Squadron 150 is pleased to announce the promotion of SM Stefan Juling to the grade of second lieutenant. Juling was motivated to join Civil Air Patrol (CAP) after seeing a presentation done by Squadron 150 commander Maj. David Powell at the flying club where they are both members. Juling said, "I thought as a private pilot Civil Air Patrol can give me the chance to learn more skills and stay proficient; then I learned how much more CAP is actually involved in Emergency Services and Aerospace Education. Those fundamentals of CAP have given me a platform to give back to the community by helping and serving others."

Outside of CAP Juling's background is in hospitality and wine. He has worked for more than 15 years as a wine director in hotels, restaurants, cruise ships and concert venues. The great Southern California weather and a fascination of airplanes motivated him to earn his private pilot's certificate two years ago.
Within CAP Juling currently serves as an Assistant Aerospace Education Officer and is a Mission Scanner and Mission Radio Operator trainee. Squadron 150 Deputy Commander 1st Lt. Rommel Anacan said, "Second Lieutenant Juling has been very valuable to Squadron 150 since joining Civil Air Patrol in November 2017 and this promotion is very well deserved!"
