WORDS FROM
THE TOP
Squadron Commander
Maj. Mark Wong
2011 has been an
incredible year for us!! We
conducted
49
regular
meetings, 12 Foxhunts, 7
additional weekend events,
and the cadet staff also
participated in 13 additional
training sessions. On top of
all this, we also completed
several orientation flights
and our color guard practiced
for weeks prior to the
competition in November. I
do not believe there is any
other CAP cadet squadron in
California that maintains as
busy of a calendar as we do!!
Looking ahead to
2012, we already have lots of
activities
and
training
planned. There is a Basic
Cadet School in January,
First Aid & CPR in
February, and much more!
We’re also, for the first time
ever, beginning the Drug
Demand
Reduction
Excellence
Program
or
“DDR(X)” in addition to the
Aerospace
Education
Excellence program.
Our
squadron’s
primary means of gauging
our overall success for the
year is the Quality Cadet
Unit Award. For 2012, I
believe our goal should be to
meet all nine of the criteria
to earn this award. And I
know we will do so!

Last year’s color
guard competition was good
for only having 3 or 4 weeks
to practice for it. This year
we did much better, and for
being the alternate, I say that
we did an exceptional job
this year. We did at least ten
times better this year than
last.
After being in the
competition last year, I knew
what we were supposed to be
doing. So being the alternate
this year really opened my
eyes to see what we are
capable of. We just need the
support of the squadron to
come and watch us. We can
have more than one color
guard team. So let’s get
some more people to join
color guard.

C/CMSgt Andy Goodwin (age 15)
I attended our latest
squadron FTX at the Owl
Canyon Campground this
past November 5-7. I was
very eager to go knowing
that we would be training for
Emergency Services sign
offs to allow us to begin to
hunt for ELTs (Emergency
Locator Transmitter) as well
as other search and rescue
missions.

and
foremost, the weather. The
weather was terrible but, as
Captain Saba put it, “you
aren’t going to be looking
for a crashed airplane when
it’s 70 degrees outside with
perfectly
clear
days.
Airplanes don’t just fall out
of the sky for no reason.” It
was very cold and wet but
ideal conditions for training.
I
completed
numerous sign offs to make
me very close to receiving

completion.
Throughout the weekend we
participated
in
classes
Navigator, September – December 2011
regarding first aid, radio
operations, how to use a
compass, and other ES type
classes. We also had the
opportunity to actually hunt
for practice ELT as well as
lost senior members such as
Lt. Martinez. We even had a
CAP Cessna 182 fly over
and help coordinate some of
the searches which is very
cool to see a red, white, and
blue CAP Cessna fly over at
two-hundred feet at 145
knots! I really enjoyed the
weekend, now that it’s over,
and am looking forward to
future FTX’s that include
more ES training.
Desert Fox FTX
C/CMSgt Colton Priest (age 15)
This fall, Squadron
153 was privileged enough
to go to an Emergency
Services training weekend
hosted by Capt Paul Saba. I
have met Capt Saba before
through outside events I have
attended such as the Chino
Airshow, Encampment, and
NCOS. He is one of the
biggest names in CAP
Emergency Services and is
well-known
throughout
California Wing.
Since our squadron
was looking to get more
active in the Emergency
Services side of CAP, we
thought it would be a good
idea to contact Capt Saba to
get started. We planned out
a weekend where we would
get training to become
certified to be on an ES
ground team. The weekend
was filled with classes and
activities such as Preventing
Injuries, Map and Compass
Reading, and How to Talk
on a CAP Radio. All of our
cadets
gained
valuable
knowledge through these
classes and even gained
some real life experience
through a practice mission
where we had to find a
downed pilot.
We split into groups
of seven or so and then
headed out to find first an
Emergency
Location
Transmitter (this is a signal
that is set off when an
airplane crashes). Once we
found the crash site, we
found a note saying the pilot
had left in order to find
better shelter. After a short
while, we found the pilot and
had to administer basic first
aid and then evacuate him.
After the weekend, I was
glad Squadron 153 cadets
had experienced just another
mission of CAP and I
encourage the cadets to get
out and be active in the
Emergency
Services
mission.
any sort of urban city, I still
learned how to manage the
equipment, how to read a
map,
proper
search
procedures, how to give
basic first aid, and much
more. I think my fellow
cadets and I learned many
new things that weekend.
Also, we got to try out our
knowledge
on
mock
missions that were held at
various times of day
(including night missions).
Overall, I am glad I attended
and hope to use what I
learned in the near future on
missions.

learned most everything I
know about leading and
leadership from NCOS, and I
now apply my knowledge by
teaching other cadets.
NCOS Staff Experience
C/2dLt Anistasha Wilhelm
(age 17)
NCOS (Cadet NonCommissioned
Officer
School) 2011, hosted at the
Los Alamitos Joint Forces
Page 5 of 7
Training Base, marked my
third year in attendance of
the event. Each year, I’ve
learned something new or
taken a new experience out
of it. In 2009, I was a
student. I learned what it
means to be a cadet NCO in
the
Civil
Air
Patrol.
Command
presence,
organization,
and
time
keeping were just a few of
my invaluable lessons from
that year.
In 2010, I went back
to NCOS as an Assistant
Seminar Leader, meaning it
was my job to teach, to show
a new group of CAP cadets
the in’s and out’s of valuing
an NCO position in CAP.
The students, I learned, were
not the only ones who could
take experience and valuable
lessons from these events. In
2010, I learned the value of
teaching;
I learned how
rewarding it can feel to
watch someone succeed and
to know you helped get them
there. However, for me (and
what I believe should be true
for everyone) the lessons
didn’t stop there.
This last year, as
previously stated, I went
back a third time – this time
as a Seminar Leader. This
time around, I was expected
to mentor and guide, not to
teach.
As you could
imagine, this was a rather
foreign concept to me. It
took me almost the entire
first day of the weekend
event to get it. I didn’t see
the value in it until after the
event had ended. Before
they left, all eight members
of my seminar thanked me.
One Cadet Airman
from Squadron 20, Joyce
Liu, even gave me a hug.
For what? Doing my job?
But thinking back on it, I
Navigator, September – December 2011
know it was for more than
that. A teacher can give
students information and
hope that they use it. But a
mentor will guide people to
learn and will know that
their students have the
necessary ability, not just the
knowledge, to succeed.
