I received the Wheeling Composite Squadron's inspection report this evening. How fortuitous is it that our report comes on the eve of our awards ceremony? Awards are a way of acknowledging someone for going the distance. The result is a piece of paper and a ribbon for your chest. "The commander recognizes my efforts!" However, flowery words and ribbons for the individual do not always properly reflect the unit as a whole. It takes a SUI to shine a bright light on the squadron itself. Our squadron was inspected by the Wing IG personally, and he was thorough in his approach. The inspection team assessed all eleven areas vital to unit functioning. Nine areas were deemed "effective" and two were "highly effective"; no discrepancies were found during inspection. That's, well, damn fantastic! We did have one minor area of concern: too many of us aren't working towards rating increases in our specialty track. For some, it comes down to just taking the online test; for others, it requires much hoop-jumping. I would like to see some hard effort put into those "None" ratings. And, yes, we need to recruit. All-in-all, this report is a glowing testament to the hard work put in by our personnel. Your creativity, zeal, and determination make the 049 what it is today. More so, your teamwork allows us to function effectively as a whole. Look at how far we've come - look at how much farther we can go! Let's make 2019 our best year yet. We'll ramp up recruiting efforts at schools, raise funds for our cadets, and encourage more of our neighbors to get involved in CAP. All the while, we'll train and broaden our knowledge. Serving as your commander is a privilege that I don't take lightly. Thank you for all you do for CAP, and for the WV049.
