Happy New Year NC Wing !!
NC Wing had an outstanding year in 2007. I am looking forward to an even better year during 2008. My resolutions for 2008 are to you, NC Wing.
I Resolve to make certain our cadet orientation flights are getting accomplished throughout the Wing. All of our cadets, no matter what squadron they belong to, deserve fulfillment of the promises CAP made. I challenge all our Cadet Orientation qualified pilots to answer the call and make this program work. I am confident Captain Tim Tessin will provide the guidance and leadership to make it happen. I know our Leaders in the cadet program will step forward and do whatever it takes.
I Resolve to do my part to prepare this Wing for the upcoming SAV and subsequent CI in 2008. We already know you are the best. Now is the time to dot the eyes, cross the tees, and let everybody else know just how good you are. Prepare well and take the SAV and CI seriously and we will do well. This is an open book test. There is absolutely no reason why we cannot score very high. Listen to Lt Col Douglass and he will guide you through the confusion of regulations and paperwork.
I Resolve to support our three excellent Group Commanders. They each want the very best for their Groups and are working together with Lt Col Surratt to support each other. Listen to them. Head their advice and follow their leadership. Each Group continues to show improvement, and each Group continues to contribute greatly to this Wing. Each Group is only as strong as the weakest squadron, and this Wing is only as strong as the weakest Group.
I Resolve to make this the year we reach our full potential in ES training. We have the resources to do the job. We have the talent to do the job. All we need now is the conviction and the will to reach for that next higher level. We need to finally reach our goal of proving we can sustain a concerted SAR/DR effort for two weeks or more without a missed beat. The NC CC&PS and the Air Force continue to show us great support and we must not let them down. Lt Col Andy Wiggs and Lt Col Jeff Willis will continue to lay out even greater challenges for our ES crews. I will be at these SAREX exercises, will you?
I Resolve to make this the best year for AE in NC Wing. We have the interest. We have the resources. Now we just need to add our combined energies into making this program a high priority. The fun is contagious. Spread it around.
I Resolve to continue to represent your interests at the Region and National level. Your region Commander and National Commander continue to deal with pressing issues that affect each of us. 2008 promises to be another year of change, and a year of more stability. I will take the time to study the issues hard and help our National Board make the tough decisions ahead.
I am committed to serving this Wing one more year, and I will not let my last year of service be anything but the best I have to offer. I know each of you will do the same.
Happy 2008 and please be SAFE in all you do.
Larry J. Ragland, Col , CAP
NC Wing Commander
