Capt Julius Garrett, Commander MER-VA-108 Winter 2012 Editio
FROM THE COMMANDERS DESKGreetings members:
The past two years and three months have been a good time for the
Fredericksburg Composite Squadron. The unit grew in both cadets andactively participating senior members. I have seen many cadets grow in
knowledge, ability, and self-confidence. I have seen many of them be-
come good young leaders. Of course, this is part of the goal of cadet
programs. They have learned to make good judgments, decisions, andresponsibilities for cadet activities. The cadets have participated in
many activities that have been educational, fun, and rewarding.
We have had many new senior members who have joined and become
active participating members. They have taken on duties that supported
both cadet programs and senior activities. They all have been dedicatedto the cadets and the unit. Their goal has always been to see each and
every cadet succeed and excel, as well as the unit.
Part of making the decision to accept a command or staff position in-
volves knowing it is the right time for both the individual and the unit.
Just as important, knowing when the time is right for the individual andthe unit to step down from that position. For me, this is the right time tostep down as the unit commander. I feel quite confident that Captain
Richard Leonard, as the new commander, is more than capable of com-
manding the unit. He has held several positions within the unit, most all of them simultaneously. He has the wis-dom needed to be a unit commander and leader.
I personally thank all of the senior staff members for all of the work, time, and commitment that you have given
unselfishly to make the Fredericksburg Composite Squadron what it is today. It is you, collectively, that havegrown it, not me.
It has been quite the learning experience for me. There have been goodtimes and not so good times. I will dwell on the good times that I haveenjoyed during my tenure. I ask each of you to continue to support the
new command and staff. Under their leadership, I am confident that the
unit will continue to grow and become even better.
Farewell,
Capt Garrett

ONE OF OUR OWN ANSWERS THE CALL...
Full Virginia Wing Call-out for Search and Rescue MissionBy C/CMSgt Daniel Sylvia, Certified Ground Team Member 1
Late Thursday night, October 27, I received an e-mail from Virginia Wing headquarters re-questing a full Virginia Wing call-out for anybody certified as a ground team member. They
wanted certified and available members to report to the CAP command center at 7:30 am
sharp Friday morning to look for a lost autistic child who had been missing in the woods forfive days. The search had just become a Civil Air Patrol mission on Thursday, so they could
finally officially start calling members for the search.
I arrived at the CAP command center Friday
morning 15 minutes early to make sure I had
plenty of time to have my gear ready. I signed in
and started getting briefed on the situation andthe details of the child missing. After getting theinformation we organized a ground team and got a grid assignment
(search area), then headed out. The temperature was somewhere
below 40 degrees and our grid was full of thorns, mud, and othernot very welcoming conditions. But we pushed on for 4 hours be-
fore taking a breather. After the breather we kept pushing for another two hours before we got the call that the
child had been found about a mile from our location, which was amazing news to the team. We went back tobase, signed out, and left with a feeling in us that honestly, was one feeling you can't forget.
Being a part of finding 8 year old Robert Wood, Jr. was an honor and I will gladly sacrifice my time again to
find any others in need. I encourage all cadets and senior members to utilize the emergency services trainingoffered through CAP so we can be a squadron known for our readiness to serve our community.

WREATH COVERAGE AT QUANTICO INCREASESBy 2dLt Lisa Sylvia, PAO
The Fredericksburg Composite Squadron participated in its sixth ceremony supporting Wreaths Across
America (WAA)at Quantico National Cemetery in Virginia. At the ceremony, which takes place at noon
the second Saturday of December each year, Squadron members stood in formation as their former cadet
commander Trevor Leon Guerrero served as master of ceremonies. Leon Guerrero explained the symbolictradition of first placing a ceremonial wreath in honor of each service and an additional wreath for Prison-
ers of War and soldiers Missing In Action.
The ceremonial circle was completely surrounded with hundreds of spectators which included boy scout
troops, girl scout troops and members of military veteran motorcycle clubs. They watched as C/1stLt Na-
than Leon Guerrero, a 2011 Honor Guard Academy staff member and another former cadet commander forthe Fredericksburg squadron, escorted each service representative for wreath placement and salute in front
of a Marine Corps Color Guard. High on the hill above the event, a marine played taps on his bugle to
close out the sentimental ceremony. After the color guard marched out, all the spectators proceeded up the
road to where the cadets opened the boxes and passed out 2700 wreaths.
Wreaths Across America is gaining in support each year and Quantico is no exception. Each year the pub-
lic participation and wreath sponsorships have grown. 1st Lt. Maria Leon Guerrero, the Quantico WAALocation Leader, has assisted at each one since the beginning and says, "I am so grateful to be able to serve
such an important mission to 'remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and teach our
children the value of freedom.'"
This year Lt. Leon
Guerrero, a squadron
member since 2004,also served as the Vir-
ginia Wing WAA Pro-ject Officer. "The
Fredericksburg cadetsare doing a great job
spreading the word to
family, neighbors andbusinesses and gaining
more and more wreath
sponsorships each yearto ensure that those
who gave all are not
forgotten," says Lt.Leon Guerrero.

CADET COMMANDERS CORNERBy C/2d Lt Rachel Boelsche
Whats Your Resolution?
The holidays are a chance to relax and celebrate all that we have to be thankful for. With the coming of
New Years, however, it is also a time to look towards the future. Now that weve welcomed the year 2012,I hope that you all take the opportunity to consider your personal goals and plans. While you are making
your annual resolutions, do not forget Civil Air Patrol!
I can personally guarantee that CAP has a great deal to offer its cadets. However, we cadets must be will-
ing to go out and experience it! Take this new beginning as a chance to evaluate your CAP to-do list.
Where do you see the Cadet Program taking you? What grade would you like to attain? Is there a leader-
ship position at the squadron you want to hold? Do you want to get involved in Emergency Services?Whatever goal you have, make sure you plan a way to achieve it!
There are a great number of opportunities outside of the squadron as well. From encampments to nationalactivities, there are many aspects of the Cadet Program that go well beyond weekly meetings. Do some re-
search and find what interests you. Ask veteran cadets about their experiences, and take advantage of
online resources to read about the many Cadet Activities. There are a ton of CAP opportunities out there, Ipromise. So go find one for you!
I hope that you make the most of your chance to plan. Every cadet has the potential to achieve great things
during their time in Civil Air Patrol, but it is up to each individual to decide what those things will be. Youdont want to miss out on amazing and one-of-a-kind experiences just because you did not think ahead.
Consider where you see yourself next New Years, and find your way there!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT:
1st Lt Linda Tabb, Flying High By 2d Lt Sylvia, PAO
1st Lt Tabb never thought she would be hiking in the woods or wearing BDUs.
Her interests were always administrative and involved dressing up and having
creature comforts. There are many examples of parents who will do anythingfor their kids. Lt Tabb is no exception. When her daughter, C/2d Lt Jairus
Tabb, told her she wanted to be a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol, she not only sup-ported her but she joined-up with her. She quickly went from being a girlie
girl mother of one to a combat boot-wearing mother of sixty.
Lt Tabb began assisting the squadron as our Logistics Officer. She organizedthe cadets to assist with dissemination of storage items and the acquisition of
uniforms. She monitored the maintenance of the CAP van and worked as a liai-
son for several squadron activities.
Throughout 2011, Lt Tabb served the squadron as Deputy Commander for Cadets. She began the year with anexciting and aggressive schedule of squadron activities that has created an unforgettable year for cadets and
senior members. Under her enthusiastic charge, the cadets successfully completed their first nationally tele-vised parade in Washington, D.C. and we had more cadets attend encampment than ever before.
Lt Tabb is no stranger to hard work. Prior to volunteering for our squadron shewas the Director of Public Relations for the Heart for Homeschool Radio Pro-
gram. She also worked as a management analyst for the Department of State. Lt
Tabb, a communications and
speech pathology graduate fromGeorge Washington University,
also served as an administrativeofficer during Desert Storm.
It was a whirlwind year for the
Tabb family. Many may not real-
ize it, but Lt Tabb easily put in 20-30 hours a week volunteering for
the squadron. On many occa-
sions, I personally observed asshe continued volunteering while
battling illnesses and medical is-
sues.
So when you get the chance to
thank her for all her efforts, dont
forget to thank her husband anddaughter too. There were many
times that the work as DCC took
away personal time with theirwife and mother. So this spot-
light goes out to the entire Tabb
family!

CADETS PARTICIPATE IN SEARCH AND
RESCUE TRAINING MISSIONBy 2d Lt Lisa Sylvia, PAO
2d Lt Curtis Padgett wears two deputy hats. When he is not volunteering
as Deputy DCC for our squadron, he is working as a Spotsylvania Sher-
riffs Office Deputy.
In October, Deputy Padgett arranged for CAP cadets to participate in the
Sherriffs Office Joint Search and Rescue Training Mission at Luck Stone
Quarry near Massapo-nax High School. The
cadets who partici-
pated had Saturday
morning classes inSAR legal aspects,
land navigation tech-niques and map read-ing. The cadets
learned alongside members of the VA Defense Force,
Stafford County SAR Team, Dogs East and the Spotsylva-
nia Mounted SAR.
After
complet-ing a
night
search,the cadets
camped in tents during the overnight mission. In the morning,
most of the exercises involved training aspects of Project
Lifesaver. The program involves distributing watch-liketracking de-
vices on autis-
tic and Alz-heimers pa-
tients. The In-
cident Com-
mander for thetraining mis-
sion, Senior Deputy Mike Christie, is also Spotsylvania
Countys Project Manager for Project Lifesaver. His goal dur-ing the exercises was to train more volunteers in tracking and
locating the devices with one of the countys four hand-
receivers. He said that in five years of using the Project Life-
saver wristbands, there have been 40 searches and all have beenalive finds.

FLY WITH THE BEST
2011 VIRGINIA WING CONFERENCEBy C/2dLt Jairus Selena Tabb
Attending a Virginia Wing Conference is three days of Civil AirPatrol socialization. The first day is check in. Most cadets carpool
to the conference and share hotel rooms. On the second day, we
woke up around six o'clock, put on our dress blues and headed tobreakfast. The rest
of the day was
filled with DrugDemand Reduction
activities, Cadet
Advisory Council
meetings, National
Cadet Special Ac-tivities, and leader-
ship classes.
After the classes,
we change into our
formal wear for theyearly banquet. Awards, certificates, and promotions were pre-
sented at the dinner. During the banquet, the 2011 Encampment
video was shown. Once we were dismissed, we changed into ourcivilian attire for the dance.
At the dance, the cadets pulled their music ideas together to create
the ultimate party play list. In the cadet hospitality room all kindsof delicious snacks were provided. On the third day everyone met
for a time of laughing, sharing exciting encampment and confer-
ence stories during breakfast then we said good bye and headedhome.
This year was especially important, because CAP VIP financialsupporters of the Virginia Wing where present. Thankfully, the
VIPs were enamored with our professionalism, organization and
spunk; therefore our financial support was increased, which willresult in more orientation flights, uniforms, and scholarships.
Personally, seeing all my encampment friends, making new friends
and being a part of the CAP adventure was a blast! I highly recom-
mend attending the 2012 Virginia Wing Conference. Each year theconference is more entertaining and informative about the new ad-
ventures happening in CAP. Just like encampment, you won't want
to miss out on the teamwork, fun, and learning at a Virginia WingConference.
