Happy holidays!

Hi Team, As we head into the holiday season, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your service, dedication, and time you give to support our missions and cadets. The Rhode Island Wing continues to do great work because of members who are willing to step up, lead, mentor, and serve. This great work is often behind the scenes and without recognition. The holidays give you a chance to slow down, spend time with family and friends, and recharge. What you do matters, and the impact you make carries far beyond any single activity or event. Wishing you and your families a safe, restful holiday season and a new year filled with continued success, growth, and teamwork. With gratitude, Carpe diem, Col Stan Skrabut Rhode Island Wing Interim Commander Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (M) 307.287.8147 GoCivilAirPatrol.com<https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/> riwg.cap.gov<http://riwg.cap.gov/> [cid:672e54ba-eb63-49c0-a195-0553a22e0613] Volunteers serving America's communities, saving lives, and shaping futures

For the holiday's two gifts, but its actually just one. The normal Wing Operations meeting will be skipped on December 23rd. In its place will be Familiarization and Preparatory Training for Mission Scanner. ANYONE over age 18 is eligible to become a Mission Scanner. This is the initial step in CAP Aircrew Training. Training starts at 7:00 p.m. at Wing HQ, 19 Foster Rd in Cranston. There is money for the flying portion of MS qualifications. You have questions, I may have an answer, e-mail preferred--reply, NOT reply all. Happy Holidays, Lt Col Richard Courtney Rhode Island Wing Director of Operations Rhode Island Wing Director of Emergency Services Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (M) 401.636.0659 GoCivilAirPatrol.com<https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/> [https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdfnoLZwYhrCXQ3cuLiuYTZOa8q…] Volunteers serving America's communities, saving lives, and shaping futures.

The following in blue is an excerpt headline note from the daily briefing that CAP National sends to the Air Force to inform them of each day's activities. Mission base, aircrew and ground team/sUAS members should spend a few moments looking over the portions of this mission that apply to their operations. Now in order to access these log files: 1) go to WMIRS; 2) at the very top click on the Advanced Search button; 3) enter the mission number: 26-1-3911 into the mission number window and hit search. This mission is now the only one showing in the list below. From there you can look at air sorties, ground sorties, unit logs, comm logs, etc. When done, hit the "Current Missions" button on the left, then select "Reset to Default Search" to get back to RI missions. Good evening, We want to bring to your attention an excellent model for Unit Logs and Mission Files. Take a minute to review the WAWG Flood Impact Survey mission (26-1-3911). CAP-USAF is looking for more specificity in our logs and this is a great example.

Holiday Lights ES Exercise
by COURTNEY, RICHARD - Lt Col, CAP, RIWG/DOS 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

First I need volunteer drivers for Thursday night, 1800 to 2100. The focus of this exercise is a fun evening being directed to various homes that have been recognized as having great holiday decorations. Travel is in CAP vans, addresses are given by radio. For those with GES, you may get some UDF tasks checked off. You do not need to be ES qualified to participate. There has been NO response for participation on Friday or Saturday, so this exercise will be run on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Happy holidays, Lt Col Richard Courtney Rhode Island Wing Director of Operations Rhode Island Wing Director of Emergency Services Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (M) 401.636.0659 GoCivilAirPatrol.com<https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/> [https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdfnoLZwYhrCXQ3cuLiuYTZOa8q…] Volunteers serving America's communities, saving lives, and shaping futures.
