Law Enforcement, N.C. Air NationalGuard, and of course, the US Air

Force.

Tomorrow's Weather Forecast:

HOT!

Eight things not to dowhen reportingin:1. Chewing gum when reporting

in.....will not end well.

2. Not standing at attention when

reporting.....expect some facetime with the reporting officer.

3. Saying the wrong title when

addressing the officer... A sir isnot a sergeant. Nor are they a

ma'am.

4. Dropping the salute before thereporting officer has dropped

theirs.....will most definitely

provoke a disproportionate

response.5. Drinking from the camelback

while reporting....will

probably cause a disturbancein the Force.

6. Being out of uniform while

reporting.....will probablypromote strange facial

gestures from the reporting

officer.7. Saying no, when asked if they

have their CAPF 60, or CAP

ID card......will probably cause

a majordisturbance in theForce.

8. Providing only a blank stare

when next in

reporting.......well even R. L

Ermy would blush afterwar

A note from the Commander, Maj.

Linwood Dabney -

All personnel should be in position

move to the next site/location beforthe scheduled time so the schedulecan be maintained.

Chow Time!

Feeding 140 people three meals a dis an awesome challenge. We want

What is the most devilish invention

ever created by the military? Is it theland mine? No. Is it the .50 cal

machine gun? No. Is it the atomic

bomb? No. It's.........................thefoot pump soap hand washer thingy..

From Chaplain Barwick -This particular story just made me

laugh. Every time I think about it, thevision of that poor cat just amuses me.Hope the story leaves a bright spot in

your day. Whoever said the Creator

doesn't have a sense of humor?

Dwight Nelson recently told a true

story about the pastor of his church.

He had a kitten that climbed up a treein his backyard, and then was afraid

to come down. The pastor coaxed,

offered warm milk, etc. The kittywould not come down. The tree was

not sturdy enough to climb., so the

pastor decided that if he tied a rope to

his car and drove away so that the treebent down, he could then reach up

and get the kitten. He did! All the

while, checking his progressfrequently, then figured if he went just

a little bit further, the tree would be

bent sufficiently for him to reach thekitten. But as me moved a little

further forward, the rope broke. Thetree went boing! and the kitten

instantly sailed through the air out

of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all

over the neighborhood asking peopleif they'd seen a little kitten. No.

Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he

prayed, Lord, I just commit thiskitten to your keeping. and went on

about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocerystore, and met one of his church

members. He happened to look into

her shopping cart and was amazed tosee cat food. Now, this woman was a

cat hater and everyone knew it, so he

asked her, Why are you buying catfood when you hate cats so much?

She replied, You won't believe this,

and told him how her little girl hadbeen begging her for a cat, but she

kept refusing. Then a few days before,

the child begged again, so the Momfinally

told her little girl, Well, if God gives

you a cat, I'll let you keep it. (Canyou see where this is heading?)

She told the pastor, I watched mychild go out in the yard, get on her

knees, and ask God for a cat. And

really, Pastor, you won't believe this,

but I saw it with my own eyes. Akitten suddenly came flying out of the

blue sky, with his paws outspread, and

landed right in front of her.

Never underestimate the Power of

God and His unique sense of humo

From Chaplain Barwick:Having a bad day?

The average cost of rehabilitating aseal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill inAlaska was

$80,000. At a special ceremony, twoof the most expensively savedanimals were being released back intothe wild, amid cheers and applausefrom onlookers. A minute later, infull view, a killer whale at themboth.Still Think You are Having a bad

day?

A woman came home to find herhusband in the kitchen shaking

frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy,with some kind of wire running fromhis waist towards the electric kettle.Intending to jolt him away from thedeadly current, she whacked him witha handy plank of wood, breaking hisarm in two places. Up to thatmoment, he had been happilylistening to his Sony Walkman.STILL Think You Are Having a bad

day?

Two animal rights protestors wereprotesting at the cruelty of sendingpigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn,Germany. Suddenly, all two thousandpigs broke loose and escaped througha broken fence, stampeding madly.The two hopeless protestors weretrampled to death.What? STILL Having a bad day?

Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn'tpay enough postage on a letter bomb.It came back with return to senderstamped on it. Forgetting it was thebomb, he opened it and was blown tobits.There now, feeling better?

The incontrovertible proof MsGaddy did indeed rappel off not justthe lower tower, but the upper level aswell:

Great Job Ms. Gaddy!!!

The North Carolina WingEncampment is enormously gratefulto the Bureau of Federal Prisons andRandy Jones and his staff with puttingover 100 cadets through an awesomerappelling and obstacle course

experience.

The North Carolina WingEncampment is very grateful to theNorth Carolina Alcohol LawEnforcement Agency. Agents MikeKlingenschmidt, Robert Huneycutt,and Keith Quick, have been providingan excellent firearms training

experience. Cadets and Seniors hahad the opportunity to learn about afire Kimber .45 Caliber pistols, SigSauer 552s, and AR-15 semi-automatic rifles. Even those who ha

a challenge handling the Kimber .4pistols stuck with it and finished outheir magazines.

Even our CAP-USAF Commander,Col Kevin Hubbard got in on theaction, firing both the Sig 552 andKimber .45:

Camp Butner has a long anddistinguished history here in North

Carolina. There are a number of

historical pieces of military hardwa

scattered around the campus.

The M113 Armed Personnel Carri(APC), increased the mobility of

infantry. It provided mobile armor

protection for 11 soldiers in fullcombat gear and the driver and trac

commander as they moved across t

battlefield. The vehicle wasamphibious and capable of being ai

dropped, allowing it to be used in a

wide range of combat situations. Th

first upgrade to the original M113, A1 was a switch from a gasoline to

diesel engine, reducing the risk of

catastrophic explosions.

SAFETY NOTE: SituationalAwareness the ability to be awareone's situation and know about any

threats to one's person. This can

include typical everyday hazards asmuch as combat threats. Always b

aware of: trip hazards, animal

hazards, plant hazards, traffic hazaretc. Not evaluating a simple thing l

the ground condition before you ste

can end very badly, whether it be a

simple tree root (trip hazard).........ocliff.

The Cessna 182's Office Environment

To celebrate the halfway point of theweek, we had our mid-week cookout.

Everyone, basics and staff alike,changed into civvies and rode to thechow area, as though for any other.dinner. What the basics didn't know,

however, was that this was a threehour long picnic, complete with asoccer game and a water fight.Dinner was a choice of fresh-off-the-grill hamburgers and hot dogs,

provided by Chief Keith Hobgoodand Butner Public Safety, which wasa nice change from all the MREs!

The picnic was a chance for bothcadets and seniors to relax and take abreak from all the hard work, andit was the perfect way to celebrate themiddle of the week. Next everyonewill have to get back into the swing ofthings, though, and the competitionfor Honor Flight of the week slowlybecomes more intense...

The 155mm howitzer is not anAmerican invention....it's of Frenchorigin. WhoodaThunkit!

The 155mm gun was borrowed fromthe French during World War I, andwas originally designated the M1918GPF (Grande Puissance Filloux). In1940, a modernization program wasstarted with over 3,000 guns. They

received a new carriage withpneumatic tires, and were re-designated 155mm gun, M2. The Mwas the backbone of heavy artilleryWorld War II. The M2 fired a 95

pound projectile up to 26,000 yardsThis piece was modernized at the cof $50,000. The 155 was nicknam'Long Tom' due to it's long barrel.

According to Maj. Dabney,Encampment Commander, we willhave a very special guest inattendance during the Pass-In-Revion Wednesday. More informationwill be forthcoming on this special

guest.

First Aid / CPR Success!According to Major Ryan, the FirstAid and CPR course produced a totof 74 first time certifications, and atotal of 10 re-certifying for a grandtotal of 84 personnel receivingAmerican Heart Association cards.

INJURIES The week is growing

long and everyone is getting tired.

This makes it IMPORTANTto remainVigilant. Pay attention to what is

happening. There have been a couple

of minor injuries, and blisters are

starting to become an issue. TakeNote! If you feel a 'hot spot' starting,

STOP your activity, and address it.

ALL ground team personnel aresupposed to have Mole Skin You

know, that weird stuff you bought at

the drug store that you had no clue

what it was supposed to do. Don't leta blister become an issue. Stop and

treat before it makes you a liability to

the person you are trying to save.Ground team personnel are also

supposed to have extra pairs of socks.

USE THEM! Change socks at leastonce during the day, and more if

necessary. Foot Care is a vital aspect

of Ground SAR Operations.

Butner Public Safety sponsored apicnic for the Encampment. We are

especially grateful and the food was

awesome. Lt Col Lucy Davispresented a special plaque to Chief

M110A2 Self-Propelled Howitze

The M110A2 is a self-propelled

heavy artillery cannon with a crew

12. Designed to be part of a commofamily of weapons utilizing the sam

chassis components, the M107, and

M110 were essentially the same

vehicle mounting different barrels.This full-tracked, self-propelled

artillery weapon fires a 200-pound,

eight inch diameter projectile. Theshell leaves the muzzle at a velocity

of 2,300 feet per second, and can

travel more than eighteen miles. (F

those who remember, that muzzlevelocity is much, much faster tha

the Kimber .45 cal pistols that we

fired at the firing range. And, it

isn't much slower than the Sig A

Ar-15 rifle velocity, which was

around 3,500 feet per second.)

Ammunition includes standard high

explosives, bomblets, and high-

explosive rockets. It is found in socorps artillery units. This howitzer

system was designed to providemedium-range, general supportartillery fire. Powered by a Detroit

Diesel, it is not armored and can

travel at a top speed of between 30

and 45 miles per hour. The M110Awas built by Bowen-McLauchlin-

York of York, Pennsylvania. Widel

used in Vietnam, the Army receivedthis howitzer in 1963. There were

1,023 M110A2s in the Army

inventory in the early 1990s, prior tothe system being phased out of

service.

Teamwork........a word from ChaplainBarwick:

A loaded mini-van pulled into the

only remaining campsite. Fourchildren leaped from the vehicle and

began feverishly unloading gear and

setting up the tent. The boys rushed togather firewood, while the girls and

their mother set up the camp stove

and cooking utensils. A nearby

camper marveled to the youngster's

father, That sir, is some display ofteamwork. The father replied, I

have a system; no one goes to thebathroom until the camp is set up.

Encampment Attendance

We are still at 100% Attendance no

one has gone home. Keep up theGreat Work Everyone! Let's make

this one of the very, very few 100%

Attendance Encampments for NorthCarolina Wing!

A completely unsolicited comment:

Sir, I thought the food was going to

be worse at encampment.

Response: Well, just hang in there,

we still have till the end of the week

to meet your expectation.

Lt Col Benbow has advised the

Public Affairs section there will be aspecial presention during the colors

Sadly, one of our cadets has been

released due to a medical illness.

Austin Puppychow Porterfied went

home yesterday. He will be fine

AND, he has received full credit for

the Encampment. We wish him well,

and a hearty CONGRATULATIONS!

The Encampment Ops Temporemains high, with a very special visit

by a UH-72 Lakota, the Army's

newest helicopter from the Army

National Guard unit at Raleigh-

Durham International Airport. Our

thanks goes to 1Lt Darrell Scoggins,

and CW4 Ty Mullins for flying and

spending time with the Cadet Wing.

The Lakota flew in and landed on the

LZ at Range 4, the 1000 yard range.

Quite a few cadets salivated over

hoping to get to shoot on that rangesomeday. While at the range waiting

for the Lakota to arrive, the Cadet

Wing took the opportunity to get

some quality drill time in.

SAFETYremains a high priority with

Encampment Staff. Last night at

approximately 2330, the advanced

ground team flight was pulled out of

the field due to an imminent

thunderstorm threat. Remember! If

you can hear thunder, then you can be

struck by lightning. Lightning is the

number one environmental killer in

the United States.

CONGRATULATIONS!According

Maj Merlin Butch Phillips, 74

cadets successfully completed their

ACUT Communications Course.

Captain Fred Draper and c/CMSgt

Crawford assisted in teaching.

While at the Range 4 LZ, the group

encampment photo was taken. The

photos taken turned out well.

A copy has been posted to the

Facebook page, and an additional

copy sent out as a .pdf on the CAPN

email list. A full, uncropped copy

will be sent out to all participants th

we have email addresses for. IF yo

do not ever receive a copy, please

email Maj. Wiggs or the PAO, Lt CDonald Beckett for a copy.

Our wonderful friends with the N.C

National Guard continue to work v

hard to keep us fed. Please Thank

Them as you go through the line
