Not only will this about doing RCAF outlines above. This help us align ourselves business on both the is important, but why? with the direction of the Commander, but it will help us to further focus our collective efforts on the important elements which lead to our success. By being more agile, we will be better postured to adapt to the changes in our environment. Whether economic, political, social or environmental, we all know there can be challenges with constant change. By being agile, we stand to better react and respond to these challenges. One of the Commander’s lines of effort in adhering to his vision is to “better harness the intellectual capital potential of the RCAF”. The Wing Chief and I are firm believers that 4 Wing members are some of the most highly skilled members in the CAF. When you combine and consider the intellectual capacity with the work done by the entire Cold Lake defence team, you begin to see how we can contribute to the common goals of the RCAF. We use our shared intellect and training to solve problems each and every day. Sometimes those problems are routine; others are not, but by being agile, and reacting logically to all challenges, we can help contribute to overall mission success. Take note of this new change and direction to our shared mission and vision statements; it may help to realign your efforts, either as an individual or within your teams. The Wing Chief and I also invite you to further review all of the Commander’s goals, along with his mission and vision, and seek out ways you can help integrate them in maintaining 4 Wing Cold Lake as the preferred location to work and live.

Women in the military have come a long, long way since the early 70s. The paper ran stuff we would nowadays consider highly objectionable: a cartoon of a “gay” Easter Bunny and one of Santa Claus giving a Nazi salute. The base theatre occasionally ran movies of questionable artistic merit, targeted to a very specific audience (if you know what I mean, and I think you do). T-bone steaks were $1.39 per pound in 1971; butter was 70 cents per pound, apples 29 cents per pound. The Courier used to publish monthly, in à titre individuel ou en tant qu’équipe. L’adjudant-chef de l’Escadre et moi-même vous invitons aussi à examiner plus en détail tous les objectifs du commandant de l’ARC, de même que ses énoncés de mission et de vision, et de chercher des manières de les intégrer à votre travail afin que la 4e Escadre Cold Lake demeure un endroit préféré pour travailler et vivre. broadsheet – pages twice the size of the tabloid format we use today. For all its shortcomings, The Courier of its day was an excellent reflection of its time and no doubt served the base very well. I hope in 45 or 50 years people will say the same of our efforts. If anyone feels like looking through a bit of CFB Cold Lake history, drop in or give us a call. From the Editor’s Desk NEWS Tuesday, February 16, 2016 The Courier News & Publishing Page 3 Family Support a Priority for Exercise Puma Strike Jeff Gaye Support for families is a high priority as members from 4 Wing units prepare to deploy to Florida on Exercise Puma Strike. The month-long annual exercise is an opportunity for 410 Squadron to take advantage of favourable weather and log necessary flying hours. The chief objective is for students on Fighter Pilot Course 56 to achieve their necessary training. Maj Craig Ekstrom of 410 Squadron said that several units are contributing personnel to the exercise. Support for families is available through each member’s respective unit, MFRC or through the deployment’s rear party which is made up primarily of 410 Squadron personnel. “Members will be briefed that if they so desire, they can sign their families up for support through the MFRC website,” Maj Ekstrom said. Typically at this time of year a family might need help clearing snow, but Maj Ekstrom said the rear party is able to help with other requirements. The operation order for the deployment includes contact information for rear party personnel, Wing Chaplains, and for supervisors in the deployed group. Personnel will depart and return at varying times depending on their role in the deployment, Maj Ekstrom said. Most members will be away during the late February to late March period. In addition to the 410 Squadron personnel, members from 401 and 409 Squadrons will participate as a force generation effort and students from 10 FTTS will gain training and experience. “It’s important for us to go to locations where we can maximize flying hours,” Maj Ekstrom said. “We tend to get a lot of flying accomplished on this exercise, not just because of the flying weather but because the aircraft perform better and break less in warmer climates.” Les familles, une priorité pendant l’exercice Puma Strike Jeff Gaye Au moment où des membres des unités de la 4e Escadre s’apprêtent à se rendre en Floride pour participer à l’exercice Puma Strike, l’appui aux familles est une priorité absolue. L’exercice annuel d’une durée d’un mois est une bonne occasion pour donner aux membres du 410e Escadron l’occasion de profiter du beau temps et d’inscrire à leur carnet les heures de vol nécessaires. Le principal objectif consiste à aider les stagiaires du cours de pilote de chasse 56 à obtenir l’entraînement nécessaire. Le Maj Craig Ekstrom du 410e Escadron affirme que plusieurs unités envoient du personnel dans le cadre de cet exercice. L’appui pour les familles est offert par l’entremise des unités respectives des militaires, du CRFM ou du détachement arrière du déploiement, composé principalement de membres du 410e Escadron. « Lors des séances d’information, les militaires seront informés que s’ils le désirent, ils peuvent inscrire leur famille sur le site du CRFM afin d’obtenir du soutien », souligne le Maj Ekstrom.

Member of: CNW The Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative (Dallaire Initiative) is enlisting Canadian veterans in its global fight against using children as soldiers with the launch of the Veteran Trainers to Eradicate the Use of Child Soldiers (VTECS) program. Delivered with the support of Wounded Warriors Canada, this program will build on the valuable knowledge, experience and insight Canadian veterans possess to deliver specialized training to prevent the use of child soldiers. "They may have left the battlefield, but Canadian veterans are a needed and valuable partner in addressing a critical security issue of our time, the use and recruitment of children as weapons of war, said LGen (Ret) Roméo Dallaire, founder of the Dallaire Initiative. “Through the VTECS program, we hope to build on their experience and expertise and Josh Boyter LGen (Ret) Roméo Dallaire thanks Wounded Warriors Canada for their contribution to VTeCS. encourage veterans to join me in my organization's fight to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers,” he said. Based out of the Dallaire Initiative's home at Dalhousie University in Halifax, the VTECS program will equip Canadian veterans with specialized skills and knowledge to help deliver the Dallaire Initiative's ground breaking work to prevent the use of child soldiers. Graduates of the VTECS program will help prepare their security sector peers for encounters with child soldiers and strengthen their ability to recognize and interrupt recruitment.

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 The Courier News & Publishing Page 5 Civilian Agency Joins Exercise Frosted Flyer Jeff Gaye Exercise Frosted Flyer wrapped up last week with members of Search and Rescue Alberta (SAR Alberta) training with the 4 Wing Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) team. Capt Ryan Nesbitt, the Officer Commanding 4 Wing GSAR, said that unlike many of the Frosted Flyer trainees, the 13 civilians already had considerable bush experience. “We modified our syllabus to challenge them a bit more,” Capt Nesbitt said. In addition to basic survival techniques, the trainees practiced navigation to a base camp and working in pairs – known in the GSAR world as a “hasty team.” “Rather than dropping them off from a snowmobile, we sent them walking out into the bush,” Capt Nesbitt said. “They had to orient themselves to their surroundings and make their way to a predetermined camp location.” The exercise emphasized the trainees’ teamwork skills. “They all succeeded and learned quite a bit,” he said. The training included a two-hour bushcraft component. This focused on manufacturing tools out of found materials, starting a fire with primitive methods, and knife sharpening techniques. Exercise Frosted Flyer is run primarily to teach winter survival skills to aircrew who may have to eject from an aircraft and parachute into wilderness terrain. It also trains successive generations of survival instructors. The cooperation with SAR Alberta is a continuation of the training GSAR conducts with the Cold Lake Search and Rescue Society (CLSARS). There are some members who volunteer with both 4 Wing GSAR and CLSARS. “We have a lot of opportunities to train together,” Capt Nesbitt said. “Crossover training helps everybody to maintain a certain standard.” Cpl Maillet, Wing Imaging Kelly Harlton teaches members of 4 Wing GSaR how to make their own bushcraft tools.

PERSONNEL SUPPORT PROGRAMS Page 8 The Courier News & Publishing Tuesday, February 16, 2016 Thinking Clearly DeReK COe, HeaLTH PROMOTION MaNaGeR Do you ever find yourself biting your tongue to keep from saying something you know you will regret? This is a good anger and stress management approach, as it prevents you from making things worse. There are times where saying or doing nothing is the best approach. But this approach can only last so long before you explode, especially if you face a problem on a continuing basis, because it doesn’t solve the underlying problem. We need to learn how to manage our anger and stress so we don’t end up having to bite our tongue all the time. Instead, we need to find a way to approach situations in a calm and respectful manner. This is often easier said than done. When something happens to us, whether it’s someone saying or doing something, or a perceived wrongdoing, our bodies release hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These kick-start the fight/flight/freeze response system, our natural response to a real or perceived threat. The problem with this type of response is that it can lead us to say or do something we otherwise wouldn’t. With time and practice, everyone can learn to manage their anger and stress in order to effectively and positively handle situations, despite the release of those stressinduced hormones. If you have a hard time controlling yourself when you become angry or stressed, don’t try learning to handle situations as they happen. Instead, take a few steps back and reflect on situations that have happened in the past. Start with low-intensity situations so you don’t get too Health Promotion Derek Coe & Tammy Buchanan Health Can Be Catching worked up. When reflecting on these situations, take the following aspects into consideration: what was the situation; what were your thoughts at the time; what were your emotions at the time; what were your physical sensations; what actions did you take as a result; and did it result in a positive or negative outcome. We may begin to find patterns as to why start doing the same we become stressed thing for more intense or angry. Usually situations.
