CADETS BIVOUAC

While doing the first round of training for CERT the cadets had an over night bivouac activity. The

evening started off with a Safety Briefing and was quickly followed by a delicious pasta dinner

cooked by Lt Doughty. From there cadets went to the Base Roxy Theatre to watch a movie on the

big screen.

We got back to base around 21:00 and First Sergeant Muller conducted a land-nav class followed by

a CQ briefing.

Utilizing reflective vests and the buddy system overnight

safety and security were provided with all having the

opportunity to participate sleeping outside in winter for

the first time in a controlled secure setting with propergear and warm shelter close by.

Many started the evening outdoors and ended up

indoors.

Utilizing the buddy system cadets there were constant patrols of the indoor and outdoor facilities

were ongoing throughout the night.

Early morning brought portable radios, compasses, glow sticks and safety vests and some

challenging conditions on an empty stomach but all did well and had fun. We learned some valuable

information as well that will improve the future

To wrap up the we ekend, participants took in a late breakfast at 0730 and then squared away our

building and packed our gear, this was followed by a bit of fun outdoor physical activity and thendismissal.

Thank you to First Sergeant Muller for all of your hard work! And to Lt. Doughty for your hard work,

and good food.

Coastal Patrol 18 Cape Cod CAP Squadron Members: 2d Lt. James D Eacobacci, 2d Lt Ronald

M Marotta, Lt Col James F Holler, Commander Lt. Col Kevin K Lynch,

and 2nd Lt. Ellen Degregorio, completed the

ICS 300 Course at Westover ARB.

The course was an intensive 2 day weekend

course on Jan 7th & 8th 2012 that covered multiple areas such as: resource management,

safety, information flow, organization, planning, logistics, & tactics in the event of emergency or

for planned events. Including instruction on working with single incidents as well as those

encompassing multi-jurisdictions and developing a unified response with

other agencies in the event of a planned or unplanned incident.

Incident Command System, or ICS, is a standardized, on-scene, all-risk,incident management concept. ICS is the result of decades of lessons

learned in the organization and management of emergency incidents. It is a

proven management system based on successful business practices. Designers of the system

recognized early that ICS must be interdisciplinary and organizationally flexible to meet incident

management challenges.

The members worked in groups going over how to command different scenarios in disaster,

emergency, and planned events. The projects had a multi-dimensional focus including but not

limited to how to work with police, fire, and other government agencies. Including how to access

situations, set up command, and facilitate resources and personal.

Airships Capt. Oscar Orringer, Coastal Patrol 18 CAP Aerospace Officer spoke of airships during a recent meeting. Thecadets found the subject interesting. Below is a over-view on the subject. More can be found at many placesonline. Info from here can be found at Wikipedia online encyclopedia under Airships.

n airship or dirigible is a type of aerostat "lighter-than-air aircraft" that can be steered and propelledthrough the air using rudders and propellers or other thrust mechanisms. Unlike aerodynamic aircraftsuch as fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters , which produce lift by moving a wing through the air,

aerostatic aircraft stay aloft by having a large "envelope" filled with a gas which is less dense than thesurrounding atmosphere. The first lifting gas used was hydrogen , although this had well-known concerns overits flammability. Helium was rare in most parts of the world, but large amounts were discovered in the USA.This meant that this non-flammable gas was rarely used for airships outside of the USA. All modern airships,since the 1960s, use helium.

Gondola

A blimp's gondola. The term "gondola" is used to describe a crew car of anairship, slung beneath the center of the envelope. These may be short, for cockpitand landing gear alone, or longer to provide passenger space.

Did You Know: Airships were used in WorldWar I

The prospect of airships as bombers had beenrecognized in Europe well before the airships were up to

the task. H. G. Wells' The War in the Air (1908)described the obliteration of entire fleets and cities by

airship attack. On 5 March 1912, Italian forces becamethe first to use dirigibles for a military purpose during

reconnaissance west of Tripoli behind Turkish lines. Itwas World War I , however, that marked the airship's real debut as a weapon. Albert Caquot designed an

Observation balloon for the French army in 1914. The tethered Type R Observation balloon was used by all theallied forces, including the British and United States Armies, at the end of the World War.

Airships were the first aircraft to enable controlled, powered flight, and were widely used before the 1940s, buttheir use decreased over time as their capabilities were surpassed by those of airplanes. Their decline continuedwith a series of high-profile accidents, including the 1937 burning of the hydrogen -filled Hindenburg nearLakehurst, New Jersey , and the destruction of the USS Akron . Airships are still used today in certain nicheapplications, such as advertising , freight transportation, tourism, camera platforms for sporting events, aerialobservation and interdiction platforms, where the ability to hover in one place for an extended periodoutweighs the need for speed and maneuverability.

PASADENA, Calif. -- A camera aboard one of

NASA's twin Gravity Recovery And Interior

Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar spacecraft has

returned its first unique view of the far side of

the moon. MoonKAM, or Moon Knowledge

Acquired by Middle school students, will be

used by students nationwide to select lunar

images for study.

GRAIL consists of two identical spacecraft,recently named Ebb and Flow, each of which

is equipped with a MoonKAM. The images

were taken as part of a test of Ebb's MoonKAM on Jan. 19. The GRAIL project plans to test the

MoonKAM aboard Flow at a later date.

To view the 30-second video clip, visit: http://go.nasa.gov/zZXAPs .

In the video, the north pole of the moon is visible at the top of the screen as the spacecraft flies toward

the lunar south pole. One of the first prominent geological features seen on the lower third of the moon

is the Mare Orientale, a 560-mile-wide (900 kilometer) impact basin that straddles both the moon's near

and far side. The clip ends with rugged terrain just short of the lunar south pole. To the left of center,

near the bottom of the screen, is the 93-mile-wide (149 kilometer) Drygalski crater with a distinctive

star-shaped formation in the middle. The formation is a central peak, created many billions of years ago

by a comet or asteroid impact.

For more information about GRAIL, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/grail .

Information about MoonKAM is available at: https://moonkam.ucsd.edu .
