I'm sure that you will enjoy your time here with us in Estes Park. I am especially pleased that so many distinguished guests are able to be with us again this year. Please take the time to stop by and show your support of our defense partners at their booths. They are vital resource to our continued success. As my tenure as your president comes to a close, I reflect on the job and how well I think I did. I started out strong. I spent an average of one to two hours per week on Association business. I was carrying my weight. I felt good about my performance. As the year progressed I began to have conflicts with other demands on my time (wife, employer, Church Building Task Force which I lead, daughter's basketball program, and Services Flight). I became less satisfied with my performance. You might be asking why do I told you this? Because I firmly believe in this organization. This Association is a vital force in the efforts to keep America strong. The man or women who desires to hold the office of president needs to understand that the position will require one to two hours per week for the entire year. Additionally, there will be days you will need to take time off from your employer and or a Saturday to represent the Association. It's not really a lot, if this is the only volunteer organization you are active in. I say this not to scare anyone away from running, because I have found it to be very rewarding. I just want you to be ready for the challenge. During the past year the Association has continued to support and promote the National Guard members as a vital part of our community and defense of our country. Our Legislative committee, Co-chaired Col. Jim Hagenson and Capt. Ralph Trenary, continued to be very active in the representation of the Colorado National Guard at the State Capitol. They have developed programs to educate our legislators, ensuring they are aware of the important role the Guard plays, both for the State as well as the Nation. Our Executive Director, Russ Kraus, continued to give freely of his time to ensure that our Association was heard at the National level. Through his link with the Adjutant General's office, Russ continued to make Colorado's voice hear in NGAUS, EANGUS, our Defense Partners, and out congressional delegation. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ed Brand for his tireless efforts to provide the board with sound financial advice. A special thanks to Dave Cook for all the hard work that he does for us in the office. I would also like to recognize and thank all of you have served on committees. In closing, I want to restate that I firmly believe in what this Association stands for and it has been with pride and honor that I have represented you. Sincerely, 01#742 WILLIAM T. PARKS.

Westerdahl The Adjutant General National Guard Association of Colorado 6848 South Revere Parkway Englewood, Colorado 80112-6703 Dear Fellow Association Members: I am pleased to welcome you to the 12th annual conference of the National Guard Association of Colorado. As a long time member of the Colorado National Guard, I have witnessed a number of changes over the years. Most I have observed with a great deal of pride: some I've seen bore a great deal of concern. For the Colorado National Guard to remain viable into the next century, we must strongly support our Association. I feel that there are two key areas to effective support that go hand in hand: membership and participation. As we work to upgrade our equipment or lobby to preserve and improve benefits, a strong and active membership tells our state and federal legislators that Colorado is committed to their Guard. Joining us again this year for our conference is Colorado's Executive Committee of the Employer Support to the Guard and Reserve. These dedicated men and women are the liaison between the Guard and civilian employers. They help educate Guard members as to their responsibilities to their employers and help employers understand the law and how it effects you as a member of the Guard. We have contributed a lot to our communities over the past year. Through several programs such as GuardCare Colorado and the Youth Conservation Corps, we have made a difference in our community. We still have a lot to accomplish as our nation's Community Based Defense Force. I ask you to make a difference by volunteering your time and talent. Working together, we can make Colorado an even better place to live and work. Sincerely, . - Cd>01@illiam A.

Kraus Executive Director National Guard Association of Colorado 6848 South Revere Parkway Englewood, Colorado 80112-6703 Dear Mr. Kraus: Please extend my greetings to all who are attending the joint meeting of the National Guard Association of Colorado and the Colorado Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. I would have liked to have been with you for 'Springtime in the Rockies." In the course of your meeting, there will be much discussion about increased reliance on the National Guard and Reserve. This has been one of the busiest, highest OPTEMPO and most complicated periods of"peace" our Total Force military has ever known. And, as you know, the National Guard and Reserve are fully engaged. No longer considered to be the backup forces of last resort, the Guard and Reserve are, increasingly, being counted upon to respond quickly and decisively for missions that draw on their strengths, to help compensate for the smaller Active force, to maintain a robust defense capability and to control our peacetime costs. Increased reliance also includes the assignment of new missions to the Guard and Reserve -- such as the Air National Guard's first ever unit to support U.S. Space Command that is right here in Colorado -- the 137th Space Warning Squadron activated in January! As we place more reliance on the Guard and Reserve, we know that we cannot place unreasonable burdens on families and employers. In this regard, I would welcome feedback from this conference on how we're doing with respect to the concerns of Guard members, their families and their employers. Believe me, we take feedback seriously: -- It was feedback from the field that led us to propose the first-ever DoD family readiness directive that now makes it a command responsibility to have Guard and Reserve families prepared in advance of a mobilization; -- It was feedback from the field that led us to create an "Employer Action Council," a valuable forum for dialogue between employers and the military leadership; -- It was feedback from the field that led us to develop a proposal for mobilization insurance that has now become law and will take effect in October of 1996. And, -- It was feedback from the field that also led us to develop a proposal for an employer tax credit that is still being fine-tuned. I know that you will have a productive and informative meeting. As your discussions focus on the role of today's National Guard, remember that it was only twenty-five years ago that the concept of a fully-integrated Total Force -- Active, Guard and Reserve -- was introduced. As the Total Force turns twenty-five, I think you will agree that it's alive and well and working like never before! The Colorado National Guard is living, breathing proof that it has worked magnificently. You and your colleagues across the nation are the day-to-day "compensating leverage" that give us the edge we need to meet the uncertainties and the OFITEMPO of the post- Cold War world.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS 66027-0428 NGACO '96 EANGUS Update 14 I've tried to keep everyone as up-to date as possible throughout the course of the year so this will probably be the shortest article I'll have. The 1995 National Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States was held in Orlando, Fla. from August 27-31 last year was a success. There were 13 individuals in atten- dance with seven of them being new to the conference scene; it was a learning experience and an enjoyable one for all concerned. We heard some pretty impressive speakers: Mr. Adrian Cronauer, of "Good Morning Arti Vietnam" fame, Senator Bob Dole, Command Sgt. Maj. Pense, Command Sgt. Major for the Army National Guard and Chief Master Sgt. Brown, Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Air #.-I.~Il National Guard. Both are stationed at the National Guard Bureau. There were four of us who attended the Area VI Mid-winter Caucus that was held in Reno, Nev. on January 12 & 13 this year. EANGUS President, Master Sgt. Blaine Ross was a guest speaker and provided us with some information on the current state of affairs for EANGUS. It appears that throughout the nation, there is a problem with memberships in their state associa- tions. So, we aren't the only ones. ~ That covers most of the major events from the enlisted side of the house since our last state h~ conference. Hopefully, my other articles throughout the year in the Voice of the Warrior, have A ~%.'~ provided you with any other information that is not covered. There is one major event coming up that I want to mention, it's the 25th National EANGUS ~ Conference from August 25-29, this year in Sioux Falls S.D. The registration fee is $70 per per- ~ son and includes the banquet. Since this the 25th Anniversary Conference, the folks from South Dakota have some memo- rable activities planned. I have reserved a block of rooms that are going fast. If you are interest- ed in attending, please contact me at (303) 273-1714. At the moment I have a commitment from Chief Master Sgt. Pete Cavallero, Area VI Director and a member of the Arizona Air National Guard, that they will provide us with air transportation. I will need definite numbers to get us enough seats, so call as soon as possible. ~~~ There are some other things going on that deserve mentioning We are trying to have some fund raising activities before August to raise money for the National Guard Association of Colorado and help off-set the cost of sending a delegation to the National Conference. One of ~ the things we are planning is a car wash tentatively set for May 11. There will be a flyer at the ~ conference to provide more details. We have some other ideas but nothing definite yet. If any- .1. one out there has some ideas or can help us raise money, please let me know. Our National Office is helping each state association to raise money by having a raffle with .25 cents of each ticket sold going to the state association. Tickets are $1 each. We will start sell- ing the tickets after the National Guard Association of Colorado drawing at the conference. Help us out and buy a few! --Master Sgt.

For the first time in almost 16 years a new adjutant general was at the head. Brig. Gen. William A. Westerdahl, the new adjutant general for the Colorado National Guard, led the delegation to the 117th General Conference of the National Guard Association of the United States at Cleveland, Ohio. The Ohio National Guard and the city of Cleveland were outstanding hosts. The single biggest issue at the conference was the vote to increase the National Guard Association of the United States dues. Dues had not be raised in approximately 10 years. Very few professional association dues are as low as those of the National Guard Association of the United States. There were a lot of anxious moments leading up the vote. However the membership, with strong support by the Company Grade Officers knew what needed to be done, and passed the dues increase. Nearly 150, lieutenants, captains and warrant officers, attended the Company Grade Officer caucus. It was one of the best ever. Kentucky Air National Guard member, Capt. Barry Metcalfe, who is a state senator, spoke to the caucus about getting out and participating in your community and government. Capt.. Kim Bell of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard was elected Company Grade Officer Executive Council Representative (Air). A fun event that some attendees got to do, was to attend an Cleveland Indians baseball game at their new park, Jacob's Field. While we were there the Indians played the Baltimore Orioles. Cal Ripkin had broken the major league record for consecutive games played and they clinched their first division title in 40 years. A real treat for baseball fans. The City of Cleveland went crazy. Once again tireless planning and preparation, for the Conference, by our National Guard Association of Colorado Executive Director Russ Kraus, made everything go off with out a hitch. Although people may think these conferences are such a breeze much time and effort must be expended prior to the conference to make it seem that way. We were will taken care off. It is time to start planning for the 118th General Conference in Washington, D.C. on August 31 through September 3 this year. This conference will be dedicated to retiring U.S. Representative and former Major General in the Mississippi Army National Guard, G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery. For some 30 years, Congressman Montgomery has been a tireless fighter for the National Guard. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and Chairman of the Veteran's Affairs Committee. He played a key role in virtually every Guard benefit we now have and has kept many from being taken away. If you have attended college as a guardsmen, you probably go money from the G.I. Bill that bears the name. If you are a guardsmen, going to attend just one conference in your entire career, this is the one you should make the effort and sacrifice to attend. --lst Lt. T.I.

NGACO '96 Membership Matters Someone suggested that I start my article out with something on a positive note, so I'm going to take her suggestion. I have a couple of things that are going on that can help us out in our "Membership Matters." There is a program that Area VI has been running for the past few years that seems to work for some of the states. It's called "Challenge of the Rockies." The program is basically a contest among the seven states that make up Area VI (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah). It runs from August through December of each year and the goal is to increase the membership drives for the last four months of the year. The state that has the biggest increase in membership wins a prize. For example, one year, the first place prize was a painting done by someone in the Montana Guard. Each year there are prizes given to the top threes states. We have yet to place, maybe this year we'11 be in first place..When we win something, we will do our best to get it displayed at all the units throughout the state. Wouldn't be nice to have the "Bragging rights" over the other states? Other states really have a lot of enthusiasm when it comes to their associations. Aren't you envious? Why can't we get that same kind of participation from the members of our units? Maybe a few of you will approach me and let me know , what your ideas and opinions are. I'm sure you all have some, you just need to voice them. We are still actively working on things in our state to increase our numbers. At our last committee meeting, a couple of us tried to make some calls to individuals that had not renewed their membership. Unfortunately, we picked a bad day to do it because the telephones weren't working correctly. It was hard to tell if we weren't getting through because of that or if an individual's number wasn't correct. We did manage to speak to about three people and actually got a commitment from them for their renewals. Perhaps not a big thing, but it shows that not everyone has lost interest That forgetfulness might be the problem. I hope that's all it is and a reminder will get you back on track. As you can see by the following table, our figures have dropped for the second year in a row. As of March 1995 Army Enlisted: 906 Army Officer: 346 Total: 1252 Air Enlisted: 247 Air Officer: 167 Total: 414 Total: 1666 As of November 1995 Army Enlisted: 869 Army Officer: 297 Total: 1166 Air Enlisted: 238 Air Officer: 140 IQial: 378 Total: 1544 As of March 1996 Army Enlisted: 914 Army Officer: 332 Total: 1228 Air Enlisted: 161 Air Officer: 124 Total: 299 Total: 1527 Last year, it was reported at the conference that our numbers had decreased by nearly 200 from the year before. This year, our membership currently stands at 1527; that's a decrease of 139 members. In the last "Voice of the Warrior" (September - December 1995) we published the figures in the above table. You can see what the big picture is and do a comparison for yourself. As you can see, for every step forward, we take two steps back and that's just not good business. Common sense shows you that our numbers are decreasing; that's obvious. The only thing that isn't obvious, is the reason why this decrease is continuing to happen. In our last article, we tried to get some motivation going. Only time will tell if it will work. Are we really asking too much for our soldiers and airmen to belong to an association that is here just for their benefit? We don't think so. Please go back to your units and tell your fellow guard members about us and convince them that it is worth the cost of their annual dues to belong. Or, like someone once told me, "You don't miss the air that you breath; until you don't have it." Change that to our association and you get the picture. Well, we'll close for now, but trust me, until things improve in our "Membership Matters," we will be back. There's , only one way for you get us to stop preaching and that's for us to get 100% membership. We believe that can happen. Do you? --Master Sgt.
