Here's mine:

GES
SET
UDF
GTM3* (finished the tasks and mission credit, just need final approval)
FASC*
IO*
LO*
MRO*
MSO*

Most of the trainee ones are because I went ahead and took IS 200.

I plan to work up to GTL and maybe MO.

I've only been on three missions (all training) with multiple sorties.

I guess mine needs updated:

GES
SET
UDF
GTM3
GTM2
GTM1*
GTL*
FASC*
IO*
LO*
MRO*
MSO*

I'm working on GTM1 right now, and will do GTL after that.

Another update:

GES
SET
UDF
GTM3
GTM2
GTM1

I am about to start on GTL.  All the previous trainee specialties dropped off when they changed the database.

I have been on two actual missions.  The first was a simple ELT search at the airport.  The second was an overnight site surveillance mission for a crash.

MRO (As soon as I can dig up some old logs, I'll be qualified.  Same for communications technical rating)
MSA

Mission Expierience
  1 missing person search
  1 non-distress ELT (found)

What is the point of putting practice missions on here?  I wouldn't brag about how many practice missions I've been to.

Come to think of it, I haven't bragged about anything in this thread.
Woohoo! that deserves a donut!

It doesn't show on the 101, cuz it's not an ES qual, but I'm also a MCP.

I think this might fall under the subject of Bragging Rights.  It's an article published in the Smithonian Air & Space magazine about CAP.  Thanks to Col Ken Perris for sending it to the troops in CA Wing.

Had a 2 for 1 mission last week...2 ELT's within 400 yards of each other on the airport. Had both located within an hour, one shut down night of, other the next morning when I could get access to the hanger. We had three teams out on the field, 2 with L-Pers and me with my Mk4 Sniffer....the other two teams were looking in dumpsters, and walking in circles (the 2 signals were confusing them).  Again the Sniffer works it's magic leaving no shadow of a doubt what was going on.

You're squadron commander already made a thread about it.  I'll leave the locating of said thread up to you; consider it CAPTalk freshman orientation  :)

OK, here's my little brag from this week.

Saturday night (really Sunday morning - 1:45am), I get the call - 121.5 in the area.  Myself and one of our Sq. Commanders form a UDF team and head out.  We first spent a bit of time checking airfields near one of the merges, then check the other out.   About .5 mile from the second merge, we get AoS - reasonably weak.  My vertical antenna on the vehicle roof is barely - if at all - picking it up, while the L-Per is doing quite well.   After chasing it for a little bit I realized that it was horizontally polarized (by rotating a portable beam I was using horizontally).   Also, the differently patterened reflections had us going in slightly wrong directions.   After a bit of negotating through neighborhoods around a lake (which of course entailed exiting out of a given neighborhood and around a bit to enter the next), we finally tracked the signal to a private home about 1.9 mi from the second merge.    At 6:30am we rang the doorbell, and when we asked the homeowner if he had an emergency beacon (perhaps from a boat?), he immediately said, "Umm..  Come on in..".    It was lying on a table in the living room.  :)

We silenced it about 2 hours after AoS - which I think was pretty good considering it was horizontal and we had to snake our way through several lakefront neighborhoods.   

Lessons learned:

The db loss on the vertical from being 90 degrees out of phase was stunning.   Parked 1 house away from the target location, I still had only 2 bars of signal strength on my mobile Yaesu.   Since we were using the Yaesu as a rough guide to determine if we were close enough to warrant stopping and determining a bearing, we wasted a bit of time.   Might have to figure out a horizontally polarized mobile antenna setup with a switching arrangement. 

My 2 element portable beam worked as well or a little better than the L-Per at determining a bearing (since I could body-null it) and at 1/7th the cost ($100 or so -  but plugged into a ham HT with a good signal meter).   

GPS is VERY handy when going through these neighborhoods.  Street Atlas on a laptop is much better since you can easily plot bearings and make notations as to your findings.   Also handy for plotting the merges and the actual location to gather statistics on the average offsets.

I'm one of those cadets, not to brag, oh wait! I do. Anyway, the thread is called "These are my boys" for those of you who don't already know. And currently I am GES and GTM3 qualified trying to get to GTM2 at least. Go NCS!
