51st CBCS inspection yields outstanding results Published April 15, 2013 By Captain Daniel Boyarski 689th Combat Communications Wing Safety chief ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Perfection isn't something that just happens every day. Perfection takes time, effort and hard work. How much hard work? A Logistics Compliance Assessment Program inspection team from Air Force Space Command visited the 51st Combat Communications Squadron March 4 through 8. The inspection yielded a rating of outstanding. During the LCAP, about 15 inspectors visited the unit and looked into dozens of commander, maintenance, training and logistics programs. Those programs ranged from family-care plans to communications security. Not only that, but personnel were evaluated on task performance. "The 51st Combat Communications Squadron put in countless hours of prep work getting ready for the Consolidated Unit Inspection and Logistics Compliance Assessment Program," said Col. Bill Waynick, 5th Combat Communications Group commander. "The monumental achievement of earning a 100 percent compliant, outstanding rating on the LCAP validates all the hard work and long hours the Airmen of the 51st CBCS put forth." The unit spent the last eight months preparing for the inspection. They worked day in and out to make sure everything was in-line with technical orders, checklists and AFIs. Their hard work paid off in spades. The inspectors found zero errors. "The first and only squadron in the history of Air Force Space Command to got a 100 percent and an Outstanding on an inspection - that's as good as it gets," said Col. Joseph Scherrer, 689th Combat Communications Wing commander. Col. Waynick added, "The LCAP team even went back to the squadron after its initial evaluation to try and find a weakness, but the 51st CBCS just responded with even more success stories. All of the 5th CCG are proud of Maj. Eric Schmidt, Chief Master Sgt. Shawn Wise, and the entire 51st CBCS team on this unprecedented accomplishment. "I couldn't be prouder of all the Airmen in the 51st," said Wise. "It was a complete team effort, and we accomplished something that has never been done before and may not be repeated."
