Below is a summary of the great articles you will find in the April-June issue of the CAP Volunteer. There are two videos included as well. One captures the excitement of the New York Stock Exchange bell ringing (page 6) and the other features a CAP encampment in South Korea (page 56). I hope you enjoy reading our phenomenal stories of service, dedication and commitment and that you will find innovative ways to make the magazine available to members who do not have online access. Sincerely CHARLES L. CARR, JR. Major General, CAP National Commander

C/2d Lt Devyn Williams, the first element leader, is the only cadet visible during inspections, as their alignment was perfect
During innovative drill, the cadets formed two circles around C/Maj Zobel and marched in opposite directions

The Empennage* FEMA is looking for a few good cadets, they just dont know it.
Actually, FEMA would like nominations for their Youth Preparedness Council and our CAP cadets fit their requirements quite well. Please see their web site for more information, http://www.ready.gov/youth-preparedness. Steven J. Trupp. Program Manager, Cadet Programs, Civil Air Patrol
*The empennage, also known as the tail or tail assembly, of most aircraft gives stability to the aircraft, in a similar way to the feathers on an arrow.
