Per Col James Dodrill, West Virginia Wing Commander: "Recently, Capt Toni Wheeler submitted her resignation as Wheeling squadron commander due to pressing personal commitments. I am sincerely grateful to Capt Wheeler for her service as squadron commander and wish her well in her future CAP endeavors. Also, I am excited to announce my selection of the next Wheeling commander. Please join me in congratulating Lt Col Paul Hicks on his appointment at commander of the Wheeling Composite Squadron. Lt Col Hicks assumes his new role after already having served in several positions at the squadron level. He also brings with him 30 years of service experience in the U. S. Army Reserve which included two years serving in Iraq. Lt Col Hicks retired from the USAR in 2018 at the rank of Colonel (O-6). On behalf of my command staff, I wish Lt Col Hicks the very best as he embarks on his new command." Capt Wheeler will stay on as the unit's public affairs officer.
The change of command ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Feb 6th, at 1900hrs local. Please join us in celebrating Lt Col Hicks' appointment!

ALCON, Be advised that West Virginia Wing is shifting to a new email platform. All Wing Staff and unit commander email addresses ending with @wvcap.net will be discontinued after the first of the year. It is vital that you update your address books and contact lists during this changeover period. If you currently have an assigned account through the WV gmail system, you should receive notice from Maj Wheatcraft in the next few days. If you do not, contact me ASAP. You will lose your WV gmail access after the first of the year. You will need to provide a personal contact email address. Everyone, please make certain your contact information - including email - is updated on eservices NLT 28 Dec 2018.
ALCON, Today, 15 September, is the deadline for annual award submissions. Anyone in our unit can submit someone's name for an award - even if that person belongs to another unit. Please refer to the instructions Col Moody sent out via email. Pay heed to requirements for each award. Wings decides if the nomination meets criteria; it isn't uncommon for a submitted recommendation to be downgraded to a lower level award, such as a Commander's Commendation turning into a CAP Achievement Award. With the exception of CAP Achievement Awards, which are presented at the unit level, all Awards will be presented during the Awards Ceremony before the start of Conference. (Those that can not attend the Conference to receive their award will be honored on 7 November before the start of our monthly business meeting.) Today is also the deadline for early bird registration. Take advantage of those low prices for Conference and Banquet tickets. And finally, for those wishing to stay overnight, the cut-off date is Thursday, September 28, 2018 for hotel registration. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for all you do for CAP.
ALCON,
Tomorrow evening, Tuesday May 22, we are meeting at 1830 hours at the airport terminal to receive the Total Force Partners mural from the Ohio Wing. This is our meeting for the week; there is NO Wednesday meeting. Those able to help us set up should arrive at the squadron building between 5:00 - 6 p.m. The uniform for cadets is blues. The uniform for seniors is blues or corporate white. If you do not have either, you may wear the corporate polo with grey slacks. New members without uniforms, or parents of cadets wishing to join us, should dress appropriately for a business setting. Those wishing to travel with the painting on Wednesday need to call me by Tuesday night. Seating in the van is limited. We currently have three members going. Also, some of you have seen today's headline, "Just as it comes home to Wheeling, historic painting is discovered to be damaged". Thank you for your concerned texts and calls. I am pleased to report that this is NOT the #TotalForcePartners painting. *whew* - Capt Wheeler, SQ/CC ALL,
