Guys,

Got this off another list. Interesting

Civil Air Patrol (CAP) wing commanders recently received word that, pending the continuing resolution in Congress, wings would receive only 45% of their expected funding. They were told that this could be the case until April. Then, for the first quarter of the CAP's fiscal year, they received only 20%. According to sources, this is going to keep a lot of planes on the ground. And wing commanders report that the region commanders are uncommunicative when asked what is going on.
Meanwhile, one of two annual meetings of what used to be called the NEC (the National Executive Committee) occurs in early November. The NEC is now called the "SAG," or Senior Advisory Group. Under the new governance model, the difference is that members of the SAG (region commanders on up) no longer have any vote, but can serve in an advisory capacity only to the CAP leadership. This meeting will be followed in early December by one of two annual face-to-face meetings of the CAP's Board of Governors (BoG). Because the new governance model is supposed to go into effect in January, it is expected that there will be a great deal coming out of those meetings. The NEC/SAG meetings are no longer video-streamed.
Earlier, the CAP "leadership" was holding out the expectation that the process of shaping and adopting the new governance model would be a much more transparent process. One by one, all such promises appear to have been rescinded, including one that the report of Board Source, the consultants on the model, would be shared.
According to one officer, "I wish I could say that the distrust this is creating is unprecedented, but let me say the general climate around here hasn't been this bad since Pineda." (Tony Pineda, the CAP national commander from June of 2005 to October, 2007, was removed from office, and stripped of his rank and CAP membership, for corruption after the story broke of his having cheated on his U.S. Air Force Air Command and Staff College tests.
"Morale is very low," confirmed another officer. And, yet a third officer has said, "This is unfortunate. The new governance model is much more coherent. It should be hailed, but the lack of communication is creating huge distrust."

Guys,

Got this from Al Stern down in Florida:

_US Fleet Forces Sets Sortie Condition Alpha, Ships Getting Underway_
(US Fleet Forces Sets Sortie Condition Alpha, Ships Getting Underway)


NNS121026-13. US Fleet Forces Sets Sortie Condition Alpha, Ships Getting
Underway

>From U.S. Fleet Forces Command Public Affairs

NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) ordered all U.S.
Navy ships in the Hampton Roads, Va., area to set Sortie Condition Alpha
Oct. 26 in preparation for an upcoming sortie as Hurricane Sandy travels up
the East Coast.

Adm. Bill Gortney, USFF commander, has directed ships to sortie between
this afternoon and early tomorrow morning.

USS Ashland (LSD 48) and USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) will sortie from Joint
Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Va.

The following ships will sortie from Naval Station Norfolk: USS Harry S.
Truman (CVN 75), USS Bataan (LHD 5), USS San Antonio (LPD 17), USS Mesa
Verde (LPD 19), USS Ashland (LSD 48), USS Carter Hall (LSD 50), USS Leyte Gulf
(CG 55), USS Monterey (CG 61), USS Anzio (CG 68), USS Barry (DDG 52), USS
Gonzales (DDG 66), USS Mahan (DDG 72), USS Bulkeley (DDG 84), USS Mason (DDG
87), USS Bainbridge (DDG 96), USS Gravely (DDG 107), USS Ross (DDG 71),
USS Nicholas (FFG 47), USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201), USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE
13), USNS William McClean (T-AKE 12).

USS Wasp (LHD 1), USS Taylor (FFG 50) and USNS Kanawha (T-AO 196) are
already underway in the USFF Area of Responsibility.

"Based on the current track of the storm, we made the decision to begin to
sortie the fleet," said Gortney. "The current timeline allows them enough
time to transit safely out of the path of the storm."

The Navy orders a sortie during potentially extreme weather conditions to
reduce the risk of significant damage to ships and piers during high winds
and seas.

Some ships will not get underway, due to various maintenance
availabilities, and are taking extra precautions to avoid potential damage. Commanding
officers have a number of options when staying in port, depending on the
severity of the weather. Some of these options include adding additional
mooring and storm lines, dropping the anchor, and disconnecting shore power
cables.

As a precautionary measure, Commander Navy Installations Command ordered
all installations in the Hampton Roads area to set Tropical Cyclone
Condition Three as Hurricane Sandy is forecast to bring high winds and rain to the
Mid-Atlantic coast. Tropical Cyclone Condition Three means destructive
winds of greater than 50 knots associated with a tropical system, are expected
within 48 hours.

A variety of information is available in support of family readiness during hurricane
season including:

- Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System, http://go.usa.gov/kQ4,
which provides a standardized method for the Navy to account, manage and
monitor the recovery process for personnel and their families affected
and/or scattered by a wide-spread catastrophic event.

-U.S. Fleet Forces planning preparedness Web site to help families with
hurricane and destructive weather planning,
Disaster Preparedness Plans.

- State of Virginia Emergency Management,
Ready Virginia | Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), which has many resources for planning and preparing emergency kits, developing evacuation plans and addressing specific special needs for children, the elderly and others.

- Virginia Department of Transportation Hurricane Evacuation Guide,
Hurricane Evacuation Guide, which provides more
detailed information for preparing for a hurricane, hurricane evacuation and public shelters in Virginia.

AF1 not too far out now. Currently with ZDC 127.75
1003- Cleared to FL120

Just heard someone on 136.375 saying they're airborne and broadcasting on Ch4. Then I heard OMAHA1 checking in with PCT on 120.45.

1309- LOBO02 inbound for ADW. 118.675
OMAHA1 checking in with DCA tower. 134.35 They're on 165.2375 also.
Ch4 frequency is 2285. They don't have the remote to change their encryption, thinks it was left in N3904A the NCR aircraft so heading back to KHEF. They were advised they don't need to be secure for this mission. They will eventually be heading to Zone 2, the area north of DC.

1341- OMAHA1 back to what they were doing. 2210 for the video feed freq. They will be testing their different video channels.

Thanks everyone for your terrific contributions on this thread. I have learned a lot after readign through about 70% of the thread. I just got a new BCD996XT and I am still learning it. Converting my files from other software has proven harder than I thought.

Would someone here be kind enough to share their FreeScan file(s) for Military Air monitoring in the NYC area or the northeast? (or anywhere?) THAN YOU VERY MUCH in advance :)

Cheers!
