Cockpit Culture

Yup, you’re right, the titleof my column this weekisn’t politically correct, it’snot even my catch phrase

but that of the Chief ofAir Staff Lieutenant-General Angus Watt. Itdoes, however, accuratelydescribe my subject forthis week’s article.

So what is meant bycockpit culture? It meansthe growing reluctance ofsome of our best andbrightest members toleave operational unitsand apply their skills andknowledge at the head-quarters level -- to do astaff tour and/or take thatpromotion and posting.

This culture is not justlimited to the officers’

corps, but is also wellestablished within theNCM ranks. Admit it,we have all heard some-one say, “I’m happy just tobe a Corporal/Captain”or “I’ll go anywhere butthe Air Division inWinnipeg or NDHQ inOttawa.”

Well, boys and girls,someone has to do thestaff work. Someone hasto take all that fieldknowledge and apply itto air warfare policies,doctrine and procedures.

No, it’s not as muchfun as flying upside down

with your hair on fire, orbusting a knuckle on abroken part, but it is justas important.

So when someonecomes to you with anoffer to do a staff tour, Iask you not to think of itas a punishment, but asan opportunity to injectyour skill and knowledgeat the strategic level. Toserve those that fight!

Just a thought!

WING LOGISTICS & ENGINEERINGPICTURE OF THE WEEK

8 Wing Transportation/EMESquadron, Heavy EquipmentMaintenance Section, is extremelybusy this time of the year, complet-ing seasonal inspections on Snowand Ice Control (SNIC) equipment.There was an abnormal amount ofsnow in 07/08 and the equipmentwas in constant use trying to keepthe runways clear. The maintainersof this section are often the unsungheroes. Most Wing personnel onlysee the equipment in operation anddo not realize the special skills andthe numerous hours required tomaintain it to Provincial HighwayTraffic standards. Other than aircraft,these personnel maintain almosteverything that is mobile. They areextremely proud of their role in sup-porting 8 Wing Operations andkeeping the airfield open.

Search & RescueUPDATE

424 Squadron had a busy week responding to seven call-outs.The first mission was for a reported aircraft crash in the Kapuskasing area. Both

our Herc and Griffon were tasked, while training, to respond to the area. The pilotof the aircraft survived the crash and was recovered by another helicopter,and ourcrews were stood down while enroute.

The second mission was for person in the water “PIW” near Whitby. OurGriffon was tasked and located the person shortly after arrival. The person wasrecovered by a Canadian Coast Guard vessel and, after a fuel stop, our Griffonreturned to Trenton.

On August 17, our Griffon was once again tasked to search for another “PIW,”this time in the Trent River between Hastings lock and Huycle Island. Afternumerous passes along the narrow stretch of river, the crew found nothing and wasreleased by JRCC and returned to Trenton.

Next mission was again for a “PIW,” this time in the Gananoque area. OurGriffon crew was tasked to look for a person last seen swimming between two sailboats. Rescue 422 arrived on-scene and flew multiple passes over the area and com-pleted their assigned search patterns with negative results. They were replaced byan RCMP aircraft and returned to base.

Next was our Griffon and Herc, tasked to the Terrace Bay area of Lake Superiorfor an overdue 16-foot boat with two people on board. After searching the area fora short time, they located the boat on the shore of Slate island. The Coast Guardvessel “Cape Chaillon” was in the area and was dispatched to the scene. After it wasdetermined that no medical treatment was required, the Herc crew was released byJRCC and came home to Trenton. The Griffon crew had been released prior toarriving in the area.

Next and final mission was again for both our Griffon and Herc, this time tosearch for a Ministry Of Natural Resources boat that was taking on water in LakeOntario, south of Kingston. The swamped vessel was located by the Herc crew, butwith no one on board. The three people from the boat were later located by theCCG vessel Capt Hern, and were transported to Kingston. Our two crewsreturned to Trenton after being released by JRCC.

Until next week, stay alert and stay safe.

1998 - Since the first week of July, the population at 8 Wing Trenton hadincreased by about 725 people. These people were the Air Cadets, here toattend the Trenton Air Cadet Summer Training Centre. Some are here for twoweeks, others three weeks and some even six weeks. What they take away fromthe experience all depends on what course the cadet has taken. The youngercadets, ages 12 to 14, usually attend the training centre under the BasicTraining course, lasting two weeks. Once the cadet has graduated the Basiccourse, they are eligible to attend a more advanced course the following year.

About 30 minutesinto the search, the crew locat-ed the person and called theCoast Guard vessel “CapeMercy” to the site. The CapeMercy recovered the personand asked for assistance fromthe SAR-Techs on board. Thetwo SAR-Techs were hoisteddown to the Coast Guardvessel and they made theirway to the Whitby harbour tomeet the coroner. The Griffondeparted for Oshawa for fuel,then returned to Whitby topick up the two SAR-Techsand returned to Trenton.

Hastings and Prince EdwardCounties Health Unit- More kidswill be able to participate safely insports requiring helmets thanks toa new program.

Locally, the Hastings andPrince Edward Counties HealthUnit will take part in Phase 3 ofOntario Safe Sports HelmetInitiative.

The sports helmet programfrom the ThinkFirst Foundationof Canada and the OntarioMinistry of Health Promotionrepresents a $500,000 provincialinvestment aimed at encouragingthe use of helmets among childrenand youth.

Over the next few months, theHealth Unit and local communitypartners will distribute upwards of167 helmet vouchers to families inneed.

The $25 “Bucket Coupon” willallow families to purchase a newsport or bike helmet at a numberof participating retailers in the

area.The program will enable more

kids to have equal access to partic-ipate safely in the sports and recre-ation activities requiring helmets,including biking, rollerblading andskateboarding.

“The Health Unit is verypleased to be participating,” saysKerri Jianopoulos, a public healthnurse. “Summertime activitieswith wheels are fun and are goodways to be active. However, activi-ties like these carry some risks,especially the risk of a head injury.It’s important to play safe.”

A helmet could save a child’slife.

Research shows that headinjuries are the number one causeof serious injury and death to kidson wheels.

The program will also help toeducate kids and parents about theimportance of using the right safe-ty gear.

A provincial youth-oriented

Buckle Your Bucket public educa-tion campaign will increase helmetsafety awareness, and emphasizecorrect use and fitting of helmets.

A provincial e-viral campaignis also in the works to help spreadthe word to Buckle Your Bucket toall youth across Ontario via e-mailand other popular web applica-tions.

This program is part of theOntario Injury PreventionStrategy announced in 2007.

It represents a government-wide coordinated approach toaddressing injury prevention, thefirst of its kind in Ontario.

How many of you think you have a system for gam-bling?

Some people believe if they play at certain timesof the day, manipulate a machine in a certain man-ner, change their speed of betting or change theirbetting levels - they can increase their chances ofwinning.

The fact is these systems can’t improve a gam-bler’s chances, because no system can predict orovercome the randomness which is the very natureof games of chance.

Is an event dependent or independent? Winninga game of chance is always an isolated event. Eachgame is a separate event; it is never affected by theresults of previous rounds.

For example, when flipping a coin twice, the twoflips are independent; the outcome of the first flipdoes not affect the outcome of the second in anyway.

Some gamblers feel that if they just keep playingtheir luck will change. It really has nothing to dowith luck but more on laws of chance.

Randomness: Most forms of gambling involve arandom number generator in some form.

Electronic games, such as slots and VLTs, aremade random through a computer chip known as aRandom Number Generator or RNG.

The RNG randomly selects numbers from a par-ticular range, usually 1 to a few billion. Each num-

ber in the range corresponds to a particular symbolon the slot machine or a card for video poker.

The RNG is always generating the numbers andthey are generated at a rate of thousands per second.Each trial on a random number generator is notonly random, but also independent of all others,which means that previous results do not affect cur-rent or future outcomes.

It’s impossible to figure out a system for predict-ing what will happen next. (Source: AddictionsFoundation of Manitoba).

House Advantage: The house is in the businessof making money; it will take in more money thanit pays out in wins.

They always make a profit because they have ahouse average on every game they operate.

For example, the house advantage on VLTs isabout seven per cent. This means you’ll lose an aver-age of seven cents from every dollar you bet.

While any single bet could result in a win at anytime, losing is inevitable in the long run. That isunless you look at it as entertainment and limityourself to how much you plan to lose. That way youwon’t be disappointed with the entertainment “markup.”

So the next time you decide to gamble rememberenjoy yourselves but know the odds!

A sharp cutting tool is asafer tool. That seems allwrong, but it’s true. A dullcutting tool requires toomuch force to operate,increasing the chances of itslipping out of control.

So make sure the cut-ting hand tools you use arekept sharp enough to dothe job properly – whetheryou are using a chisel in acarpentry shop or a paringknife in your own kitchen.

Follow the manufac-turer’s instructions abouthow to sharpen a tool.

Some need to be sharp-ened on a grinder, using aparticular abrasive. Weareye protection and makesure the tool rest is adjust-ed for safe operation.

Many other cuttingtools are sharpened byhand, swiping them acrossa shaping stone.

You should not let atool become excessivelydull before sharpening itbecause it is more difficultto get it back into the right

shape. Overworking a toolwhile sharpening it cancause it to break.

You can keep your toolssharper and in better con-dition if you store themproperly in a rack, sheath,lined drawer or anotherkind of holder.

Guard the cutting edgeto prevent injuries and toprevent damage. Neverleave a cutting tool wheresomeone else mightencounter it unexpectedly– under scrap or on theedge of a work bench. Hereare more reminders aboutusing sharp tools safely:

Inspect the tool beforeeach use. Replace thosewith loose or damagedblades, worn handles andother defects.

Cut away from thebody, and away from otherpeople. If you must use theopposite hand to hold thematerial, wear a cut-resist-ant glove, such as one con-taining metal chain link.

A heavy leather apron,eye protection and safetyfootwear are also requiredfor many jobs that involvecutting tools.

Maintain good balancewhen you use a cutting toolso you can maintain con-trol even if it slips.

Don’t use an under-sized or underpoweredtool. Trying to slice afrozen slab of meat with aknife instead of a meat saw

is asking for injury. If you wear a knife

sheath, position it towardthe back of your hip, not infront of you.

Use the tool designedfor the job. For instance,while pocket knives andmulti-purpose tools mightbe useful away from work,they are not made to standup to heavy use.

Pushing too hard on apocket knife could cause itto collapse suddenly. Use atool designed for the job,such as a sturdy hookedknife, safely-adjusted ringknife or wall-mounted cut-ter.

Carton cutters aredesigned specifically foropening cartons quickly.The blade should beretracted when not in use.

Take care to avoid slit-ting the contents of thebox. An unnoticed nick ina plastic container couldresult in a hazardous spill.

Don’t wipe a tool onyour clothing. Wash sharpknives separately fromother utensils. When soak-ing, washing and rinsing,keep them in sight, nothidden under soapy wateror other objects.

It should be obviousthat horseplay with cuttingtools is a bad idea. Knife-tossing contests and swordfights are dangerous activi-ties and are against thesafety rules.

submitted by Don Heans,

Wing General Safety Officer

When sharper is your safest bet1. Install and maintain smoke detectors: Smoke detectors warn you of a fire intime to let you escape. Install them on each level of your home and outside ofeach sleeping area. Follow the manufacturer’s directions, and test once a week.Replace batteries once a year or when the detector chirps to signal that the bat-tery is dead. Don’t ever borrow them for other uses!

2. Plan and practice to escape: If fire breaks out in your home, you must get outfast. With your family, plan two ways out of every room. Fire escape routes mustnot include elevators, which might take you right to the fire! Choose a meetingplace outside where everyone will gather. Once you are out, stay out! At leasttwice a year, have the whole family practice the escape plan.

3. Space heaters need space: Keep portable and space heaters at least 3 feet (1metre) from paper, curtains, furniture, clothing, bedding, or anything else thatcan burn. Never leave heaters on when you leave home or go to bed, and keepchildren and pets well away from them.

4. Smokers need watchers: Carelessly discarded cigarettes cause tens of thou-sands of home fires every year. Never smoke in bed or when you are drowsy!Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers, and put water on the butts before dis-carding them. Before going to bed, check under and around sofa cushions forsmouldering cigarettes.

5. Be careful cooking: Keep cooking areas clear of combustibles, and don’t leavecooking unattended. Keep your pot’s handles turned inward so children won’tknock or pull them over the edge of the stove. If grease catches fire, carefullyslide a lid over the pan to smother the flames, then turn off the burner.

6. A match is a tool...for adults: In the hands of a child, matches or lighters areextremely dangerous. Store them up high where kids can’t reach them, prefer-ably in a locked cabinet. And teach your children from the start that matchesand lighters are tools for adults, not toys for kids. If children find matches, theyshould tell an adult immediately.

7. Use electricity safely: If an appliance smokes or has an unusual smell, unplugit immediately, and have it repaired. Check all your electrical cords, and replaceany that are cracked or frayed. If you use extension cords, don’t overload themor run them under the rugs. Remember that fuses and circuit breakers protectyou from fire: don’t tamper with the fuse box or use fuses of an improper size.

8. Cool a burn: If someone gets burned, immediately place the wound in coolwater for 10 to 15 minutes to ease the pain. Do not use butter on a burn, as thiscould prolong the heat and further damage the skin. If the burn blisters or chars,see a doctor immediately.

9. Stop, drop and roll: Everyone should know this rule: if your clothes catch fire,don’t run! Stop where you are, drop to the ground, and roll over and over tosmother the flames. Cover your face with your hands to protect your face andlungs.

10. Crawl low under smoke: If you encounter smoke using your primary exit, useyouralternate route instead. If you must exit through smoke, the cleanest air will beseveral inches off the floor. Get down on your hands and knees, and crawl to thenearest safe exit.

Remember, by planning ahead, you can do a lot to prevent a fire. But once a firestarts in your home, there are only two things to do: first get out, then call thefire department from a neighbour’s home. Don’t go back into a burning build-ing, no matter what. If you think someone is trapped inside, tell the fire fighterswhen they arrive.

10 tips to ensure fire safety

The construction of or use of recre-ational fire pits on DND property posesan unnecessary risk to personnel andproperty. Unless an area is specificallydesigned for and designated as a camp-ing facility, the construction and/or useof fire pits and clay or metal portablefireplaces is not permitted. Realty AssetManagement Manual: Chapter 10 FireProtection and Emergency Services,Section 4 – Fire and Life Safety

Puits récréationnels de feu

La construction de ou l’utilisation des puitsrécréationnels de feu sur la propriété DNDpose un risque inutile au personnel et à lapropriété. À moins qu’un secteur soitspécifiquement conçu pour et soit indiquécomme terrain de camping, la constructionet/ou l’utilisation des puits de feu et descheminées portatives d’argile ou de métaln’est pas permise.

When you think of a Legionnaire,what is the first thing that comes tomind?

For many folks, Legionnaire bringsto mind a picture of a bunch of oldguys in a smoke filled room, drinkingbeer and telling each other war stories.

In some Legion Branches that stillhave Veterans, that still happensoccasionally (except for the smokefilled part).

It would be nice if it were truethroughout the Legion, butunfortunately those old guys, ourVeterans, are passing away in greaternumbers each year, so that they arenow a minority of the Legionmembership. Currently (2008), theaverage age of a Second World WarVeteran is 84, and a Korean Veteran is77.

Obviously, for the Legion to remainstrong and to be able to continue withour work on Remembrance andcommunity events, we need a continualinflux of new members.

The Legion was originally foundedby Veterans following the First WorldWar, to provide a strong voice forother First World War Veterans and toadvise the government of the day onVeterans’ issues.

During the Second World War, andagain during the Korean War, theLegion continued to assist Veteransand returning service members byproviding educational support and in-theatre comfort for serving personnelat home and abroad.

Since the Korean War, the Legionhas become more involved incommunity service.

An athletics program for youth,established in the early 1950s has beenone of the Legion’s most successfulprograms producing many topCanadian international track and fieldcompetitors.

The Legion has launched many

other programs since then, includingNational Unity and Seniors Programs,and medical fellowships. Additionally,local Legion Branches sponsor army,navy and sea cadet corps, scouting andguiding organizations and otherprograms to motivate and developCanadian youth.

The Legion annually spendsthousands of dollars on bursaries andscholarships, conducts poster, literaryand public speaking contests, and takespart in hundreds of Remembrance Dayceremonies at schools throughout thecountry.

Many Branches sponsor teams inhockey and ball tournaments andleagues, and assist with Meals onWheels and other programs to benefitthe seniors in our communities.

Throughout all of this communityinvolvement, the Legion has not lostsight of the original reason for being,and that is the dedication to improvingthe conditions of life for our Veteransand ex-service members, and theirfamilies.

At the same time, the Legioncontinues to promote Remembrance tonot only the youth, but to all membersof the community, so that we maycontinue to remember the sacrificesthat were made to ensure we can enjoythe freedom and prosperity we havetoday.

While Legion members give muchof their time to community andRemembrance events, the LegionBranches are also a source ofcamaraderie and social activities.

Members regularly participate indances, barbeques, local entertainmentand a host of other special events.

Additionally, there is a very activesports program in the Legioninvolving darts, curling, golf, cribbageand euchre, pool and horseshoes.

These programs run at local,district, provincial and some at the

Canada wide level.The two most popular

m i s c o n c e p t i o n s c o n c e r n i n gmembership in the Legion are: a) youhave to be, or have been, in the militaryto join, and b) you have to be retiredfrom the military to join (a belief heldby many military personnel).

The following persons are eligibleto join the Legion: 1) any person whois serving, or has served, in HerMajesty’s armed forces, RCMP, CoastGuard etc., 2) relatives of thoseindividuals, and 3) any Canadiancitizen who supports the aims andobjectives of the Legion.

More detailed information andmembership applications are availableat your local Legion branch or on theinternet at www.legion.ca.

With the Legion’s rich history,community and Remembranceinvolvement, member benefits, andsocial and sporting activities available,why not join and take advantage of theopportunity to participate and assist incommunity events, help our Veteransand ex-service people, and enjoy thefellowship of other Legion members atsocial and sporting events.

Your membership card from yourlocal Branch allows you to enter themore than 1,600 Branches in Canadaand the United States by just showingthe card.

This is a very handy feature if youare travelling or just on holidaysomewhere in the area of a LegionBranch, and is a great way to meet newpeople.

Your membership can betransferred to a new Branch if you areposted (Military) or just move to asnew location, so there is no need to letyour membership lapse after you havejoined.

The local Legion Branch #110 inTrenton is located at 19 Quinte Street.

Included in our facilities is an air

conditioned members’ lounge, an airconditioned banquet hall with elevatoraccess, as well as an outside, licensedpatio that can accommodate 100persons. From September to May,there are active dart and card leagues inthe evenings.

Throughout the year we have adance every Friday (open to the public)and Saturday evening (in the member’slounge), as well as Saturday afternoonentertainment.

Guests of our members arewelcome to attend all the Branchfunctions.

Planning to get married?If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic Party must contact first the Wing Chaplains’ Offices at 613-392-2811, local 2490 to beginthe pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriagefile, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less then three months prior to the wedding day. Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage classes are not offered fromMay to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The later have thechoice between their Wing Chaplains’ Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above stillapplies.

If the marriage file is not processed on time, the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawaand from. . . to the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of yourdenomination at the earliest convenient time.

Vous planifiez de vous marier?Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureauxdes aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration dumariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.)et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie.Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés duMDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que sila partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore.

Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsablede toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour prépareret acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage.

Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avecle padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.

The pre-baptismal session is mandatory for both parents; however, godparents (one ofthem at least must be RC) are invited to participate. Proxy might be an option if godpar-ents cannot attend.

For liturgical reasons and the baptism sacramental theology, baptisms are not cele-brated during the Lent Liturgical Season.

Civilian parents who wish to have their child baptized at our military facility mustfirst contact their civilian parish (whether or not they are active at that parish) before con-tacting our chapel.

(NC)-Everywhere you look,people are turning to alterna-tive light bulbs to save energy.

The most notable exampleare CFLs (compact fluorescentbulbs), which significantlyreduce energy consumptionand are now available for manydifferent applications aroundyour home.

However this lighting alter-native does have some limita-tions - many are not dimmableor controllable and they con-tain a small amount of mercu-ry. If CFLs do not suit yourlighting needs, there is another

option for energy saving light-ing solutions in your home.

Halogen technology can bea viable energy saving alterna-tive. Experience indoor andoutdoor spaces in a bright newlight with Philips’ latest line ofHalogena Energy Saver bulbs.

This innovative new energysaving technology allows youto use a lower watt bulb whilegiving you a higher quality oflight and lifespan versus anincandescent bulb.

Tim Waterfield, productmanager for Philips Lightingsays, “these products will save

you 30% in energy use and willlast up to three times longerthan equivalent incandescentbulbs.”
