Maj Gen Mark E. Smith has recently released a video explaining the importance of Capturing Civil Air Patrol History.
Mark E. Smith on Capturing Civil Air Patrol History
A few comments that we have read found it odd that it would be the National Commander who had to add his weight to the importance of this task. It appeared that Frank Blazich was not getting cooperation because of his attitude, abuse and past ethics violations that have been exposed in Skip Munger’s News of the Force and on AuxBeacon. It also appears that AuxBeacon is not getting sufficient support from Mark Smith in how it captures the every-day history regarding commander abuse, humiliating aircraft accidents and suicides, or pedophiles and their co-dependents in Civil Air Patrol.
Mark Smith says: “We are creating history every day. We need help on capturing that history.”
Well, that’s exactly what Skip Munger and you have been doing, no?
Please add the video of Smith stressing the need for your day to day help, here.
As I mentioned in my comment, your most recent story on Jeff O’Hara, Frank Blazich and Wreaths Across America was effective. Perhaps TOO effective in that Frank needed to dole out more materials to compensate. Your other readers mentioned the following points and I concur with them.
They wrote:
FrankDole: “Just after you released this, more than one CAP member noticed that Doctor Evil Bird dropped some new CAP history documents into one of Civil Air Patrol’s Social Media History Groups. He’s workin’ it! He’s doling out docs on the stingy to keep himself relevant and combat any negative press on himself.”
and
EagleStars: “Did Frank Blazich fail to coordinate with wings to preserve Civil Air Patrol history during his tenure? Or did he, perhaps, take a lesson from Jim Shaw and collect it into his personal files to be distributed piecemeal at times of his choosing so that he could hold on to his authority longer?”
Parazich: “…Blazich responded today with a story on CAP News to glorify that he is still relevant. It’s another one of his silly historical rants.”

My understanding of this was shared earlier today in a comment that you published.
Frank Blazich has been milking a former CAP member and convicted felon for his collection pieces. William Kidney was convicted on July 11th 2003 and again on January 25th 2006 for possessing child pornography. He even made a nod to Kidney in his 2014 CAP Insignia Booklet, well after we all warned him.
Blazich also milks other out-of-favor CAP people…
Those statements are true. A few years ago, Frank Blazich found former Civil Air Patrol member William Kidney and saw an opportunity to elevate himself by gathering useful information from him. You already exposed this, but the corrupt CAP leaders are masters at ejecting old members with memories in exchange for new members tabula rasa.
Frank Blazich thanks William Kidney

My mother would say about the company you keep, “lie down with sleeping dogs you get up with fleas”. Also, you are known by the company you keep.
I would think if he was smart enough to graduate from college, then he should be smart enough to know the dangers involved with keeping company with criminals. But at the same time, filth tends to flock together.
It looks like you are releasing comments again. Do the math on Smith boy Frank Blazich’s son. He quickly married on August 16th 2019 and on March 3rd 2020 out popped his son. For a man who’s orchestrated some CrAP cover-ups and has mocked the wives of many members, he forgot to cover his own ugly member.
Why did you permit this comment to go through? It seems kind of low, no?
[Admin: The first filter is whether or not the comment is true. It is true. The second is whether the information is public. The information was already public. The third filter is whether the individual is unfairly targeted. We have all the material from Skip Munger’s News of the Force and from later contributions that have been submitted.
It is the unanimous consensus among all who have read the Frank Blazich file that he is getting as good as he gave.]
You all need to change Blazich’s sub-title to “Screwer of Things.” LOL
No need to keep bashing him. EVERYONE knows he is a joke!
He knows that he’s a pile of dung. He just doesn’t care.
Met him at the national conference. Such an odd bird. Walked like a penguin and talked like a robot. Brass have him well programmed.
I just got my $600 stimulus payment! Woo-hoo! But its hardly enough to buy a good blow up doll of Frank and a bottle of lube to cozy up to the Commie Air Patrol. These socialists need to pony up more cheddar if they want my support.
Way too many pedophiles in Civil Air Patrol.
Reports have led me to investigate how Frank Blazich so rapidly rose to Colonel in the Civil Air Patrol. I can tell you that CAP National became desperate to attract PhDs of any caliber and escort them past the pettiness and jealousy of the lower level unit commanders.
Not all PhD’s are ethical or even sane for that matter. Some are proven sociopaths. Based on conversations that I’ve had with people at Maxwell who would suffer if they went on the record, I predict that Doctor Blazich will be a painful thorn in the side of Civil Air Patrol and Wreaths Across America for many years to come.
A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog knows one important thing.
I would like to dip Mark Smith’s shiny head in oil and rub it all over my body while the entire membership watches from a safe distance. An overpriced Wreath Across his head would look dashing too.
[Admin: The editors usually reject these kinds of comments, but I told them that comic relief was needed.]
I am a cadet who has had to move from one state to another. I just came up against a [redacted redacted] of a mother senior member lying and cheating to hurt other members so that her son will advance faster through the ranks. I asked about this with a relative now in college AFROTC and she laughed and made some suggestions even to look at the stories, complaints and termination reports you have here. She showed me software to protect myself as some CAP seniors had shown her two years ago.
Her opinion is that Civil Air Patrol is now a classic case study in sick, toxic relationships that occur in cult-like clubs.
The articles here are so tragicomic that I can no longer look my [discount store] day-jobbing commander in the face without laughing. Each week, more are catching on. How stupid to allow reprisals against sharp members who find an outlet here for decades to come.
Could one of these three men intimidate Mary or AJ to change their minds about Wreaths Across America being a scam?

That Col Mark E. Smith, USAF Retired, could end his noble career mired in the filthy mess of Civil Air Patrol is sad. If only he had read CAP-USAF Inspector General Allan T. Stein’s book warning what could happen.
