Cadet Programs - Lt Col Kathy MaxwellInformation Technology - Major Mon Boonprohm- Please submit equipment requests 6 to 8 weeks prior to the activity/need date.
- Reminder: please use the IT support request portal on the Wing website. IT is considering disallowing requests via email due to the influx of SPAM into the ticket system.
Plans and Programs - Captain Tyler Bennett- After Action Report Reminders - Automation
Project Officers who have open activity files are now receiving a weekly reminder to submit their AAR and Sign-In/Out sheets! The reminder will include the activity edit link to reduce any confusion of where to submit the documents. The emails will be sent to the Project Officer on file for that activity. Thank you to the WAWG Team for their efforts to make this happen!
Chief of Staff - Captain Jessica Jerwa- Vehicle Fuel Levels / Mission Readiness
This summer, we noticed a large number of Corporate Vehicles picked up for activities with:- incomplete inspection logs
Please take a moment to review this training video, "How to Complete Vehicle Logs" - fuel levels under 3/4 and sometimes even 1/2 a tank
There is no regulation required to be a good "Stewards of the Organization" and refuel your COV after every trip. These are not "your vehicles" or "Wing's vehicles", but "Civil Air Patrol's vehicles." You never know if another unit, activity, mission, VIP, etc., may need to use one of our vehicles. - miscellaneous food trash and debris, unapproved window stickers, dirty interiors and windows, etc.
Not much to say about this, except please clean up after yourselves. - missing, incorrect, faded stickers/paint/parts
Many vehicles in the Wing still need updated decals. If you have a need to replace vehicle stickers or request repairs, please submit a request.

 | McChord Composite Squadron's 20-mile Road Marchers receive first-ever "Lt Col Lorraine Robertson, CAP Memorial Ice Cream Drop"
This weekend, under Project Officer Major Michael Moore's leadership, McChord Composite Squadron repeated a bit of history and took part in a 20-mile road march!
Major Moore last held this activity in 2006 when then Administrative Officer, Lt Col Lorraine Robertson dropped in on the event with popsicles! Col Robertson was known for showing up at CAP activities that were being held off the beaten path...with a cooler full of ice cream! While she passed away in 2017, Washington Wing Chief of Staff, Capt Jessica Jerwa, kept her spirit alive this weekend, showing up unexpectedly and surprising everyone...with a cooler full of ice cream! (read more about McChord CS's activity on Facebook here, here, here, and here)
Capt Jerwa would like to challenge everyone to do their own "Lt Col Lorraine Robertson, CAP Memorial Ice Cream Drop"! Who doesn't love unexpected ice cream? |
