If he manages to survive long enough to complete the specified term of service.

Good luck to you.  Do not let these guys scare you.  I've had the job for about six months now and am really enjoying it.   Pick a great staff, make sure you have someone who has been around for a long while to advise you, and all will be well.

Congradulations.

Congratulations.  Do you still meet at FAT (Fresno Air Terminal / Fresno-Yosemite Int'l)? Years ago that used to be Gp 12/Sq 60, with another Sq (48??) at Chandler Field. FAT had a great search base capability.

Command is the most challenging and the most satisfying assignment in the military.  You are responsible for everything your unit does or fails to do.

What did you do in the SQD before being appointed?  1st Lt means you have more experiance than many SQD Commander Appointees.  The whole, "great a new member, lets make him the Commander" approach vary rarely is successfull.

I am sure you can get a good team to get you going.  I have confidence!   :angel:

I have about 12 years total in CAP.  6 as a cadet, and 6 as a Senior.  I had a several year break between Senior and Cadet.  I served 5 years as a Deputy Commander for Cadets between Sq 59 and Sq. 45 in Southern Ca.  I have spent the last year as the Deputy Commander for Seniors and ES officer.  I just finished my Mission Pilot qual.  I have an outstanding staff.  My Deputy is a former Sq. Commander and so was my Ops Officer.  My DCC is experienced, also a former cadet and a working CFI.
Things are poised to really get moving.  We have started a recruiting effort at the local JROTC units which I think was successful.  If anything, this will be interesting.
