Cadet Advisory Committee
• Critical component to the health and well being of our wing
• Provides the wing commander with insight into how the
wing’s cadet corps is doing
• Allows issues to be identified and addressed
• Provides opportunities for senior cadets to lead and mentor
on a bigger stage than the squadron
• Issue: Squadron-level support of the CAC is not good
– I need squadron commanders to actively support the CAC by:
• Ensuring the squadron has a reliable CAC representative
• Helping to ensure the CAC rep has a ride to/from the face-to-face
meetings
• Checking to ensure the CAC rep is supporting the WebEx meetings
• Introducing the CAC Chair – C/2 Lt Julien Work

• Staff report slides ARE REQUIRED by all staffers for the In-Person, Face-to-Face Meetings
• Inputs required 6 times annually for: Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov
• There is no excuse for not providing an input…Input necessary for documenting meeting minutes
• Next In-Person Meeting 8 March
• PLEASE…do not change formatting for the slide master I send out…just type in your information…I will ensure
formatting is correct…makes it more time consuming to standardize when compiling all inputs
• If you have too much information to present on slide, consider using the Wing Newsletter to communicate
additional information
• NM Wing is almost finished with responding to the May 2013 Wing CI discrepancies…I will send out personal
messages to those needing final closure to these discrepancies
• Aircraft Mngt: 2 Admin: 1 Supply: 2 Trans: 1 Safety: 2
• Would surely like to get these closed within the next month!!!
• State Budget…Staff needs to move out immediately and submit purchasing information to Claudia to spend the
state budget allocations…NLT 1 Feb
• Aerospace Education, Communications, Emergency Services, Gliders, Operations
• Reallocations probable for next Finance Meeting, 8 Feb
• No separate staff meeting after lunch; however…
• Staff is requested to remain during lunch hour, until we start breakout sessions, so Unit/CC and/or
representatives have a chance to meet one-on-one with staffers to answer concerns/questions

Warning Signs

• Made comments about being disenchanted with CAP
• Increased use of alcohol and/or illegal drugs
• Severe mood swings, noticeably unstable or emotional
• Tendency to blame others for problems
• Defensive or hostile attitude, increasing belligerence, or angry
outbursts
• Hypersensitivity to criticism
• Resistance and overreaction to changes in policy and
procedures
• Repeated violations of policies
Warning Signs (cont)
•
•
•
•
Explosive outbursts of anger or rage without cause
Behavior which indicates paranoia, (“everybody is against me”)
Escalation of domestic problems; talk of severe financial problems
Empathy with individuals committing violence
• Increased need for supervision; reduced productivity; inconsistent
work patterns
• Recently has withdrawn from normal activities, family, friends, coworkers; is isolated or a loner
• Morally superior, self-righteous; feels entitled to special rights and

Reporting
• Be prepared and know the indicators!
• Report observed indicators
TELL SOMEONE –
It is better to be wrong than dead!
• Pitfalls: “It will never happen to me,” or “I thought he/she was
just joking,” or “I don’t want to get them in trouble.” We must
break these paradigms to address this threat!
Reporting (cont)
• Special considerations for supervisors & commanders
– Moral & legal obligation to manage welfare of
personnel under their command
– Commanders are often briefed on early behavioral
indicators demonstrated by personnel to enable
sound decision making or line-of-duty
determinations
– While much of this information is protected, this
Reporting (cont)
• When a commander receives
information a subordinate has
demonstrated behavioral indicators,
they should consult a higher
command or the wing legal officer.
Prevention
Enabling personnel to detect and report individuals exhibiting behavioral cues
enhances overall safety/awareness
Your ability to detect and report suspicious behavior will directly save lives
Commanders must encourage and facilitate the reporting process through
appropriate channels
Prevention is multi-disciplinary and relies on command support to be successful
Be Prepared
• Know the entrances/exits of your building
• Have evacuation policies/procedures/rally points
– Post evacuation routes
• Update contact information/recall rosters
• Practice emergency escape procedures
• Keep a list of important phone numbers in your
meeting place
• Conduct training evacuation exercises
ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN!!
• How you respond to an active shooter will be
dictated by the specific circumstances of the
encounter, bearing in mind there could be
more than one shooter involved in the same
situation
• If you find yourself involved in an active
shooter situation, try to remain calm and
use these guidelines to help you plan a
strategy for survival
What do YOU do?
• If YOU are Outside:
– Escape/Evacuate (run away from the shooter)
– Don’t stay exposed; seek cover & concealment; get behind
something that can stop a bullet
– CALL 911 or 846-9111 & follow all directions of the police
What do YOU do?
• If YOU are Inside:

• Stay put until you hear “All Clear” by competent authority
• Do NOT pull the fire alarm
• Remain quiet, silence cell phones, use furniture for cover
What do YOU do?
• If YOU are in a Hallway:
– Escape/Evacuate
– Hide Out
• Get into a room and secure the door
• Follow steps from “If you are Inside”
What do YOU do?
• If YOU are in the same room as the shooter:
• DO NOT PROVOCT/ARGUE WITH THE SHOOTER!!!!!!!!!!
• Seek cover & concealment (if possible)
– CALL 911 or 846-9111; follow directions of the police; if you
cannot talk, try to leave the phone on so an operator can gather
information
– LAST RESORT: Swarm shooter; use anything available to
protect yourself and disable the subject, e.g. heavy books,
plaques, or anything that could be used as a weapon; commit to
your actions!!!

Staff Meeting
Lt Col John Green
October 12, 2013
• Staff Reports ARE NOT OPTIONAL for In-Person, Face-to-Face Commanders and Staff Meetings.
• Please lets get it together and submit staff reports when requested…and by due date assigned
• NM Wing Schedule – Maj Branan
• State Budget Execution
• Finance Committee has finalized and approved staff budgets for specific line items requested
• Compliance Inspection (CI)
• Still waiting on the “final official CI report”
• Next goal 18 October
• Updated responses to discrepancies due at NHQ…I have not received any updated responses yet and
they are DUE NOW so I can assemble them into a single response and submit to NHQ by 18 Oct
• Please remember the solutions to discrepancies documented must address what positive actions the
Wing will take or have taken place to prevent discrepancy from occurring again
• Look at the discrepancies from a “root cause” aspect and determine what can be done to prevent the
root cause
• All discrepancy corrective actions will be approved or disapproved by NHQ, not NMW
• CI Inspection Binders
• Repopulate with any materials given to inspectors
• Return binders to Chief of Staff (CS) as soon as feasible…I have only received a couple of them back so far
• CS will store binders until next CI (3 years)
