It's the 40th anniversary of the first space shuttle orbital launch and landing. The photo is of me underneath one of the shuttles while it was inside for maintenance.

Delighted to have written the cover story for the current issue of Volunteer Magazine, a 7-page look at how the Civil Air Patrol's pandemic response has surpassed all the organization's other efforts over the last 80 years, including World War II and Deepwater Horizon missions.

@LeckroneBennett Re: "Flying big part of local family" story, the FAA issues a "certificate," not a "license."

CAP's PIOs should now be pulling together examples of their 2018 accomplishments. The portal for Balsem Award submissions will open by April 15. #CivilAirPatrol

@pscholz_photo12 Regarding your story, "Congressional Gold Medals posthumously awarded to members of Civil Air Patrol," Congress awarded 1 medal to CAP as a whole, and it's at The Smithsonian. Medals given to surviving families are replicas.

@MDWG_CC What's the movie this year?

[Steven Solomon @LtColSolomon]

It took me longer to complete than I had wanted, what with so many deployments all over the country last year, but I've finally finished - I've got my "Ethics, Plagiarism and Copyright Certificate" from the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, a non-profit school for journalism.

We're starting to review Wing and Region PA Plans that have been submitted to NHQ/PA, as required annually by CAPR 190-1. There are no awards for being last! (And a missing or un-reviewed plan will get you a ding during a Compliance Inspection.) https://t.co/lHQVjKYdWL

@MDWG_CC Bravo!

[Steven Solomon @LtColSolomon]

Can you please consider adding an entry for the Civil Air Patrol? It's the official US Air Force Auxiliary and many reporters get our name and purpose wrong. #APStyleChat

[Steven Solomon @LtColSolomon]

Busy week coming up -- giving PAO/PIO presentations for COWG and MDWG. Two of my favorite states! #CivilAirPatrol

[Steven Solomon @LtColSolomon]

AP is seeking input for its next Stylebook, so now is the time for PAOs/PIOs to suggest they add "Civil Air Patrol." https://t.co/iShEAQ6LQN

[Steven Solomon @LtColSolomon]

Just finished one of two PPTs I'm going to use at the COWG PAO/PIO Academy on Nov 5 at the US Air Force Academy. https://t.co/HvDZhFea7A

Bravo! @MDWG_CC @MDWGCAP

I'm excited to be co-instructor at a pre-conference workshop for FEMA/EMI G291 JIS/JIC. A few seats are still open.
