Quote from: a2capt on May 07, 2010, 07:52:43 AMKeep the cadets away from the beer vending machines ..

Japan is vending machine central. People have them on their front porches. Stoops, even. In some places you can reach out the bathroom window and the passing train could take off your hand.

Awsome place to go. :)

The AAR from last year shows a pretty rigorous schedule and it doesn't appear that we'll be spending a lot of time in the major cities (if the schedule remains the same). 

It's interesting though, because the US is the only country that sends escorts.  I've been told that even though the host country is responsible for us and that I have no authority/responsibility for other country's cadets, that I should be making an active effort to ensure the other countries cadets stay well behaved...

As for the vending machines, I've heard that the "beer" vending machines should be the least of my worries... !!!

We're the only ones that send escorts? Wow. I do know that Japan sent one two years ago. I met her and her cadet and two British cadets. Nice group of people.

Other countries send escorts but not all of them.  When I was an escort in 2008 there was a Swiss escort in our group. This yr. Japan will be sending an escort with their cadets.

Good morning!

  As of this morning, those who completed applications for the National Cadet Special Activities were sent an automated notification by NHQ. Lets hear what activities YOU will be attending this summer! I will begin:

Cadet Officer School - Maxwell AFB - July 5-15 - Primary
National Blue Beret - Oshkosh, WI - Alternate

Congrats on going to COS! Next year looking at staffing Pacific Region Staff College in the spring and applying for National Staff College in the fall of 2011. (And Level V will be complete!)

They're obligated to send an escort if they exceed 6 cadets in the exchange to a country.  Most countries do not send that many cadets and don't send an escort.

Wish Squadron Commanders would be sent an email also.  Nice not to have to hunt down Cadets and ask.

Good idea!

We can fix that.

Yeah, I just couldn't swing any more vacation this year.  I leave for IACE on Saturday, get to spend the whole week at NB (CP Summit, teaching TLC , and the NB itself), fall NEC & BoG meetings, and maybe NSC.

As you know, it adds up after a while. 

And my bosses are very demanding.   8)

It definitely was awesome. We learned a massive amount of useful information. I would also recommend this as a "Must go" NCSA. I was the Team 3 honor graduate and I knew COS was the right choice.

Congrats to all the COS grads. From one grad to another, you made the best choice in regards to your present and future life, in CAP or school or elsewhere. You probably made some of the best friends you could make in a CAP program. Good luck in the rest of your adventures.
