So there's going to be 12 flights this year instead of 11, wow.  Does this mean that they built the extra barracks building that they were talking about or is that still on the drawing board?

Didn't you hear?  They're putting us up in the Hilton on the north side of the airport!!!  The staff even gets their own rooms, while in-flight cadets have to share a room.  Free continental breakfast, and morning formation at 11 AM.

I almost thought he was serious for a second. When is the handbook suppose to come out?

You're supposed to go to the NBB website and print up your own.  Or so the rumor goes.

Yeah I went there but I don't see it.

www.cap.gov/nbb

Use that link, and at the bottom of the page are links to all of the documents you need.

I am interested in NBB and i have a few questions:
Is it like basic encampment where there's tons of yelling and screaming all the time?
How long is it?
Can i apply for staff if i haven't been once before?


Thanks

No. Check cap.gov. Yes.

If I didn't know better, I'd say DC's response was making a reference to the 8-ball "logo/mascot" of NBB.    Yes... no... maybe... check cap.gov. 

That was one of the most beautifully answerers that i think i have ever seen.

And that is one of the most poorly crafted sentences I've seen in the last week! 

wow you are right.  that is an awful sentence.  I must have been half asleep when i wrote that.

NBB, sweet activity, been there 3 times (twice on staff), 'nuff said.

I've one been to NBB once, and plan on going back this year....it's a great activity!

How many cadets do they chose from each wing to go to NBB.

That varies.  It all depends on which wing you are from and how many cadets applied in totall.  I know from my wing 3 went last year.

NBB (all NCSA's actually) doesn't reserve a specific number of slots each year per wing.  It's more complicated than that.  Some Wing may have 10 cadets selected out of 10 applicants, while another may have none selected out of 10 applicants.

A lot of it has to do where you are ranked in your wing in comparison t all other NCSA applicants, and how that figures into the complicated mathematical software that spits out who goes, and who doesn't.

Basically send hamster treats for the hamsters spinning the wheels down at Maxwell.

I'm wondering what people thought of last summers NBB.  Is it worth going to go.

If you like Airshows, then yes.  If you don't like Airshows, then no.

The CAP activity at times what not the most exciting.  There were flight line shifts were you really didn't see any air planes come your way.  Then there were those shifts that were tons of fun.  The air show is amazing.  Every chance that i got i was walking through all the vendor stuff and i didn't get through it all.  To go through every thing you would have to spend like 5 days of non stop looking.  I would recommend going, but you need to want to work.

And the one time that you leave your poncho in the barracks because you haven't needed it in the past week and a half will be the one time you will need it.  I got stuck underneath a warbird bomb bay in an amazing down pour last year.
