Cadet Encampment Handbook

[jimmydeanno]

Word on the street is that each wing would call NHQ and say, "We have 400 cadets coming to encampment, please send us enough to cover it."  And voila!  In the mail comes 425 books.  Printing on the scale that NHQ does it isn't that expensive.  In fact, I'd wager a guess that publishing these will probably cost less per copy than a photocopied B&W local handbook done at Staples.

That's because staples charges by the shirt and first born.

Yeager: 

The only thing in his rack that is close is the Arnold.

This needs to be removed immediately and the person/ persons who put this together need to be dismissed!
Aside from many many inaccuracies, it is offensive and ridiculous.

Shame on the individuals that created this!!

Arnold:

Oops... On my computer it was blurry and it looked like there was the grey line, and I was wondering why there was no Arnold

I am sensing RM 2.0

....Most encampment handbooks are black and white 1/2 page deals, scaled specifically to fit in a BDU pocket.....

I believe this is meant to be a cadets program manual that would be kept online at the cadet programs library instead of what is given to cadets upon arrival at encampment which commonly called an OI (operating instructions).


**** Then again after just now reading about half way through it i could be wrong.  It does have sections which appear to be utilized by cadets at the encampment.  Maybe it will be one more thing on the packing list for cadets to 'forget' to bring...

This is intended to be the mandated encampment handbook, replacing the OI's.

Notice there are pages to fill in for the encampment's chain of command, knowledge and memory work, and the cadet encampment contract.

One way or the other it would have to be supplied by the encampment - depending on a cadet to print and bring something like this
would never fly - you'd be shocked at the way people print the applications.

[Sapper168]

Unless its being supplied in a size that will fit a bdu cargo pocket and is still legible i see all kinds of hassles with it.


After reading it i have to say i am confused.  This isn't a very good 'Encampment handbook'  Actually the bulk of it seems to be a 'Here is some basic Cadet Programs lessons handbook'.   Seems like filler info to me. 

[Extremepredjudice]

you'd be shocked at the way people print the applications.

I am intrigued..... Please elaborate.

Portrait instead of landscape, or vice versa. Double sided out of sequence. PDFs that don't format right on a particular printer, and the fonts are out of whack. The possibilities abound.

What bare the top two ribbons on that c/2d Lt above?

[Extremepredjudice]

Nat'l commander unit citation, the blue one looks like AFSA Squadron NCO of the Year, but it is in the wrong spot.

[Майор Хаткевич]

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure about the blue one

The concept is that this will supplement your exsisting OI, SOP etc. You are right they are lessons in the sense of "Hip Pocket Training". These are short lessons that flight staff can use to accomplish short periods of training, think standing in line, instead of having cadets just blindly staring at their OI, SOP etc. while holding it in an awkward position. Seems like a win win to me.

You might want to take a look at this link as it explains the intent of the Cadet Handbook.

Bigger question.  What is up with the ribbon at the top next to the NCUC?

[Cool Mace]

It's a UC award. It took me a minute to figure it out...
