NHQ homepage indicating 15 saves already...



Is this more kitchen-table action or did people actually do a thing?

Enquiring minds want to know!

OK, slight brain fart there - Fiscal year, so since last Oct.

My guess is the kitchen table thing for most it not all. Kudos to the guys with the computer skills. Sit at the bedside in jammies and save lives. Its a good thing. The new CAP.

Times change and so do our missions. We haven't chased any submarines in a while either.

Being new back into CAP, where do you find info on what those 15 saved lives missions were?

It's the banner on cap.gov.

I saw the banner.  I was looking for a break down / narrative of what those missions were.  I dont see any other information off of the banner, or trying to click on it.

That's why I was asking here as well, hoping someone just "knew".

Otherwise you have to troll through news articles and WMIRS, etc.

Radar team - 4 missions - 7 saves
Cell team - 3 missions - 5 saves
North Carolina Wing - 3 missing person missions - 3 saves
These were all separate missions

So 80% are tech teams at this point. I predict it'll be 95% by year end.

And not a single blurb about it in the midst of all this PR:

A bit odd for what looks like an active PA program.... However, I have many a time only heard about a mission well after it is no longer news even after imploring ICs to give me a heads up whenever something interesting is happening.  Sometimes I've thought that the only way around this blockage was to monitor WMIRS 24/7.
