NEWG SUMMER ENCAMPMENT

It was a successful event in Nebraska
Wing! 58 Attendees from the Region to
include cadets from Kansas, Iowa,
Minnesota & Missouri.
It was a very eventful week. Stay tuned
for more details next time.
WING ADMINISTRATOR will be out of
the office after 3:00 today - Wednesday,

AEROSPACE EDUCATION CORNER
Summer is ending along with the many
activities your unit participated in. The
Director of Aerospace Education needs
written responses of what each unit has
done, that relates to Aerospace Education. Usually this is done by each units
Aerospace Education Officer mailing in
their quarterly reports. However, this
year, very few quarterly reports or
emails have been received. As a result,
the Aerospace Education staff is asking
ALL Nebraska wing members to become newspaper reporters and mail or
email a list of what your unit has accomplished this year.

CALLING ONE AND ALL:

ALL SENIOR MEMBERS:
SPECIALTY TRACKS
Upon joining as a CAP member (or anytime after joining), make sure your squadron commander or professional development officer at the squadron enrolls
you in the specialty track of your choice. You will not
get credit for completion of the many courses available to us as senior members to excel further in the
Senior Level Program to receive the many Awards
and very deserved Promotions without this square
filled! The duty assignment does not automatically
enroll you in the specialty track.
TRAINING COURSES
It is preferred that the Squadron Leadership School
be taken prior to the Corporate Learning Course. If
the CLC is taken first, credit for this course will not
be given until completion of the SLS, at which time
the CAPF 11 for the CLC has to be re-submitted to
get the completion date on the members record at
National. Squadron Commanders and their Professional Development Officers should recommend the
SLS first and followed by the CLC. The Director of
the these courses will not know what you have completed prior and when your CLC does not show up on
your record, it could be because you havent taken
the SLS or are not assigned to a Specialty Track.
Refer to CAPF 50-17, CAP Senior Member Professional Development Program, Attachment 1, page 25
for the progression and awards chart.

Wing AdministratorMadeline Kennedy

mkennedy@newg-cap.org

of the Broken Bow Municipal Airport that
has been renamed Keith Glaze Field, after a
local aviator who was committed to bettering the facility. Lester Keith Glaze, who
passed away December 17, 2008, was
known for giving his time and money to
maintaining the airport. He was a member
of the Civil Air Patrol and Commander of
the former Custer Composite Squadron. He
served with the U.S. Air Force in World
War II, flying more than 90 flights. Secretary of State John Gale, who spoke at the
ceremony called Glaze a priceless gem.
