CAP's premiere internal publication has been the source of a host of significant stories -- from search and rescue missions and saves to unit events and organizational changes to recognizing new leaders and
award winners.
As the newspaper now makes way f~r the
new CAP magazine, no one can predict bow
the organization will change or who its new
leaders will be or how many saves will be written about in the years to come. But one thing
is for certain, a cutting-edge internal CAP publication complete with a motivated and professional staff will be there to document the
incredible stories and accomplishments of
CAP's "everyday heroes" who so vigilantly perform missions for America.

The volunteer efforts have been
recognized by the U.S. Air Force,
which recently bestowed resounding
praise on CAP in its daily online and
e-mail news summary called AIM
Points.
"CAP provided and will continue
to provide for the United States and
the Air Force unique, cost-effective
capabilities and is a true force multip l i e r, " p a r t o f t h e s u m m a r y a t t h e A I M

While hundreds of CAP members
traveled to Louisiana and Mississippi,
many others contributed time, effort
and money from their home states.
Following are the some of the
contributions members made in

O Members of the Oklahoma Wing

cadets for 12-hour shifts;

O Members of the Texas Wing's
Group 13 assisted the 447th Support
Squadron of the Texas State Guard

touch your face or rub your eyes unless your hands
are clean. Eat and drink in the cleanliest area
available, and avoid contact with standing water.

contract skin infections.
Respiratory protection may be needed if working around mold or other airborne contaminants.
Drink only bottled water if no other safe supply is
available, including water for brushing your teeth.

If you contract a diarrheal illness, drink lots of
fluids and use immodium or bismuth (Pepto-Bismol)

N E W J E R S E Y - Tw o
Twin Pine Composite Squadron cadets found themselves
in the middle of a real
emergency near Hammonton,
N.J.
As part of the Air Force's
annual review of the search
and rescue capabilities of the
New Jersey Wing, aircrews
and ground crews were
assigned to various simulated
missions throughout the state.
That morning, cadets 2nd
Lt. Jay Henderek and Master
Sgt. David Pankove were
assigned to a ground crew
whose first mission was to
locate a simulated small plane
crash near Hammonton in the
Wharton State Forest. This
crew had successfully "rescued the pilot" and was
proceeding to its second
assignment of locating the
passengers of the plane and
sensitive documents they
were carrying.
En route on the second
task, the ground crew came
upon an accident involving a
m i n i - v a n a n d a Ve r i z o n t r u c k .
While senior members began
first aid and directed traffic
around the accident, Cadet
Henderek informed mission
base at the Trenton-Mercer
Airport of the situation.
Personnel at this site immediately called 911.
Cadets Henderek and
Pankove demonstrated their
training had prepared them
well. While Cadet Pankove
was monitoring the
Hammonton Police Department and the Hammonton
Fire/EMS frequencies, he
heard a request for a landing
zone to be cleared for an
emergency evacuation
helicopter. In a matter of
minutes, members of the CAP
rescue crew cleared a space
for the landing.
The injured were quickly
evacuated and treated, with
none of them sustaining
serious injuries.
