For those of you not aware of Civil Air Patrol, the Grover Loening is a pretty big achievement. Only about 350 of these are issued a year (out of ~35,000 senior members currently in CAP), and affords the rank of Major. It's the culmination of approx. 5 years of work (on average) and includes a lot of travel, several weekends, and most include at least one full week devoted to either a senior activity like a Region Staff College or as a senior leader at a cadet activity.

As a fellow Loening recipient, I salute Mr. Gotay on his achievement.
