A Successful Return to the NAS Kingsville Simulator

By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP
Kingsville, Texas— The regular meeting of the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron was forgone in favor of the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron’s most prolific Aerospace Education Activity...the Simulator Activity at NAS Kingsville.

The Project officer for this activity is Major Fidel Alvarado. Major Alvarado maintains friendly contact with Simulator instructor, Mr. Bert Alvarez and had planned a trip to the SIMULATOR late last month.

The unit must yield only to the US Navy training schedule, but the activity was not effected by such factors.

Corpus Christi CAP Officers and Cadets met at Doctor’s Regional Hospital on 17 July 2007 at 1600 hrs at which time they trekked to NAS Kingsville where they encountered members of the Brahma Cadet Flight.

This occasion, it was possible for members of proximate units to participate and invitations were extended to Brownsville and Victoria’s CAP Units. Brownsville could not attend due to logistics, however Victoria was able to send two cadets and as many CAP Officers.

“This is good,” said Capt Leonard Saddler, “this is very meaningful.”
