CADET LEADERSHIP COURSE

GUIDE

2016

FOREWORD

Welcome to the Prairie View A&M Summer Cadet Leadership Course. Any Junior ROTC leadership School represents a combined effort on the part of JROTC instructors to pool their efforts and talents to conduct a concentrated learning experience in leadership for the cadets who are or soon will cadet officers. This school will be no different. Leadership excellence will be the cornerstone of this school and the high standards in all areas will help us achieve that goal. This is a cooperative effort, and all ideas will be appreciated and discussed. There are no “only one way” approaches here—we are looking for the best way to support the philosophy of the school.

Our hope is that each senior cadet training instructor, cadet Training Instructor or cadets in training, will rise to new levels in leadership, self-discipline, self-confidence, teamwork, and military excellence so that each JROTC unit in attendance will gain from the experience. As always, safety will underline every activity. But throughout the professional training and competition, we hope that all in attendance will have some fun and lots of camaraderie. Let’s all work together in a positive way to make this experience a productive one. Again, welcome.

Larry Baker, LtColonel USAF (Ret)Commander, Prairie View A&M Cadet Leadership Course

PRAIRIE VIEW A&M CADET LEADERSHIP COURSE

General Information

Background: The concept of a cadet leadership school is almost as old as the JROTC programs. Instructors have long realized that a “finishing school” for most promising cadets will accomplish several things. It will help them hone those skills, which will make them more productive members of their unit. It also provides them with the ultimate test of teamwork as they accomplish goals with cadets from other units. Finally, the cadet leadership school will boost self-confidence and esteem as the graduate achieves a level of achievement above that of many of his peers. It is an effective measure of how well the cadet has internalized the principles and training provided.

Authority for the School: All cadet leadership schools must be officially approved. LtColonel Larry Baker, TX-20054, Brazoswood High School, serves as commander for PVSLS. TX-20021, Thurgood Marshall High School serves as the host unit. An assemble of core units have the authority to operate the school in accordance with Air Force and AFJROTC Summer Leadership School (SLS) / Leadership School (LS) Guide, dated 26 February 2009.

Duration of the School: Prairie View Cadet Leadership Course will normally last five training days with arrival on Tuesday and formally ending on Saturday, around noon. This course will be referred too, in the guide, as PVSLS.

The Guide: The SLS Guide is designed to provide cadets a framework in the planning and execution of PVSLS.

IF YOU OR ONE OF THE OTHER TRAINEES FEEL ILL BEFORE OR DURINGSTRENUOUS EVENTS, TELL ONE OF THE INSTRUCTORS; do not worry about any unfounded fears or repercussions.

SAMPLES OF BEHAVIOR

1. Understand the importance of the information contained in this chapter.

2. Employ the theory of teamwork and show that each trainee can follow the simpleverbal and written instructions contained in this chapter.

3. Be aware of safety and security procedures at all times.

OBJECTIVE: To provide information that will enhance the transition during summer Leadership school.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

During PVAMU Cadet Leadership Course, you will be subjected to many requirements for various reasons. You will be presented with an enormous amount of information at different times as required. This chapter is devoted to emphasizing the importance of much of the information you will be required to know and use during PVAMU Cadet Leadership Course.

1.2 INSTRUCTOR INTRODUCTION

The Cadet Training Instructors (CTIs) act as your immediate supervisors. Each flight will be assigned a CTI team. They are interested in your welfare and are responsible for your flights' well being and success. They have the authority to issue orders and exercise supervisory control. Seek assistance from your CTIs for help with any problems you encounter, whether personal or with your training, if they cannot help you, they will refer you to someone that can.

1.3 METHODS OF HANDLING PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS

We must know your problem before we can solve it. Despite whether it is a personal problem at home or a problem with the dining hall, or a training problem, we must know about it before we can fix it.

1. Use Chain of Command. The Chain of Command is the primary problem solvingchannel you will use while you are in leadership school. Your CTI team should be yourfirst point of contact to help solve a problem. Secondly, see your squadron commander.The squadron commander is next in you chain of command. Problems and complaintsare often best solved at the lowest possible level. Give your Chain of Command anopportunity to solve your problem first.

TRANSISTIONAL INFORMATION

2. If the chain of command does not solve your problem and you are still dissatisfied, askto see your flight advisor. Flight Advisors are located on each floors of yourdormitories. Still dissatisfied, then ask to see the Superintendent and/or the Commanderof the leadership school through the Open Door Policy. The only way we can help youis if you talk to someone in the school.

1.4 SAFEGUARDING VALUABLES

Check your lock to ensure it works. Experience shows that if you do not lock up your valuables, they may be stolen. Do not leave wallets, money, watches, rings, or other valuables (stamps, checks, credit cards, etc.) lying around. Secure all valuables while participating in such activities as physical conditioning, athletics, or any other activity where adequate facilities are not available.

1.5 PROFANITY

Any abusive or vulgar language that degrades or slanders the character, race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, and ethnic background of an individual is not acceptable and will not be condoned in Leadership School. As JROTC cadets, you must leave the “civilian” thoughts and vocabularies behind; develop a sense of professionalism and concern for the feelings and well-being of your comrades.

1.6 BULLETIN BOARD

Your dorm is equipped with a bulletin board. Important notices are posted on the bulletin board that you MUST read at least twice a day. You MUST NOT add, remove, or rearrange items on the bulletin board without permission from an instructor.

1.7 PERSONAL HYGIENE

Group living makes it necessary that you practice certain rules of personal cleanliness and hygiene. Report any unhealthy or unsanitary conditions to the instructors. On a daily basis, bathe, change your underclothing and socks, brush your teeth, and if male, shave as required. Wash your hands any time you use the restroom (latrine); clean and file your fingernails and toenails when needed. Use deodorant and if necessary, foot power. Cleanliness and personal appearance are important factors at all times.

1.8 MILITARY TIME

Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. Midnight is 2400 (twenty-four hundred). One minute after midnight is 0001. One o'clock in the morning is 0100 (zero one hundred). Afternoon hours are 1400 (fourteen hundred), 1500 (fifteen hundred) and so forth. In a time statement such as 1518 (fifteen eighteen) it is 18 minutes after 3:00 in the afternoon. An easy way to compute afternoon and evening time is to add 12. For example, if it is 6:15 in the evening, you would add 12 and have the military time of 1815 (eighteen fifteen).

1.9 DINING FACILITY PROCEDURES

Entry Procedure. Your flight enters the dining facility by "elements." Be sure to remove your hat immediately upon entering and place it where instructed. DO NOT talk to anyone except dining facility personnel or instructors until seated. Student leaders may talk in the performance of their duties, i.e., making corrections on flight members. Once you enter the dining area look for the seater assigned to your flight, then follow his or her instructions and go directly to the table in an orderly manner.

After arriving at the table. Set your tray down when you get to the table and stand behind your chair at the position of attention. Remain at attention until there is someone behind each chair or there is no one behind you. Once all trainees arrive at the table and are at attention, the last trainee to arrive states, "Cadets be seated.” On long, connected tables, all cadets remain standing until the entire flight have arrived and are behind their chairs.

Once seated. Allow those wanting to pray a few moments to do so before starting to eat. Use proper etiquette (manners) whenever you eat, i.e., do not talk with your mouth full, do not chew with your mouth open, etc. You must drink at least two full glasses of water with each meal. You may talk in a low tone with others at your table.

You may return to the serving area for seconds—if sufficient time is available. When finished eating. Two cadets carry two trays each away from the table, their own and one other. Take the trays to the clipper area, then leave the dining facility. Cadets who do not take trays to the clipper area must clean the table before leaving the dining facility. Assemble outside as instructed. DO NOT TAKE ANY FOOD OUT OF THE FACILITY!

. Place your name in the

1.10 PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341, DEMERIT SLIP

The PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341 is used to record discrepancies and to reinforce standards of training in areas such as general performance of duty, military bearing, persona appearance, and respect for authority. It is also use to recognize outstanding performances or achievements. Any instructor, SCTI, CTI or cadet staff personnel may initiate a PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341 for a discrepancy. When pulling a Form 341 for an excellent reason,the pulling official will cross out the word “DEMERIT” in form heading (PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341 DEMERIT SLIP).

If a discrepancy is noted, your CTI will counsel you on the discrepancy. When told by your CTI, initial the cadet’s initials block (located on the second row) to show that you are aware of the discrepancy, and not that you agree with demerit. Always carry at least two properly annotated PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341 on your person, at all times. When one is pulled, it is your responsibility to get another one.

Pulled demerits can have a negative impact on cadets competing for Distinguish Graduate, Honor Graduate or Outstanding Graduate.

1.11 PROCEDURES FOR PREPARING PVSLS AFJROTC FORM 341

Follow the example in Fig. 3-1 and the instructions your CTI gives you. Use a blue or black ink pen and print the appropriate information on your 341

block labeled name. Place your cadet training number in the CDT# block (also referred to as your flight roster number). The second row is self explanatory and requires your flight’s alpha designator and your unit (TX-20016). Cadet’s initials is left blank until a discrepancy is noted.

Fig. 3-1

1.12 DISCIPLINE

1.12a. Military Discipline

Military discipline is that mental attitude and state of training which causes obedience and proper conduct to be instinctive under all conditions. It is founded upon respect for, and loyalty to properly constituted authority.

1.12b. Types of Discipline

There are four different types (levels) of discipline. Each cadet reaches a certain level at a different rate, based on that individual’s experience, both in civilian life and within the JROTC environment.

1. Imposed Discipline - enforced obedience to orders and regulations. Anexample is when your CTI gives you a direct order; there is no choice; youmust obey.

2. Group Discipline is when the goals of the group come before your personalgoals. One example is when an individual chooses to work with flightmembers to help make sure everyone passes. their dorm inspection instead ofworking alone for their own success.

3. Task Discipline happens when the challenging nature of a task encourages anindividual to complete the task even if the only challenge is to finish. Anexample would be completing your assigned duties exactly as required bydirectives or standards.

4. Self-discipline (sometimes the hardest to achieve) is the willing andinstinctive habit of obedience to accepted rules, or inward sense of

responsibility that causes a person to do what they should without being told or watched. Simply, self-discipline is “doing what we should at all times.”

1.13 TEAMWORK GROUP DYNAMICS

Teamwork can be defined as "a joint action by a group of people, in which group unity and efficiency are placed above individual interests.”

Group dynamics is much the same as teamwork but on a larger scale. It involves many individuals working together to achieve a common goal in which QUALITY is the desired outcome.

Understanding the importance of teamwork, group dynamics, and the close coordination necessary to get the mission accomplished requires recognizing group over individual achievement. For instance:

1. An individual's performance may exceed standards, but that person's individual effortis tarnished if it demonstrates a lack of concern for the performance of others, or ofthe team as a whole (teamwork).

2. If an element leader's personal performance is error free in an evaluated area and thatof his/her element is poor overall, self-centeredness may have replaced concern andresponsibility for group performance (teamwork)

3. An example of group dynamics may be when the entire flight, along with the otherflights, works together to achieve a quality performance for their squadron at aparade.

The greatest qualities you can reinforce are individual efforts that foster teamwork and supports the collective achievement of the team. Be Part of The Solution, Not the Problem.

1.14 RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY

By enrolling in JROTC and participating in leadership school, you agreed to obey the laws (regulations) of JROTC and lawful orders given you by those appointed to positions of authority above you. This includes avoiding making derogatory remarks about superiors or policies with which you may personally disagree. Be loyal; if you cannot say any thing kind about a person, say nothing at all. If you have a genuine complaint, use your chain of command. Respect for authority and discipline go hand-in-hand, but the first one to be acquired must be discipline. Self-discipline involves full voluntary acceptance of authority. Acceptance of authority is not following directions because you like someone—it is accepting that they are in charge and respecting their position of authority. You respect authority when you realize that some things, both pleasant and unpleasant, must be done and that there must be people to see that they are done.

1.15 PERSONAL INTEGRITY

The term "ethics" suggests to some people a very personal, individual standard of philosophy; however, the basic principles of integrity and conduct are guided by a sense of right and wrong. Your "sense of right and wrong” must be such that your behavior and motives are above suspicion. JROTC believes that integrity is important.


6


JROTC could not function without integrity because we have to be able to trust each other to do our jobs. Integrity is a firm adherence to a code of special moral or artistic value. In other words, integrity is honesty. It is doing what you know to be right.

It is not something learned overnight. Most of you have already incorporated integrity into your self-values. Your parents and school teachers have been helping you understand the difference between right and wrong, as long as you can remember. Still. JROTC holds a higher standard of honesty than society demands, so we must begin to build upon the foundation already established. Integrity starts with you and it is an integral part of being in JROTC. Integrity is the cornerstone to the operation of JROTC, along with self-discipline. Personal integrity involves the following attributes:

1. A firm adherence to a code of morals.

2. A total commitment to the highest personal and professional standards, establishinga set of values and adhering to those values and, not tolerating rude behavior.

The following are examples of integrity:

1. Telling the truth — not lying, cheating, stealing, or tolerating anyone who does.

2. Furthermore, integrity involves those special attributes of trust, financialresponsibility, and professional courtesy.

Your integrity must never be questioned. Your peers, supervisors, and instructors must be able to trust you in all situations.

Communication is an important part of any environment, but especially in environments such as leadership school and your home unit. It is extremely important that you practice the ideals of integrity in all of your interpersonal relationships.

Stick to the facts when talking about your personal daily experiences in leadership school, both as an individual and as a flight member. Do not exaggerate when calling home. Don't blame others for problems you create. Starting or passing rumors creates an emotional strain on other members of your flight; they are probably as confused and bewildered as you. Always put yourself in their shoes and see how you would feel if others were talking about you. If you should hear a rumor ask your CTI to either confirm it or tell you the correct information.

1.16 CUSTOMS AND COURTESIES

Customs and courtesies are time-honored traditions practiced by all members of AFJROTC. Some of these traditions have the force of law and some are acts of politeness.

1.16a. Professionalism

No matter what the situation, always present yourself in a professional military manner. Giving respect to others and being respected go hand-in-hand. Remember, "First impressions are lasting impressions.”

7


1.16b. Proper Courtesies

The following scenarios explain the proper procedures to follow while leaving the best possible impression on those you work with, and those in positions of authority.

1. Whenever you speak to an officer, instructor, SCTI or CTI, stand at the position ofattention until they give you further instructions.

2. Answer questions by first stating "Sir/Ma'am," then give the appropriate answer.The exception to this rule is when giving a direct reply, in this case simply state"Yes Sir/Ma' am. "For practice while in leadership school, you must give completereporting statement, i.e., "Sir/Ma’am, cadet (last name) reports as ordered," beforeasking or answering questions.

3. Always walk on the left side and in step with those senior in rank.

4. Carry items in your left hand or on your left shoulder, leaving your right hand freefor saluting,

If outside and you recognize an officer, render the hand salute and give a verbal greeting, i.e,. “Good morning, Sir/Ma’am” (no reporting statement needed at this time). If marching and in charge, continue to march and render a salute. Also, render a verbal greeting when and if you are close enough to the officer.

If outside in a group with no one in charge, the first person to see the officer must call the group to attention, then everyone salutes.

If outside in a group with someone in charge, the person in charge calls the group to attention and salutes for the entire group.

If performing outside details, the person in charge salutes for the group while other cadets continue working,

If marching in a group of four or less, "everyone must salute while continuing to march.

If marching in a group of five or more, the person in charge salutes for the group while continuing to march.

1.17 BORROWING, SOLICITING, AND GAMBLING

Leadership School Staff is prohibited from borrowing, soliciting, or gambling with cadets and/or collecting contributions, gifts, donations, loans, lotteries, raffles, or barters from them. You are also prohibited from soliciting or collecting funds from other cadets except as authorized in writing by the school commander.

1.18 ASSAULTS

During the hours of darkness you are required to travel in groups of two or more. Avoid

6. Do not participate in games of chance played with dice, cards, or other gamblingdevice.

7. You are not permitted to visit or use any concession or campus facility withoutpermission from the school instructor staff.

1.20 FRATERNIZATION

While enrolled in Leadership School, you will not be permitted to engage in any type of relationship with another trainee that may be perceived by others as other than professional.

Public Display of Affection (PDA). The guiding principle in this area is common sense. The primary reason for not displaying affection in public is military bearing. PDA in

uniform is unprofessional and inappropriate. Listed are some specific rules to guide you in the area of PDA during your stay at leadership school.

1. There should be no PDA at any time, anywhere while in uniform or out ofuniform including in the dormitory, the dining hall, and campus facilities.

2. Greeting visiting relatives is perfectly acceptable.

3. Socialization with students attending Prairie View A&M University isprohibited during the leadership school encampment.

1.21 CONSERVATION

Conserve water, lights, and electricity. A good rule of thumb is to turn it off if you're not using it. Conserve food as well. Don't take more food than you can eat.

OVERVIEW

The information contained in this section is very important to your success in AFJROTC Leadership School. The inspection team inspects the dormitory to ensure the overall appearance conforms to current directives and policies, and to ensure you maintain it property. Recorded dormitory inspections are tabulated into your overall final scores.

Due to the limited amount of space it is necessary to require that each item be displayed in a specified manner and area. Although this manual does not give exact inspection requirements, inspections criteria will deal with neatness, cleanliness and orderliness. Your success in leadership school depends largely on your attainment of these goals in the absent of detailed instructions. This will be measured throughout your training with emphasis placed on dormitory arrangement.

Leadership school staff will provide “up-to-date” supplements to dormitory arrangement. Any supplement received will take precedent over material found in this chapter. You will receive daily updates on your inspections results, and ways to improve them.

Clothing items are referred to in a gender-neutral manner unless referring to specifically male or female items. Male specific items are followed with (Male). Female items are followed with (Female).

OBJECTIVE:

Maintain dorm area in accordance with (IAW) general instructions found in this manual and supplemented by leadership school staff.

RULES OF BEHAVIOR

Be able to prepare and maintain personal appearance standards IAW AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel.

Be able to prepare and maintain dorm living areas.

Employ teamwork in properly maintaining dormitory living areas.

Apply material in this manual and understand that responsibility for these tasks lies with the individual cadet.

GRADED INSPECTION PERIODS

Cadets will receive two Open-Ranks inspections (all inspections will be in short sleeve blue uniform), and two dormitory inspections during the training period of PVSLS. The inspections will be Wednesday and Thursday of the camp. Assigned evaluators will conduct

CHAPTER 3

INSPECTIONS

the inspections with no evaluator inspecting the same flight twice. Inspections criteria can change.

13

One of the two CTI's assigned to the flight will assist in the inspection — acting as a scribe in recording the findings. The inspectors and CTI's will meet each day at a predetermined place prior to the open ranks inspection. The CTI will escort the inspector to his/her flight.

INSPECTION PROCESS

INSPECTION FORMS

a. Each cadet will be issued two inspection forms at the beginning of the PVSLS. (seeforms in the “Cadet Toolkit”)

b. Each cadet will be responsible for the security and maintenance of his/her forms. Oneform will be for personal inspection and the second for dormitory inspections.

c. The form used for Personal Inspection will be held in the left hand of the cadet duringopen ranks inspections and presented to the scribe upon the inspector's approach. Aftercompletion of the inspection, the scribe will ensure the forms are turned into thetraining office for scoring and returned to the cadet after the scoring has beenannotated.

d. The Dormitory Inspection Form will be displayed centered on the foot of the cadet'sbed at all times during the duty day.

e. It is the duty of each cadet to ensure he/she has both forms each day, Monday throughThursday. Any form lost, tampered with, or destroyed as result of the action of saidcadet will result in that cadet receiving a score of zero in the area of inspections.

INSPECTION PROCEDURES

Personal Inspection: All cadets will assemble with their flights in a predetermined area. The personal inspection shall be performed in an open ranks formation. The evaluation team will be responsible for conducting the inspection with the flight CTI acting as scribe. The CTI will be responsible to ensure the forms are turned in daily to the training office for scoring.

Each cadet will hold their inspection form in their left hand and will present it to the CTI as the inspecting team approaches.

The training office will establish a schedule for the open ranks inspection by flight and assign inspectors.

Dormitory Inspections: Dormitory inspections will be conducted while the cadets are in their academic classes and not present in their rooms. These inspections are performed by the members of the evaluation team under the supervision of the Chief of Inspections.

DORMITORY

Personal Area

The cadet's personal area consists of the individual's wall locker area, desk area, and area immediately around bed.

3.3

Department of Defense's policy on maltraining and maltreatment strictly forbid and will not tolerate or condone any type of activities in our AFJROTC program.

There are many sources that define and prohibit these activities…Public Law, Article 93 and 128 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, AETCI 36-2216, and AFJROTCI 36-2001:

a. Maltraining: Any training practice not designed to reach a training objective. Examplesinclude unnecessarily embarrassing students in front of their peers, assigning remedialtraining that does not fit the discrepancy, making students do degrading tasks, usingexercise as punishment or assigning remedial training to an entire flight for the actions ofa few students.

b. Maltreatment (verbal): Any language that degrades, belittles, demeans, or slanders anindividual or group based on color, national origin, race, religion, age, ethnic group,gender, or physical stature. Includes, but is not limited to, (1) the use of profanity andany insinuation of immoral, unethical, illegal, or unprofessional conduct; (2) crude,offensive language in rhymes or prose as memory devices (mnemonics); and/or (3)training tools that contain profane words, offensive language, or inappropriate sexual orgender references. Any language that establishes a hostile environment, constitutes andpromotes sexual harassment, or disrespect to men and/or women.

c. Maltreatment (physical): Includes, but is not limited to, poking, hitting, thumping,pushing, grabbing, threats of violence, physical violence, physical intimidation, hazing,or any unnecessary physical contact.

d. Hazing: Hazing is defined as any conduct whereby a military member or members,regardless of service or rank, suffer or are exposed to any activity which is cruel, abusive,humiliating, oppressive, demeaning, or harmful. Soliciting or coercing another toperpetrate any such activity is also considered hazing. Hazing need not involve physicalcontact among or between military members; it can be verbal or psychological in nature.Actual or implied consent to acts of hazing does not eliminate the culpability of theperpetrator.

e. Physical Discipline: Using disciplinary exercises such as push-ups, deep-knee bends,sit-ups, low crawls or any other activity that has the potential to place a student in astrenuous or exhausting position.

Bottom line, at PVSLS, maltraining and maltreating will not be tolerated. This type of mindset has no place in our training philosophy. Any cases of maltraining and maltreating should be reported to the superintendent—immediately.

CHAPTER 4

MALTRAINING/MALTREATMENT POLICY

CHAPTER 5

SAFETY

REFERENCE: PVSLS Heat Stress Policy; PVSLS Emergency Plan

OBJECTIVE:

After reading the General Information, cadets will be able to:

ŸComply with safety rules and promote safe and pleasant conditions for cadets.

ŸDevelop a positive attitude and commitment regarding safety and health.

ŸIndentify infractions of safety rules or training procedures; be aware of hazardous conditions or activities.

ŸReport unsafe conditions and what actions should be taken while the hazard is being corrected.

5.1 GROUND SAFETY

Ground safety is designed to prevent accidents and reduce loss of training time. Do not participate in horseplay, anywhere, any time. Remember, if you damage the dormitory or any of its contents you will pay for the damage. Use hand-rails. Don't run up or down stairs. Report ALL accidents, no matter how minor, to an CTI immediately. If you should injure yourself (e.g., falling in a stairwell) and think you might have an injury to your head, neck, or back, stay where you are. DO NOT move! Stay in the position you have fallen if possible. If able, send someone for help. If not, call for help. If you see someone who might be injured take the following precautions:

a. DO NOT move them; make them lie still.

b. Get help, either by going for help yourself or sending someone else.

1. Report all safety hazards (broken steps, faulty wiring etc.) to an instructor. You mustALWAYS wear some type of footwear (boots, low quarters, gym shoes, shower shoes).Shower shoes will be worn in the shower to help prevent fungus infection. If it becomesnecessary to evacuate the dorm, you MUST NOT evacuate in shower shoes. Stay outof fan rooms, boiler rooms, and electrical circuit breaker boxes, and other similar areas.

2. Neither mix cleaning agents nor use them for other than their specific purpose.

3. Do not handle stray animals, i.e., bats, cats, dogs, raccoons, etc. They carry diseases.

5.2 PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

You must always march at the position of attention unless you are with a visitor or told otherwise. When walking or marching during Leadership School, you will either be alone, in a group, or in a formation. A group will consist of two to five trainees. A formation will consist of six or more cadets.

Alone: If a sidewalk is available, use it. If sidewalks are not available, walk on the left side of the street/road, facing the oncoming traffic.


23

Groups and Formations: When two or more of you are marching together, they must march as a unit two abreast, at attention, properly sized, and in step with each other. One person will be in charge; this cadet or cadet leader will give appropriate marching commands, halt the group/formation at all intersections, check for traffic and assume responsibility for the entire group/formation. If sidewalks are available, use them.

The individual in charge must march no more than four paces from the unit on the side of the unit nearest the traffic. The individual in charge MUST halt the unit before crossing any intersection. Ensure traffic is clear, enter the intersection and march the unit across the street Once the unit has crossed, halt them on the opposite side of the intersection, and only then will the individual in charge leave the intersection.

Road Guards: Use road guards when marching unit contains nine or more cadets, including the individual in charge. Two road guards march six paces in front of the formation, and two road guards march six paces behind the formation. Road guards protect the members of a formation while crossing streets or intersections. They must also warn the individual in charge when hazardous situations exist in the following manner:

1. They raise their hands and march at Mark Time BEFORE entering a hazardousarea.

2. They must not enter a roadway or intersection until the individual in charge directsthem to do so. Road guards are dispatched by the command "Road Guards, Out,"Road Guards double-time to their post in the intersection. Road guards post ineach lane of traffic that approaches the intersection through which the unit ispassing. When posting, road guards assume a position of parade rest, raise theirright arm diagonally with palm facing away from their body and extend and jointheir fingers. When the formation is halfway through the intersection, the rear roadguards automatically relieve the front road guards and return to the front of theunit. Remaining road guards remain in place until they receive the command"Road Guards In." Road guards do not salute while performing duties Theindividual in charge of a unit with nine or more trainees MUST HALT THEUNIT before crossing intersection. After making sure traffic is clear, theindividual in charge enters the intersection and gives the command, "Road GuardsOut," Once the unit is through the intersection, the individual in charge MUSTHALT THE UNIT then give the command, "Road Guards In."

5.3 HEAT HAZARDS

The sun can be extremely hot and uncomfortable during leadership school. Often trainees arriving at leadership school have problems coping with the heat. PVSLS utilize color flags as part of the heat stress notification system. The flag will be displayed in front of Building #48, on the drill pads/athletic area (during free play).

a. Yellow Flag – Normal training conditions

b.Red Flag – Transit to and from classes/dining facility will be at “At Ease or RouteStep, March.”

c.Blue Flag – All outside activities are cancelled. Transit to and from classes/diningfacility will be at “At Ease or Route Step, March.”


24

Listed are some heat problems and the recommended treatment.

5.3a. Heat Cramps

Symptoms: Profuse sweating, cold clammy skin and cramps in the abdomen and legs.

Treatment: Lay the victim down, loosen the clothing, and give sips of water. Call an ambulance so the victim can be seen by medical personnel.

5.3b. Heat Exhaustion

Symptoms: Early symptoms could include weakness, unsteady walk, nausea, dizziness, and headache. Later symptoms might include profuse sweating; cold skin; a pale moist face; weak and rapid pulse; vomiting and involuntary bowel movement.

Treatment: Lay the victim down in the shade, in circulating air, with his or her feet elevated. Give sips of water. Call an ambulance so the victim may be seen by medical personnel. Watch the victim for any changes in his or her condition.

5.3c. Heat Stroke

Symptoms: Early symptoms could be headache, dizziness, nausea, and dryness of the mouth. Later symptoms might include no sweating at all; hot and dry skin; mental confusion; a flushed and dry face; normally, a weak and rapid pulse; and possible convulsions and unconsciousness.

Treatment: If you suspect a heat stroke, cool the victim's body as much as possible. Call an ambulance immediately. Keep the victim's body as cool as possible while transporting to the hospital.

While heat cramps and heat exhaustion can make you feel very bad, HEAT STROKE CAN KILL!!! Do not overexert yourself during physical training (PT). If anytime during PT you begin to feel ill, notify an instructor immediately.

To help you resist the hot sun, there are some DO's and DON'Ts to remember.

DO

ŸDrink large amounts of cool water.

ŸGet as much rest as possible.

ŸUse extra salt to season food.

ŸTake extra precautions if you:

Questions

1. Have ever been affected by the sun before?

2. Are overweight or in a weakened condition?

3. Recently had a fever?

DON'T

ŸOver-expose yourself to the sun, especially your head.


25

ŸOver exercise in hot weather.

ŸTake antihistamines or other medicines for colds or allergies.

5.5. IRONING

It is important that each trainee learns to keep uniform items neat. Properly ironed uniforms present a well-groomed appearance. Following are basic procedures for ironing:

1. The proper ironing setting is recommended when using a steam iron. This willprevent scorching and melting of the fabric.

2. To keep items damp andhelp eliminate wrinkles, use steam and fabric finish. Inaddition, fabric finish will give the item body and enhance the appearance.

3. Iron all items on the inside first. This includes the pockets, seams, hems, collars,and lapels. Completely iron all double thickness of material dry or wrinkles willform as the material dries.

4. During the summer months, use little to no starch on your uniforms. This allows forair circulation. Always ensure that you use good ironing safety.

a. Do not leave a hot iron unattended.

b. Disconnect irons from the electrical socket when not in use.

c. Wrap cord around the iron.

d. Place iron in an appropriate area for cooling.

Emergency Planning and Procedures Guide for PVSLS

The school's guide includes instructions for paths of communication among staff, instructors, PVSLS officials and community emergency responders. Cadets are to respond to all emergency instructions and orders in an expedition manner. Areas covered by the plan include the following.

b. Hazardous Materials

c. Severe Weather

d. Medical Emergency

e. Fight/Distrubance/Assault

f. Intruder

g. Weapons

h. Bomb Threat


I. Chemical or Biological Threat

a. Fire (PVSLS will hold a "drop in place" exercise within the first 24 hours of residency)

a. In accordance with guidelines as set forth by CDC Administration, determination has beenrendered that swine influenza (H1N1) virus is contagious and is able to spread from humanto human. Recently, we have seen the spread of the H1N1, globally, at an alarming rate.

b. Spread of this virus is thought to be in the same way as the seasonal flu virus. Flu virusesare spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing. In many cases, thevirus can infect people when they touch something with the flu virus on it and thentouching their mouth or nose.

c. Many who has the virus are displaying fever, headaches, stomach aches, coughing andother ailments. In addition to respiratory symptoms such as breathing difficulty andcoughing, severe diarrhea for three days with six bowel movements a day, it also weakens aimmune system.

d. Here are some answers on H1N1.

1. How do symptoms of swine flu differ from other types of flu?

None, really, although this flu might include gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea and vomiting), as well as the usual respiratory symptoms. The basic symptoms for swine flu are similar to the seasonal flu we are vaccinated for each year, which may include:

*Fever (greater than 100°F or 37.8°C)

*Sore throat

*Cough

*Stuffy nose

*Chills

*Headache and body aches

*Fatigue

2. If I felt flu-like, how would I know if I had swine flu?

You wouldn't really, nor would your physician know for sure without a respiratoryspecimen taken within the first four to five days. The specimen would then be sent tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The cases so far in the U.S.have been relatively mild compared to the illness described in patients in Mexico. Wedo not yet know why the U.S. cases have been milder. The important point is to callyour doctor if you think you have the flu. Prescription anti-viral drugs such asTamiFlu or Relenza can be called in by your doctor. Unless you are:

*exceptionally ill with flu-like symptoms*are chronically ill*immune-suppressed*quite elderly*or have a very young child, under age 2

SWINE FLU BULLETIN

SUPPLEMENT TO CHAPTER 5, SAFETY


26

It is best not to report to the hospital, clinic or doctor's office, where you could risk spreading the disease. Again, call your doctor first to get instructions as to what you need to do next.

3. How long are people contagious?

Adults are potentially contagious for the length of time one has symptoms, up to seven days following the beginning of illness. The “shedding stage” of the virus is during the first four to five days of illness. Children can be considered contagious longer, up to 10 days. The initial incubation period is 24 to 48 hours.

4. Is there medication for this?

Yes, Tamiflu or Relenza have shown to be effective against these recently reported strains of swine flu. Altogether, there are four anti-viral drugs that we commonly use to treat various strains of flu.

5. Can I start taking medicine for it now, just in case I get it later?

That is not presently advised. Preventive medication might be advised for very special circumstances where a person had to expose themselves to potentially ill people during an epidemic (which we do not yet have here). Such people might include ER workers. An outbreak in a nursing home, for instance, might lead to protecting all the other residents with a drug like TamiFlu. For the general public, the current answer is no to prophylactic (preventative) use with anti-viral medications. Its coverage time is limited. Do not confuse over-the-counter “cold and flu” preparations for anti-flu medications that require a prescription.

6. Are the symptoms in children different from adult symptoms?

Though the basic symptoms are similar, the signs of potentially life-threatening complications differ. The CDC advises those with these symptoms to seek emergency care immediately:

*Fast breathing or trouble breathing

*Bluish skin color

*Not drinking enough fluids

*Not waking up or interacting

*Being very irritable

*Fever with a rashEmergency warning signs in adults are:

*Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

*Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen

*Sudden dizziness

*Confusion

*Severe or persistent vomiting


27

Emergency warning signs in children are:

6.1 Fires, regardless of size, shall be reported. Any person discovering a fire, regardless of type or size, shall warn all occupants by activating the building fire alarm system, shouting, or by any other means available obtain assistance and immediately notify emergency assistance personnel by dialing 911. When reporting a fire or other emergency, give the location of the fire or emergency, the building name, the caller's name and any other information requested. Remain on the phone, if safe to do so, until released by the person that you are notifying.

6.2 SAFETY EXIT DRILLS

GENERAL

A fire drill will be scheduled within the first 24 hours. All personnel shall take part in a fire drill and leave the dormitories. During the drills, a designated representative from the command staff shall observe the actions of personnel and check the cadet staff for personnel accountability. Coordination shall be effected with the Prairie View Police and Fire personnel prior to conducting drills. Upon conclusion of a fire evacuation drill, an after action report should be forwarded to the school commander.

6.3 FIRE REPORTS

All fires, regardless of how minor or even if out prior to discovery, shall be reported immediately to the appropriate Prairie View A&M University personnel. As in the case of accident or injury reports, HQ AFJROTC should be notifed.

28

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING A FIRE

CHAPTER 6


6.4 DORMITORY EXIT PROCEDURES

Occupants on the first floor should exit the the dormitory through the doors, nearest them, at the end of the floor, and proceed to the designated assembly areas. Occupants on the second and third floors will exit the building using the emergency exits located at each end of the floors. Watch how you exit the emergency stairwells. Be sure to use the hand rails. They will proceed to the designated assembly areas. See the SLS Fire Evacuation graphic located on the next page.

TRAVEL DISTANCE

Personnel evacuating the dormitories will proceed to a safe distance in the designated assembly areas. They will assemble at least 150 feet from the adjacent streets.
