Cadet Phillips arrives atencampment

On this day in June, ninety-eight cadets signed up toattend the 2011 NC WingSummer Encampment.Whether the cadets came toButner just to be with theirfriends or if the cadets came

to get their Mitchell awardis debatable. The cadetswho have now been dividedinto six flights are anxiousto get ready, but first, theymust unpack, setup the bar-racks, and study their OIs(operating instructions)before they can learn newthings. There are six flightsand two squadrons thatteach the subjects of leader-ship, aerospace education,ground team, mission radiooperating and flight linemarshalling. Each flightdoes their own unique spe-cialty. Along the way thecadets will be rappelling,challenging the obstacle

course, shooting firearmsunder supervision on therange, and learning teamwork. The first thing thecadets do at encampment isto report in to headquar-ters. The reporting proce-

dure is as follows: the cadetmust stand in a ripple line

in front of the door he orshe is entering, the cadet

approaches the desk andsalutes saying, Cadet(insert name) reporting asordered Sir, Mam, Ser-geant, or Chief. the officeror NCO then returns thesalute and sends the cadet to

flights and the cadet staffengage in the awesome,circular, and intense milerun! The run was done information and with jodies.Thru ought the run the ca-dets learned team work andthe staff learned leadership.The morning P.T. was a bigsuccess and no one got in-jured or dehydrated.

So, the burning question of the

day has been, What the heck

are Raisins, Osmotic? Or, in

normal English, What are

Osmotic Raisins?

After an exhaustive search on

the Internet, and with Kudos to

Capt. Paul Twiddy for provid-

ing a Verizon hotspot, Osmotic

Raisins are simply..

From Yahoo Answers we get

that regular raisins are natural,

with no additives. Osmotic

raisins are infused with a type

of sugar to make them sweeter.

But, how do they taste? From

Notpurfect.com we get this

little tidbit from an MRE re-view: The raisins were pack-

aged in a foil container marked

Rasins, Osmotic. I have no

clue how osmotic raisins differ

from the ordinary variety; but

the raisins were nasty. I could-

nt finish them. You decide.

QUESTION





STAFFWELCOME

Major Williams

Major Williams is one of the AE(aerospace education) instructors

for this years encampment. Hesays that everything is ahead ofschedule and that the flight com-manders are doing a great job inleading, and that the cadets areeager to learn. He said to sum itall up that encampment is run-ning smoothly. His flight has al-ready finished their solid fuelrockets, he also has a technicalrating in public affairs.

SAFETY

Now we all know the hard

reality. Safety is not the

reason you are at encamp-

ment. It is extremely im-

portant though. PT and

drill formations are one of

the biggest hazards on adaily basis. Risks with these

activities are dehydration,

tripping, and fainting due to

locking your knees. These

risks can be quickly and

efficiently eliminated with

these easy to remember

controls. DRINK WATER

a lot, yet do not exceed one

quart a hour and twelve

quarts a day. Watch where

you step. You dont wantto be in the sick bay because

you fell in a hole. Seri-

ously, do you want to be the

one cadet to step into a hole?

At encampment? Do not

lock your knees. Ever.

Always check yourself If

you do you will faint and

no one will catch you. If

everyone follows these

simple rules we will have

the best encampment

ever.

2nd. Lt. Brittan is an encamp-ment TAC officer for FoxtrotFlight and is also a member ofNC-170 Brunswick CountySquadron. She is also a famousbluegrass banjo player. Lt Brit-tain has confidence in the en-campment staff and says that en-campment is tough but is runningsmoothly.

SAFETY

O-rides are one of the

greatest experiences a cadet

can have. There is nothing

like flying through the air.

Although fun, it is ex-

tremely dangerous. The

results of an error are catas-trophic. But, with some

easy to follow controls it

can be the best experience

of your cadet career. Par-

ticipate in the pre-flight

inspection, maybe you will

see something the pilot

missed. Always obey your

pilot.

The obstacle course is a

very challenging activity and

confidence builder. It is a

really awesome activity.

However, there are some

major risks. Dehydration is

the main cause of the ma-

jority of the injuries in the

summertime. Dehydration

can make you do weird

things when the brain

isnt receiving the neces-

sary fluids. To solve this

simple problem you need

to drink LOTSof water

while following the limitsof one quart an hour and

twelve quarts a day. Have

fun at encampment, but

STAY SAFE while doing

so.

The Aerospace flight visitedthe National Guard AviationBattalion at the RaleighDurham International Air-port to learn more aboutArmy Aviation. Whilethere, they met Maj. Hill
