To Visit SEA
In Summer

A I R F O R C E A C A D E M Y, C o l o .
(AFNS) -- "Operation Third Lieutenant," an Air Force Academy
cadet ﬁeld study program will expand its ninth annual summer
schedule to include experience at
operational Air Force bases in
Southeast Asia. Approximately 60
of the 600 Air Force Academy cadets participating will travel to
bases in Vietnam and Thailand to
understudy Air Force junior ofﬁcers at work.
The program, ~hich is divided
into three sessions, is designed to
give the future Air Force ofﬁcers
an opportunity to spend three weeks
working at an operational site. Cadets assigned to the ﬁrst session
arrived at their :luty sections early
this month, while the remainder
wilt report on July 1 or July 22.
Air Force installations around
the globe will be visited by the
cadets in their junior year at the
A c a d e m y. I n c l u d e d i n t h e l i s t o f
51 Air Force bases to be visited
are those in Puerto Rico and the
Canal Zone.

than the effort he spends to increase his knowledge of basic
weather principles and to learn to interpret and use the products
of the weather service.
Be Speciﬁc When Requesting a Brieﬁng
When you request a weather brieﬁng, whether face-to-face
or by telephone, you greatly assist the briefer and get faster
service by telling him the following:
1. That you are a pilot. (Many requests for weather information are not related to aviation. Also airline passengers often
inquire about ﬂying weather.
2 . Yo u r a i r c r a f t n u m b e r a n d y o u r n a m e ( f o r t h e r e c o r d ) .
3. The type of aircraft you are planning to ﬂy. (Light single
engine, high performance multi-engine and jets all present different brieﬁng problems).
4. Your destination.
5. Your estimated departure time and your time en route.
6. Whether or not you can go IFR.
Complete Weather Brieﬁng
If a telephone or face-to-face brieﬁng is considered necessary and you have given the information listed above, the briefing will be incomplete unless it contains all of the following
information:
1. Weather synopsis (positions of lows, fronts, ridges, etc.).
2. Current weather conditions.
3. Forecast weather conditions.
~ 4. Alternate routes (if necessary).
5. Hazardous weather.
6. Forecast winds aloft.
If you don't get all of this information, ask for it. However,
you very likely will get a complete brieﬁng because the above
items are part of the briefer's schedule. It will help if you let
him ﬁnish his 'presentation before asking questions.
Alternate Course
The importance of having an alternate course in mind, in
the event unsuitable weather develops, can hardly be overemphasized.
Aid Fellow Pilot
Vast areas of air space exist which are not sampled by either
surface or upper air observations, and in areas where observations are made, there are no instruments available for observing
turbulence and icing other than airborne aircraft.
Serve your fellow pilots by observing and reporting cloud
bases and tops, turbulence, icing, areas of instrument weather,
and other information signiﬁcant to ﬂying. These reports are of
value to forecasters, briefers and pilots whether they verify the
forecast or differ signiﬁcantly from it.
Pilots should report in-ﬂight weather to nearest FSSI

SEA and Civil Air Patrol
Just as it has touched Americans everywhere, the situation in Southeast Asia has touched Civil Air Patrol. The Air
Force's need in Vietnam has now reached into the ranks of
o f ﬁ c e r s a s s i g n e d t o C A P - U S A F.
Now as always, the combat mission of the Air Force
.. and the activities which support this.., come ﬁrst.
Under USAF's Personnel Ihiority Designator system, a
unit's actual manning depends on its relationship to the
Air Force's combat mission.
This means that the more remote a unit is from combat
or combat support, the lower its priority for personnel manning. Since Civil Air Patrol activities, although of marked importance to the nation,
have only a delayed impact on the Air
Force's commitment in Southeast A+sia, CAP
ranks close to the bottom of the priority
list.
While CAP-USAF is authorized 89 ofﬂ e e r s o f l i e u t e n a n t c o l o n e l r a n k o r l o w e r,
Civil Air Patrol now faces a period of lessened support from USAF insofar as ofﬁcer
manning of these slots is concerned. USAF
WILCOX , is not able to supply the full 89 at this time
due to higher priorities elsewhere and the exigencies of hostilities in Vietnam.
Let me hasten to assure you that the Air Force has

Vietnam Highlights
Vietnam Returnee Visits
MILWAUKEE, Wis.--Milwaukee Comp. Sq. members welcomed
home a former member recently and were treated to a two hour briefing on the Vietnam scene by 1st Lt. David J. Siefert.
Lieutenant Siefert, a U.S. Army ofﬁcer, served as a supply ofﬁcer
for the 53d General Support Group based near the Mekong Delta in
southern Vietnam.
During the visit Lieutenant
Siefert displayed relics of the war
including a Vietcong uniform, ﬂags
and leaﬂets that were dropped
over North Vietnam. Squadron
cadets examined the material and
posed questions to the veteran
Army ofﬁcer.
He explained the way the Vietnamese people live, their occupations, diet and education programs.
Lieutenant Siefert has been
recommended for the Bronze Star
and is expected to be promoted
to captain shortly.

Congratulations
Extended to WAF
WASHINGTON, D.C.--"On the occasion of the 2Oth Anniversary
of the establishment of Women in the Air Force, I join with you in
commemorating the achievements and contributions of WAF to the
United States Air Force and to the nation.
"The celebration of an anniversary is a time to reﬂect on the past.
Our past is one in which we can all take pride. However, no matter
how pleasant the remembrance of things past, an anniversary is also
a time to look to the future. And today, the future of Women in the
Air Force is particularly bright.
"In this 20th year, the efforts of many have culminated in the
creation of expanding opportunities for Women in the Air Force to
contribute to the extent of their individual capabilities both at home
and overseas.
"With expanding opportunities come increasing challenges and
responsibilities. I am conﬁdent we will meet them. To all I send my
best wishes for continued success."

Patriotic Plans Get Push

L E H I G H VA L L E Y, P a . - - Tw o
nationwide patriotic programs received impetus here as local Civil
Air Patrol members took part in
"Operation Close Ranks," launched by Freedoms Foundation at
Valley Forge, and "Operation
CAPitol Hill."
Sparked by former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's call for
a visible display of patriotism~
"Operation Close Ranks" was designed to encourage citizens to
display the American ﬂag at
homes and in places of business
and to take part in special ﬂagraising ceremonies.

"Operation CAPitol Hill" was
initiated in order to give cadets
and senior ofﬁcers in the CAP a
ﬁrst hand look at the working
methods of U.S. Congressmen and
Senators at the nation's capital,
Combining the two operations,
Congressman Fred B. Rooney of
Pennsylvania's 15th District,
played host to a group of 12 cadets and eight ofﬁcers from the
Pennsylvania Wing who ﬂew to
Washington: The Congressman arranged a tour o f government
buildings and presented each
member of the group a copy of
the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution.

projected funds through 1970
