As your new Southeast Region Commander, I would like to outline my philosophy in three important

areas.

First, in the area of safety, I believe a culture change is required to improve our safetyperformance. Prior to retirement, I worked in a heavy industrial environment. Twenty years ago,

they experienced a serious injury frequency that was consistent with that type of industry. A new

CEO came on board who insisted on a significant emphasis on improvement of safety performance.

In other words, he insisted on a cultural change for that type of industry. Today, they perform at aserious injury frequency rate of about 10% of that of twenty years ago. I believe it is our responsi-

bility to send our members home from any CAP activity in as good a health condition as they re-

ported to the activity. I do not accept the premise that some accidents will happen regardless of

what is done. There is no acceptable reason in my mind for any accident to be acceptable.

Second, we must be in a constant state of readiness to react to any type of emergency, be

it a missing aircraft, a natural disaster or a homeland security event. If you are not working toward

developing a partnership with your state Emergency Management Organization (EMA) and your localEMA organizations, you should start those efforts now. Find out their schedule for exercises and

offer to participate and demonstrate the capabilities of CAP. We cannot be prepared to adequately

serve if we train and exercise in a vacuum. We will not work alone when the major disaster occurs.We must train with the agencies that we will be expected to work with. We must work toward be-

coming partners with the state and local EMA organizations and sell them on the capabilities that

CAP can bring to the situation.

Third, we, as CAP officers must provide the proper environment and leadership to developthe leadership capabilities of our cadets. The cadets are the future of CAP. If CAP is to survive as a

viable organization, we must ensure the proper leadership development of our cadets. As CAP offi-

cers, offer to serve on encampment staff, fly cadet orientation flights, assist in the provision oftransportation and a host of other activities that will support the cadet program, even if you are not

a direct part of the cadet program.

I look forward to serving as your Southeast Region Commander and solicit your sugges-tions. Southeast Region is the largest region in CAP. With your support and your continued dedica-

tion, Southeast Region can also be the best region in CAP.

Thank you for all that you do in support of your local communities, your state and your nation.

Col James M. Rushing,

Southeast Region Commander

TNCAP 07 Multi-State Earthquake SAR/DR Exercise

More than 50 Civil Air Patrol members from five states are using the Henry County Airport as their base of operations during a five-day earthquakedrill taking place this week. The Tennessee Catastrophic Event 07 exercise gives emergency agencies a chance to practice how theyll respond to thelikely event of a major earthquake in the southeastern United States. The way we say it, its not if it happens, its when it happens, said Col JamesRushing, the CAPs southeastern region commander, who spoke about the exercise Wednesday morning.

Rushing said the premise of the exercise was that a 7.7-magnitude earthquake took place at 8 a.m. Tuesday along the New Madrid fault. Rushing andCol Barry Melton, the Tennessee Wing commander, were supervising operations from the Henry County Airport. A total of 57 CAP members startedgathering Monday at the Henry County CAP Composite Squadrons headquarters, including about 10 adult and cadet members of the local squadron,along with four Cessna 182 aircraft.

Captain Mike Newman, acting commander of the local squadron, said his group is in a supporting role, making sure everyone is fed and housed. Thesquadron is also supplying the ground team for the exercise. During the drill, the CAP is charged with making aerial inspections of roads and bridgesdamaged during the quake. The planes, equipped with a three-person crew including a pilot, scanner and an observer, take digital photos of the struc-tures and e-mail them to the emergency operations center.

Although the pictures wont show actual damage, theyll be valuable tools in the event of a real earthquake. In the event of actual damage, theyve gota good picture of what it looked like before the damage occurred, and they can make the comparison, Rushing said. (Tuesday) we flew approximatelysix actual reconnaissance flights, Including all the ferry flights to get all the equipment in, weve flown approximately thirty sorties as of last night. Atotal of seven aircraft were expected to operate from Henry County during the week. Those taking part in the exercise were hampered by a mockthree-hour loss of cell phone, land-line phone, and Internet capability immediately after the earthquake.

The CAP members based in Paris used a satellite phone to communicate with Tennessee Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Nashville. Iwas told if they got a cell phone call from this area (at TEMA) in Nashville, and they could identify it as such, they were told to hang up on them, Meltonlaughed. In addition to the aerial missions, Melton said CAP cadets were conducting ground searches simulating downed aircraft using aircraft bea-cons. Its a job CAP members are called on to do any time an aircraft radio beacon goes offwhich can happen simply by an aircraft landing too hard.Henry Countys emergency management agency staged a briefing about the weeks activities at its Cedar Street headquarters Tuesday morning.

In addition to assisting with the TNCAT drill, the U.S. Air Force will be evaluating the Tennessee wing on its search and rescue capabilities starting to-

day. The evaluation is expected to end Saturday, with CAP members traveling home on Sunday.By Glenn Tanner, Staff Writer, Paris Post

Southeast Region Chaplains College Meet At Fort Benning, GA

Southeast Region CAP Chaplains got a good "taste" of Army life this year at Fort Benning, GA. A total of 35 Chaplains, 1 Moral

Leadership Officer and 3 others from SER totaled 39 for the college. National Chief of Chaplains, Colonel Charles Sharp and National Dep-uty Chief of Chaplains, Lt Col Ralph Rivers, and Lt Col James Rushing who represented Southeast Region were present for the entire

event.

Although unable to attend, Chaplain Lt Col Errol Simmons was recognized as Southeast Region Chaplain Of The Year as well as

National Chaplain Of The Year (quite an honor for SER). Chaplain Lt Col Daniel Hyde was recognized as he retired as Alabama Wing Chap-

lain after years of faithful service. Chaplain Lt Col Dick Stiliha completed his sixth year as Director of the Chaplain's College and was pre-sented a plaque for his dedicated leadership. Chaplain Major Jim Howell will become the new College Director.

The cadets from the Columbus Composite Squadron participated in a demonstration led by Chaplain Sharp on how Moral Lead-ership lessons are to be conducted. The Columbus cadets also served as Color Guard for the Banquet on Wednesday night. The 36 Chap-

lains and MLO were presented a certificate for completing the Pastoral Crisis Counseling course. Chaplains were present from the Ala-

bama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee Wings. There was a very cordial, cooperative, and open spirit at Fort Benning.

The SERCSSC Planning Team will meet in late June in Lake City, FL. to evaluate 2007 and begin making plans for 2008.Ch, Lt Col Oscar T. Cope

Summertime Safety Tips from the NFPA

Page 4

Barbecue safetyBeware when you barbecue. In 1999 alone, gas and charcoal grills caused 1,500 structure fires and 4,200 outdoor fires in

or on home properties, resulting in a combined direct property loss of $29.8 million, according to NFPA. When using barbecue grills on decks or patios, be sure to leave sufficient space from siding and eaves. Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use. Keep children and pets far away from grills. With charcoal grills, only use charcoal starter fluids designed for barbecue grills and do not add fluid after coals have been lit. With gas grills, be sure that the hose connection is tight and check hoses carefully for leaks. Applying soapy water to the hoses will

easily and safely reveal any leaks. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and have the grill repaired by a professional, if necessary.

Water safetyExtra caution should be used when around water, for children and adults.

Only swim in approved areas. Always supervise children near water at all times and make sure that children learn to swim. Check the depth of the water with a lifeguard before jumping in. Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD (personal floatation device) when boating, jet-skiing, tubing or water-skiing. Air-

filled swimming aids, like water wings or inner tubes, are not substitutes for approved PFDs. An adult

should always supervise children using these devices. Be sure to extinguish all smoking materials and shut down motors, fans and heating devices before fuel-

ing a boat. In case of a spill, wipe up fuel immediately and check the bilge for fuel leakage and odors. Afterfueling and before starting the boat's motor, ventilate with the blower for at least four minutes

FireworksFireworks lead to thousands of injuries requiring emergency room treatment, according to NFPA.These dazzling, but dangerous devices can burn up to 1200 F and can cause burns, lacerations,amputations and blindness. Stay safe by always leaving fireworks to professionals.

Stay back at least 500 feet from professional fireworks displays. Treat all fireworks, whether legal or illegal for consumers, as suitable only for use by trained professionals. If you find fireworks, do not touch them but instead direct authorities to them. Leave any area where amateurs are using fireworks.

Camping Safety Tips

Always use a flame retardant tent and set up camp far away from the campfire. Only use flashlights or battery-powered lanterns inside the tent or any other closed space, not liquid-filled heaters or lanterns. Always build your campfire down wind away from your tent. Clear all vegetation and dig a pit surrounded by rocks before building

your campfire. Store liquid fire starter (not gasoline) away from your tent and campfire and only use dry kindling to freshen a campfire. Always put out a campfire when going to sleep or leaving the campsite. To extinguish the fire, cover with dirt or pour water over it

Alabama Wing Holds National Check Pilot Standardization Course

Captain Donnie Todd, Alabama Wing Stan/Eval Officer, hosted an outstanding program on May 5 and 6 in Pell City Alabama. Senior member

Check Pilots from Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi attended ground training on Saturday and flight checks on Sunday. In attendance also

were National Safety Officer, Col Tilton, Alabama Wing Vice Commander LtCol Boswell, Southeast Region DO, Maj Mike Mitchell and SER DOVLtCol Brown.

Attendance at a Standardization Course is required everyfour years for all check pilots (including Mission and Form 5

check pilots) to ensure continued high standards from our

check pilot group. Ground school topics covered included acomprehensive review of CAPR 60-1, areas of special empha-

sis during check rides, safety and medical issues. Captain

Todd was capably assisted by other Alabama staff members

with special assistance from Captain Chris Iddins.

Despite some early weather problems, check rides wereconducted on Sunday with Mission check pilot check rideoversight by LtCol Jean Spruill, Alabama Chief Mission Check

Pilot. Captain Todd and his staff are commended for present-

ing an excellent program.

Georgia WingPeachtree Squadron, Leadership Like Father, Like Son

Every now and then, the stars align just right and something special happens. Recently, the stars aligned in just that sort of way for two fathers andsons in the Peachtree City-Falcon Field Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol.

After serving as Squadron Commander and Group Commander, Lt Col Vince Murray returned to the squadron last August to take over as the DeputyCommander for Cadets. Lt Col Greg Clasen assumed command of the squadron just weeks ago, becoming Lt Col Murrays immediate boss. When theexisting Cadet Commander decided to step down at the end of May, the squadrons two highest ranking cadets, Cadet Drew Clasen and Cadet Christo-pher Murray were the only ones to apply for the position.

A board of three officers met to review each cadets personnel records and accomplish-ments in the program and interview each cadet for the position. Review Board ChairmanLt Col Brent Bracewell noted that, [The decision] was extremely close. Ultimately, itcame down to time-in-grade since everything else was so close. Using that criteria asa tie-breaker, the board selected Cadet Drew Clasen to be the next Cadet Commanderand Cadet Christopher Murray to be Cadet Deputy Commander. Thus, the cadets wereplaced in the same respective cadet leadership positions as those held by their fathersin the squadron. This is not only a wonderful opportunity for both fathers and sons, butis also extremely rare even in the all-volunteer Civil Air Patrol.

The Peachtree City-Falcon Field Composite Squadron is one of the Georgia Wings pre-mier CAP squadrons, having won the Squadron of Merit Award for the most outstandingsquadron with a cadet program for 4 of the last 5 years. More information about thesquadron can be found at http://gawg.cap.gov/GA116/.

Florida Wing Suwannee Valley Composite Squadron

On Saturday, May 5th, cadets from the Suwannee Valley Composite Squadron visited the VA hospital in Lake City, Florida. This was an idea by one of thecadets parents who also happens to be the Moral Leadership Officer. The idea was to have the cadets see and talk to veterans who have given much

to this country and perhaps to take something back with them.Saturday morning five cadets and a friend of one of the cadets were escorted around the hospital for several hours. They were able to give goodiebags to the vets at the hospital. The visit was appreciated by the patients, and a number of them took the time to talk with the cadets. It was an inter-esting experience and several specific ones come to mind.

One cadet, who is interested in music, was visiting a patient when she noticed a trumpet laying on the stand beside the bed. Obviously, that brought upsome questions. It turned out that the veteran had played no only in the army band, but also knew one of the all-time great musicians, Louis Armstrongon a first name basis. A spirited discussion ensued as the two musi-cians conversed.

Another cadet was able to talk with someone who had survived theBataan Death March. A very sobering tale of how one man watched hisfriends die right beside him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But the most telling moment of all came unexpectedly. Each cadet madeit a point to thank the veterans for their service to their country One,in the hospital with the possibility that he might not go home, said to thecadets that no one had ever thanked him for his service. At that pointthere were a number of moist eyes in the room.

Once the visit was over, the cadets had pizza on the VA hospital groundsand made plans to visit again. Our thanks go out to our veterans and tothe VA personnel who made this happen.

Florida Wing Veterans Honor Civil Air Patrol Cadet Achievements

Veterans recognized Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Cadets from the Boca Raton Composite Squadron for their achievements at a recent award cere-mony held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars facilities at Veterans Memorial Park. The ceremony was opened with the National Anthem sung by C/SMSgt

Matthew Van Pelt, a junior from West Boca High School and a member of the schools National Grand Championship chorus. Retired Air Force SMSgt JoeRoberts presented this 17-year-old teen with the Air Force Sergeants Associations NCO Cadet of the Year Award along with a U.S. Savings Bond.

The Boca squadron Commander Major Robert Crowling expressed his pride in being able to present five cadets with Civil Air Patrol MilestoneAwards. Cadet Michael Lima earned the Billy Mitchell Award promoting him to the officer rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Cadets Judah Brown, John Clark, GabrielGuimaraes and Zachary Weinbaum all earned the Wright Brothers Award earning the NCO rank of Staff Sergeant. Various veterans groups recognizedthese fine young men. C/SSgt Weinbaum was the recipient of the prestigious Cadet of the Year Award from the Air Force Association and the Silver Es-prit de Corps Award from the Marine Corps League. Commandant Cliff Handerhand and Jr. Vice-Commandant Joe Motes also presented two other EspritDe Corps Awards; Gold to C/2d Lt Lima and Bronze to C/SSgt Brown. C/SSgt Clark was presented his 2-year CAP service ribbon and received recogni-tion from Disable American Veterans Commander Robert Kuntz. The DAV thanked Clark and the squadrons Cadet Color Guard for carrying their flags atVeterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies. Commander Kuntz was visible moved when he said without these young people performing this service; theDAV wouldnt be represented at these events.

Promotions were given to other squadron members as well. C/CMSgt Brandon Thomas earned his Armstrong Achievement and Cadets JoshuaKlein and Saunda Crowling were promoted to Senior Airmen.

The highlight of the evening was a trip back in time to when CAP was first created 65 years ago. Colonel S. Buddy Harris brought us back to1941 when he was WWII US CAP sub chaser, flying coastal patrols protecting the home front during World War II from Nazi U-boats. Complete with visualaid of primitive fuel gauge, a piece of cork with a small wire attached, he held the audience spellbound withhis recollection of those harrowing flights. The CAP sub chasers located 173 submarines, dived on 57,dropped 82 bombs and sank 2 subs.

The event concluded with a Cadet Change of Command Ceremony. Outgoing Cadet Commander Major

Christina Zarrilli (photo to right) was recognized earlier in the evening by the Sons of American Revolutions repre-sentative Joe Motes with their Good Citizenship Award and Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander Barry Goldin forbeing the Voice of Democracys 1st Place Winner for Post 10556 & District 3. A much in demand speaker, the 15-year-old FAU High School sophomore received further recognition for inspiring others with her 3500 hours ofcommunity service. Incoming Cadet Commander Second Lieutenant Michael Lima, hopes to attend the Air ForceAcademy upon graduation next year from Calvary Christian High School. Addressing the troop, C/2d Lt Lima con-cluded, I look forward to a great year for the squadron and each of you. Thank you for allowing me this wonderfulopportunity to serve you, our community, state and nation.

Southeast Region Member of the Month/Quarter Recognitions

Southeast Region ReCAP July - August 2007

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Researchers dont know exactly what causes post- traumatic stress disorder but think its probably caused by a complex mix of biology andgenetics, your life experiences, your temperament, and changes in the chemicals in your brain.

Its normal to have a wide range of feelings and emotions after a traumatic event. Usually people have a brief period of difficulty adjusting andcoping, but given time and having healthy coping methods such as a supportive family and friends, these traumatic reactions usually get better on theirown. If they do not get better after a month or so and you continue to experience negative emotions such as feelings of shame or guilt, flashbacks reliv-ing the traumatic event, trouble sleeping, upsetting dreams, irritability and anger, poor relationships, and not enjoying life anymore then it is important totalk to your health care professional to get treatment to help prevent PTSD from getting worse.

Treatment of PTSD may include both medications and psychotherapy. Healing does not occur overnight, it takes time. It is also important tofollow your health care professionals instructions. During this time it may also be advisable to use some coping methods such as: Breaking the Cycle,when you feel anxious, take a brisk walk or delve into a hobby to refocus. Take care of yourself, get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, exercise and taketime to relax. Avoid caffeine and nicotine. Consider a support group; ask your health care professional for help finding one.

Stay connected with supportive and caring family, friends, faith leaders or others. Sharing time together with loved ones can offer healing andcomfort. Civil Air Patrol provides a team of members who are trained in Critical Incident Stress Management. This is a valuable tool so dont be hesitantto use it. Be aware, take care,
