F a t h e r, s o n s a v e c h i l d
GRISSOM AFB, Ind. -Recently the fast action of a
(hther and son team of Civil
Air Patrol members here
helped save an 8-year-old boy
from hanging.
According to tile boy's
mother, her son Joseph had
finished dinner and gone out,~ide to play with a family
friend. She said her son was
I rying to help his friend climb
a tree in their yard and had
tied a rope to both his and his
friend's waists in an attempt
to pull the friend into the tree.
She said that this didn't work
so Joseph tied his section of
tile rope around his neck,
climbed into the tree. and
began to slide down on the
other side of a branch to lift
his friend.
,Joseph fell with the rope
aroundhis neck.
Joseph's friend began

screaming. The rope tied to
his waist prevented him from
running for help. Joseph's
mother could not hear the
cbitd's screams as she was
inside her house. But the
child's pleas were heard.
Sixteen-year-old William
Watts Jr., and his father, both
members of Valparaiso Cadet
Squadron, were outside working on a car when they heard
the screams, looked to see
what was happening and saw
Joseph.
The younger Watts leaped
tile fence separating the two
yards, lifted Joseph and began to try and untie the rope
from around the child's neck.
"When 1 got there," said William Watts Sr., "I thought he
was in a lot worse shape."
,Joseph's breathing was shallow and his skin had begun to
turn blue.

The elder Watts removed
the rope from Joseph's neck
and checked the child's pulse
and air passage. He said
doseph~s pulse was very weak.
Meanwhile Cadet Watts ran
into Joseph's house to let the
boy's mother know what had
happened and to call for emergency assistance.
By the time help arrived,
young Joseph was breathing
on his own. The family then
took Joseph to the hospital to
be checked.
"We were really glad they
were so alert about what was
going on," said Joseph's mother
of her neighbors, the Watts,
who both have training in first
aid.
As a result of the fast action
by both father and son, they
have each been awarded Civil
Air Patrol's Certificate of
Recognition for Lifesaving.

MEMBERSHIP SCREENING: An Open Letter
May 1, 1990
Dear Fellow Members,
These are tumultuous times indeed.
I frequently find myself modifying or retracting personnel policies before
they are implemented to keep pace with rapidly changing requirements.
In late 1989 I wrote each member who had not been fingerprinted and
suggested, "sustai ning membership," as an alternati ve. The purpose of this
letter is to let you know that option is no longer available.
By action of the National Executive Committee, the sustaining membership category was eliminated in February. There are now only two senior
membership options: Active status or a new, "patron member," status.
Active members enjoy all the privileges of Civil Air Patrol membership and
must accept all responsibilities associated with such membership, to include
FBI fingerprint screening.
Patron members will be financial supporters ONLY. They will maintain
membership through payment of annual membership dues and will be issued
a distinctive membership card, but they are restricted from active participation.
Patrons will not wear the uniform; will not ride in Civil Air Patrol aircraft;
and will not participate in unit activities except for limited special events to
be outlined in Civil Air Patrol Regulation 35-1.
Fifteen percent of our membership are currently identified as, "sustain-

ing." Those who have been fingerprinted will be automatically transferred
to active membership unless they specifically request patron status.
All other members who have not been fingerprinted will be transferred to
patron status unless their Civil Air Patrol Form 12a and fingerprint card are
received. The deadline is June 30.
Please believe that we recognize the aggravation, inconvenience and
downright nuisance these personnel changes are causing. Your leadership
deliberated long and hard over each change. But we also ask that you believe
each decision was made with the best interest of the program at heart.
We regret we will lose many members with the increased dues, additional
screening and restricted activities; but we are prepared to accept these temporary losses to preserve the overall program. It's that serious.
We solicit your support.
Sincerely,

E E ItAtl -'

(; L'NTER AFB, Ala. -- The grade of
cadet colonel is umque in Civil Air
Patrol because its the only grade conferred upon cadets by National Headquarters Civil Air Patrol. It is presented along with the Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz Award and is intended to identify cadets who have completed Civil
Air Patrol's entire Cadet Training Program and are ready to take their place
among tomorrows aerospace leaders.
The history behind the grades of
cadet colonel and cadet lieutenant
colonel dates back to the 1940s. Civil
Air Patrol's cadet program started in
1942 with no cadet officers., The highest grade a cadet ~ould earn was first
sergeant. Other cadets served in lower
cadet enlisted grades.
In 1948 a new Cadet Rank System
was created. This system, formalized
i n C i v i l A i r P a t r o l M a n u a l , Vo l . 1 ,
Book 1, in 1949, added to the enlisted
grades, saying cadets could be appointed cadet second lieutenant, cadet first lieutenant, and cadet captain.
The grades of cadet major, cadet
lieutenant colonel, and cadet colonel
were shown in the manual; but no
criteria was given on how a cadet was
to earn then~.
Policy through th(' 1950s was that
the highest cadet grade in a squadron
was cadet captain, with field gn'ade~
being used during encampments where
there were often hundreds of cadets
participating.
Some larger units created the positions of"Cadet Group Commander" or
"Chairman of the Cadet Council" and
promoted these individuals to the grade
o f c a d e t m a j o r. P r o m o t i o n s t o t h e
higher grades were rare. Again, these
promotions took place only after the
cadet officer had served as a cadet encampment commander.
In October 1955 a special notice
from the national commander Civil
Air Patrol appeared in an article ent i t l e d " C O N TA C T " i n t h e C i v i l a i r
Patrol News and explained -- "Several wings have recently submitted
for publication news stories which
indicate serious violations of(livil Air
Patrol regulations within the wings
concerned. These stories told of cadets who have attained the rank of
cadet major. Civil Air Patrol Regulation 20-1, attachments 12 and 13 authorize a maximum ffrade of captain
for Civil Air Patrol cadets Therefore,
there is no le~zal basis tbr a cadet to

hold rank above cadet captain
"The national commander has directed that no news releases w h i c h
reflect a violation of Civil Air Patrol
directives will be made to the public or
submitted for publication in CivilAir
Patrol News."
In June 1957, Civil Air Patrol Manual
50-2 expanded the table of organization and authorized the grade of cadet
major for cadet commanders of squadrons with more than 45 cadets. The
grades of cadet colonel and cadet lieutenant colonel were authorized only
for encampments.
Thin syat~meontinued until March
1964, when a new Cadet Training
Program was established with the intention of helping cadets become, "dynamic American and aerospace leaders." The new system made promotions according to the number of
achievements completed by the cadet
and authorized the grades up to cadet
lieutenant colonel for the cadet squadron commander if the cadet completed
all necessary achievements. The rank
of cadet coh)nel was presented when
the cadet received the "ultimate award"
named in honor of the first Civil Air
Patrol National Board Chairman.
retired Air Force (;en. ('arl A. St)m~tz.
The new system has been operating
tbr more than 25 years, gi\'~ng cadetthe opportunity to learn much about
aviation, the world nnd ~he Air Force
Some cadets have even continued their
Civil Air Patrol membership as seniors, and are leaders in many Civil Air
Patrol units today.
The first cadet colonel and Gen.
Carl A. Spaatz Award winner was
Douglas C. Roach, Michigan Wing
He went on to an Air Force career, becoming a pilot and member of the Air
Force's aerial demonstration team, the
Thunderbirds.

Col. Oscar K. Jolley

72 attend recent encampment
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Lexington Composlt,: Squadron
conducted it's annual Emergency Services Encampment
recently at North Auxiliary
AirField, North S.(" The encampment was ,trended by
72 Civil Air Patr,,1 members
from across the :tare.
According t6 Lt. Col.
Amanda Anderson, public
affairs officer for Lexington
Composite Squadron, this type
of encampment is held in the
field with attendees sleeping
in tents and cooking their food
over open fires. Colonel Anderson said the purpose of an
Emergency Services encampment is to teach various techniques needed by Civil air
Patrol ground teams during a
search and rescue mission.

Courses taught during the
three weekends of this encampment included first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation,
radio communications, ground
navigation, flight line procedures, air-to-ground signals,
working with aircraft, how to
follow an Emergency Locater
Transmitter signal, sign language for the hearing impaired, radiological awareness,
campsite set up, equipment
needs, and several problem
solving scenarios. Encampment attendees who passed
all tests become eligible to
receive certification as "mission qualified."
Civil Air Patrol ground
teams, according to Colonel
Anderson, need training in
how to track Emergency Lo-

19

cator Transmitter signals from
a downed aircraft, searching
for missing persons, or in
working problems related to
disaster relief.
"Ground teams can go where
aircraft cannot," said Colonel
Anderson. "They are also
usually the first to arrwe at
an accident scene. Therefore,
training received at encampments like this one help them
to be ready to deal with just
about anything.
"Ground teams practice
year-round to be ready for the
call to activate them. They
know that their quickness in
locating objectives and their
actions once they get there,
c o u l d m e a n t h e d i ff e r e n c e
between life and death."

News Note ..

Units respond to crash
HORSHAM, Pa. -- January 12 was a quiet day for the
North Willow Grove section of Upper Moreland Township,
Pa. At least, that is, until a Marine Corps A-4M fighter
crashed into the intersection of Broadway and Willow Avenue.
Emergency response was both fast and efficient, says
Maj. Lee F. Quinn, Pennsylvania Wing. Police and fire
equipment arrived on scene in less than five minutes.
As soon as the situation was stabilized, arrangements
were made to deploy Civil Air Patrol personnel for support
duties. More than 40 senior members and cadets responded. All were from units of Pennsylvania Wing's
Valley Forge Group 90.
Civil Air Patrol personnel helped provide perimeter security for the site and remained until relieved by Marine
Corps Reserve personnel. These Civil Air Patrol members,
mostly cadets, also assisted local authorities by escorting
residents who lived in the perimeter area to and from their
homes.
The aircraft's pilot ejected just before impact receiving
only minor injuries. Officials here say that thanks to the
flying skill of the pilot, there were no serious injuries and
property damage was kept to a minimum.

Annual symposium held
USAF ACADEMY, Colo. -- The 14th Annual Aerospace
Symposium was held here recently with approximately
100 educators, civilians and Civil Air Patrol members
from throughout the country in attendance.
Theme for this year's symposium was, "International
Aerospace." The program included the International Air
Cadet Exchange Program, national security, the National
Aerospace Plane project, Soviet civilian aviation and Boeing
Aircraft's plans for the future.
Nebraska Wing Director of AelospacdEducation, Capt.
Betty Edison, and Nebraska Wing Internal Aerospace Ofricer, Maj. Lorraine Davison, were among participants.
Also attending from Nebraska Wing's Lincoln Cadet
Squadron were Senior Member Diane Kunath and 2nd Lt.
Jo Kerwan.

Survivor credits unit
BURLINGTON, Vt. -- "Civil Air Patrol saved my life,"
said James Wilson, as he spoke to Vermont Wing Civil Air
patrol members, following dedication of a memorial plaque
at Duxbury, Vt., recently.
Wilson is the sole survivor of a B-24J Liberator that
crashed into Careers Hump, Vt., 45 years ago. He credits
the Waterbury Civil Air Patrol unit with saving his life.
Wilson and relatives of nine crash victims, were joined
by former Civil Air Patrol cadets, who rescued him, during
the dedication.
The B-24J Wilson was aboard had taken offfrom Westover
Field, Mass., and descended after crossing into Vermont.
The aircraft clipped Camel's Hump, spun out of control
and broke into pieces.
Wilson survived. However, he lost both his hands and
feet to frostbite. Wilson was not reached for 41 hours due,
according to sources, to confusion of the crash location. His
rescuers were led by Dr. Edwin A. Steele, a dentist and
experienced woodsman, who at the time served as Waterbury Unit commander.
Doctor Steele and unit cadets built a lean-to and worked
to keep Wilson warm until he could be transported.

Wings join in searcl
GRAYSON COUNTY, Texas -- Texas Wing members
recently joined with Oklahoma Wing search teams in what
Capt. Terry J. Hale, Texas Wing public affairs omcer,
reports was the largest search effort in Oklahoma history.
Texas Wing's Group 4, commanded by Lt. Col. Nick Federspiel, and Maj. Hugh Heck, set up mission headquarters
at Grayson County Airport here.
Hundreds of Civil Air Patrol personnel were involved in
the mission as aircrews, ground teams and staff.
The six-seater Cherokee aircraft was found about five
miles north of Colgate, Texas. There were no survivors.

recent Air Force-evaluated exercise. (Civil Air Patrol Photo by 1st Lt. Steven J. Zbozen, Capitol City
Composite Squadron, Louisiana Wing)

Exercise tests readiness
HAMMOND, La. -- "Louisiana Wing, Civil Air Patrol,
is in a constant state of readiness and this exercise helps
keep us there," said Capt. Steve
Knapper, flight operations ofricer for Louisiana Wing.
" We g e t c a l l s a l l h o u r s o f
the day or night and today's
simulated mission helps keep
our people and equipment
prepared to r~sAJonc] to situation~~~l~fd,-,,,L ~r
m a j o r d i s a s t e r, s u t ' b ~ a
hurricane or flood," said Captain Knapper.
The recent exercise Captain
Knapper speaks of featured
more than 150 participants
from 23 Louisiana Wing squadrons, consisting of pilots, radio operators and ground rescue teams. At least four times
a year, under the guidance of
U.S. Air Force observers,
Louisiana Wing conducts
exercises to keep its people
and techniques as 'sharp' as
possible.
Immediately after checking

in for the exercise, no time
was lost in assigning 'targets'
for flight crews and ground
teams. An imaginary scenario
was presented each day to a
mission coordinator and all
available resources were gathered for the mission.
Targets were comprised of
'mock-ups' of downed aircraft,
lost hunters, lost children, lost
fishermen, and even a simu'damaged' barge loaded-with
chlorine.
Assigned exercise search
areas covered more than 2,600
square miles of forests, farmlands, swamps and the Gulf of
Mexico.
While aircraft and assigned
aircrews were searching, each
was in constant radio communication with ground teams
and when a 'target' was found,
aircrews directed ground
teams to the location.
At the 'target' scene, ground
crews performed first aid on
simulated victims and relayed,

Louisiana units respond
NEW ORLEANS -- Members of Billy Mitchell Senior
Squadron and Northshore
Composite Squadron, Louisiana Wing, were called by
Mission Coordinator, Lt. Col.
Jay Marlbrough, at 4:30 a.m.,
recently. The reason was to
begin searching for a Cessna
172 that dropped offradar after radioing air traffic controllers thatthey were, out of
fuel and going down."
Two ground teams immedi:
ately set out to the aircrafts
last known position, while five
Civil Air Patrol aircra/t and
crews stood by waiting for
heavy fog to clear so they could
join the search.
The pilot of the missing
aircrai~ called local police four
hours later from a house trailer
and notified them that he and
his passenger had received

only minor injuries. The two
had reportedly been thrown
from the aircraft which
crashed, nose down, in a
thickly wooded area.
Civil Air Patrol ground
teams arrived soon afterward
to turn offthe aircraR's Emergency Locator Transmitter.
Once again, according to 1st
Lt~ Jerry Freyder, Billy Mitchell Senior Squadron public
affairs officer, training and
readiness of Civil Air Patrol
volunteers resulted in fast,
efficient mobilization of resources to aid in the rescue of
people in distress.
The presence of Civil Air
Patrol at the crash site was so
prominent, according to Lieutenant Freyder, that one TV
reporter on scene asked, "Is
there anyone else hero besides
the Civil Air Patrol?"

via radio, necessary information to law enforcement and
other emergency service agencies for further action.
In all, 18 aircraft were used
during the two-day exercise,
flying a total of 33 sorties.
A] so, there were 52 registered
pilots; 40 ground vehicles; and
seven ground teams, comprised of one senior member
as 'instructor,' plus five cai~9 per team.
~C~pon completion, Air Force
observers congratulated participants on their professionalism and extended extra
praise to Col. Wallace Ansardi,
Louisiana Wing commander.
"Even though we are all
volunteers," said Captain
Knapper, "we feel our professional training makes the
probability of locating a missing person high. That's why
we train."
