Cook to return as 14 Wing CO
A famil-i a r f a c e returns to 14 Wing G r e e n -wood this summer , as Co lo -nel Bren-dan Cook takes command. Cook was in Greenwood several years ago as commanding offi cer of 405 (Long Range Patrol) Squadron. Chief of Defence Staff General Jonathan Vance announced the appointment in a recent CANFORGEN de-tailing a range of promotions, appointments and retire-ments. Cook will take the 14 Wing reins from Colonel Mike Adamson.
“It is my privilege to an-nounce” the changes, Vance said. “I wish to offer my deep-est appreciation for the ser-vice and sacrifi ces of those offi cers and their families…, and I offer my heartfelt con-gratulations and sincerest best wishes to those taking

ation resources within the Halifax Search and Rescue Region to aircraft and vessels in distress. Over the last 12 months, Cormorant Flight has conducted 13 operational
extractions from vessels within our area of operations, rescuing 17 mariners.
These types of extractions vary from being relatively benign to extremely chal-
lenging, depending on many factors. Sea state, wind strength, cloud cover, for-ward visibility, sun position, night illumination, and vessel size are all considerations
that demand attention. The combination of these con-ditions directly influence how the rescue will be con-ducted. They may allow for a relatively simple visual

transition from forward fl ight to hovering beside the vessel; or, they could demand an intensely procedural and radar-assisted “over water transition down” in low light or low visibility conditions to hover over the water, and then position to hover beside the vessel. Occasionally, con-ditions preclude continuing with the rescue if the crew is not visual with both the target vessel and the water once minimum approach limits are achieved. This ensures the safety of the helicop-ter and crew, who are then able go for fuel, wait out the weather and try again when conditions have improved rather than being exposed to
unacceptably high risk.Once the helicopter is be-
side the vessel, there are several potential ways to ex-tract someone, depending on their medical requirements and the conditions of the rescue. Using a rescue sling, a patient may be hoisted while practically attached to a search and rescue tech-nician (SAR-Tech) during a “double up.” A rescue basket may also be used, which is lowered to a SAR-Tech on the deck for the patient to sit in and be hoisted from above and guidelined from below to minimize swing and spin. A Stokes litter may be used for recovery of more serious cases, which requires the patient to be “packaged” by a SAR-Tech, usually below
deck, before they are hoisted and guidelined. The decision for the type of extraction is based primarily on the con-dition of the patient, and is made by the SAR-Tech team lead, usually in consultation with the team member and the fl ight engineer.
Given the challenge and potential risk presented by this core component of our mandate, it is critical aircrew be exposed to maritime ex-traction training opportuni-ties both routinely and on a saturation basis. The bulk of this type of training is con-ducted in close cooperation with Canadian Coast Guard vessels. February 18 to 22, three crews were on a rotat-ing schedule to practice both day and night extractions
from the CCGS Sir Wilfred Grenfell, while maintaining SAR standby for the Halifax SRR. Because operating away from our main oper-ating base is something a rescue may demand and that requires practice we don’t get during regular standby, and because winter months call for hangar space, these crews operated from the Hal-ifax International Airport for the duration of the exercise.
Crews noticed an increase in profi ciency as a direct re-sult of the saturation training: the exercise was a success. Future exercises will be con-ducted periodically, and from other operating locations within the SRR in order to continue to improve our capability.

One by one, the brave men and women who fought and triumphed in the Second World War are passing away, leaving behind a precious and enduring legacy for all Canadians to enjoy and hold dear: freedom.
Dan Hennessey had a unique opportunity a de-cade ago to sit down with 18 Lunenburg County veterans – 16 men and two women – to listen to their fascinating and often heart-wrenching stories about their experiences.
Sadly, the last of the group, Mike Ciz, died in 2018; pre-deceased by Alvin Wentzell, Frank Hammond, Doug Crow-ell, Bert Eagle, Bert Wallace, Doris Joudrey, Doug Cox, Leon Whynot, Mary Nixon, Merle Wentzell, Perry Veinot, Pierre Allaine, Ralph Hebb, Ron Mosley, Shorty Rho-denizer, Albert Scott and Len Harmes.
The one-on-one interviews with the veterans were im-mortalized in a video entitled “Time to Remember.” On the 10th anniversary of the vid-eo’s production, a screening in honour of the veterans’ lives and service will be held
at Government House in Hal-ifax March 26, at 7 p.m.
When Hennessey com-pleted the video, he launched it at the Bridgewater theatre complex, where he treated the veterans like Hollywood actors, complete with a walk down a red carpet fl anked by local Army and Sea Cadets. The Bridgewater Fire De-partment Band played back-ground music reminiscent of the wartime years.
After signing a “Time to Remember” poster, the veter-ans fi led in to one of theatres, where they were greeted by 250 guests. Following intro-ductions, the “movie stars” and guests viewed the video on the big screen.
“When I first joined the Legion, there were some Second World War veterans still around. It was almost like fi nding an old picture book and reading it from the inside out,” said Hennessey, now in his fourth year as honorary colonel of 14 Construction Engineering Squadron in Bridgewater.
Hennessey said he was amazed how many Lunenburg County veterans played a sig-nifi cant role in the D-Day in-vasion of Normandy in 1944.
“Oh, my gosh, I was among historical royalty. They all wore their medals proudly.
“Their average age 10 years ago was mid-80s, some older. I thought it would be great
if I could convince them to speak with me, given that most veterans don’t really like to talk about their wartime experiences.”
Hennessey told the Legion president what he wanted to do and asked for a list of all Legion members who served in the Second World War. He came up with 18 veterans who agreed to be interviewed.
“When the veterans arrived for the interviews, family members often accompanied them and sat off-camera lis-tening to the conversations. When we were wrapping up, the family members would say to me, ‘you know, dad (or mom) just told you that interesting story and that’s the fi rst time we have heard it,’” said Hennessey.
“Frank Hammond was the fi rst veteran I interviewed,” said Hennessey. “Frank told me he was a signalman on a landing craft transporting Canadians to Juno Beach while under enemy fi re. As they approached the assigned landing zone, they passed bodies of Canadian soldiers who never made it to the beach.”
Reverend Ron Mosley, a front-line combat chaplain
with the U.S. Army’s 106th Infantry, was wounded twice in the famous Battle of the Bulge. Pierre Allaine joined the French Resistance at 13 and served his country ad-mirably, saving many lives. Ciz, who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy and rose to the rank of commander, was involved in many naval en-gagements during the Battle of the Atlantic.
The two female veterans played very different roles in the war, but each was just as important. Doris Joudrey served with the British Land Army in rural England. She was assigned to farm work, raising cattle and growing crops essential to the Allied war effort. Mary Nixon was a radar plotter in the British Army, stationed at gun em-placements along the English coast tracking incoming Ger-man bombers.
Most of the veterans Hen-nessey interviewed were in their late teens or early twen-ties when they served.
“Their experiences left in-delible marks on their souls and, for me, there is no expi-ration date on remembering their sacrifices,” he said. “Sharing their stories is im-
portant, and that’s why I pro-duced ‘Time to Remember.’”
Known throughout the South Shore for his com-mitment to community and charitable initiatives, and his unwavering support of the Ca-nadian Armed Forces, notable accomplishments include the organization of a successful yellow ribbon campaign and a memorial to the memory of Corporal Paul Davis, a casual-ty of the Afghanistan mission. He also organized memorials to privates Rick Green and Nathan Smith, and Signalman Philip Crouse. Hennessey is also executive director of the Bridgewater and Area Chamber of Commerce and regular contributor of editorial content to the South Shore Breaker. A recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, Hennessey regularly visits local schools, youth groups and others to raise awareness of the sacri-fi ces Canada’s veterans made and continue to make today.

Action, risk: changeInternational Women’s Day 2019 at 14 Wing Green-wood was a great success. Panelists included 405 (Long Range Patrol) Squadron Honorary Colonel Heather Hemmings, 415 (Long Range Patrol and Force Devel-opment) Squadron Honorary Colonel Sandra Snow and Maura Ryan, an Atlantic Canada business leader. Guests captivated the audience with stories of their individual experiences working as women in powerful positions, and how they balance responsibilities at work and at home. These inspirational women recommended, when possible, individuals take risks and ownership of the behaviors you want to change. International Women’s Day events at 14 Wing were organized and hosted by the Greenwood Military Family Resource Centre and the Defense Advisory Group. Submitted

March 27, Military Family Services hosts its second virtual career fair for mil-itary spouses across the country as part of the Mil-itary Spousal Employment Network.
“The beauty of a virtual career fair is, regardless of location, people from coast to coast will have access to employers looking to hire,” says Kristy Fallon, commu-nity development and stake-holder relations manager, Military Family Services. “This is an opportunity to connect people with op-portunities – and not just in
their communities, but with remote work options, too.”
Currently in Nova Scotia, there are more than 45 posi-tions recruiters are looking to fill, as well as several remote positions available. Recruiters from network employers, including Ad-vanis, Air Canada, Alorica, Bank of Montreal, Bayshore Medical Personnel, Bell, Calian Group Ltd., Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, Department of National Defence, Garda World, LiveCa and Sykes Assistance Services; are looking to fi ll jobs in military
communities across the country, including several work-from-home opportu-nities. These national em-ployers have agreed to offer military spouses equal and fair access to employment opportunities within their organizations.
Following the conclusion of a similar employment network, Military Family Services saw the need for a dedicated network for military spouses, as spou-sal employment remains one of the top three issues for approximately 50,000 Canadian military spouses.
Growing steadily, the newly minted Military Spou-sal Employment Network has more than 1,235 users since it launched in the fall. The network is a self-di-rected, online resource with access to job postings, tools, resources and events such as training sessions and virtual and in-person career fairs.
Military spouses may reg-ister for the Military Spousal Employment Network at msen.vfairs.com and the virtual career fair at http://bit.ly/Mar27VirtualCareer-Fair.
