texas wing encampment

[ol'fido]

I remember many years ago at Summer Encampment we had a squadron commander who was also a cadet at the Citadel. The encampment started on Friday and by Sunday evening he was so hoarse from yelling that he sounded like Froggie off of Our Gang. His nickname among some of the seniors seemed very appropriate, "Semper Pscycho".

If I had had any say in the manner, he would have been gone before his voice got anywhere near that condition.

This is yet another visit to the Land of Internet Imprecision. (tm)

There is no rule that even suggests that is always inappropriate to raise one's voice while participating in our terrific CP.

Indeed, the CP has used a military training model for over 60 years.  And raised voices are often found in military training situations, particularly when addressing groups or in noisy situations.

The problem comes up when we start using subjective terms like "yelling" which tend to mean different things to different people.

For some folks, any use of a raised voice means "yelling."  ("I was in front of the PT formation and I needed to yell to be heard by everyone.")

For others, "yelling" has a more limited and specific definition that depends on the facts and circumstances in each incident. ("The flight sergeant yelled at the cadet who was standing beside her in the barracks.")

This is probably one of those "I know it when I see it" situations where almost all experienced CP officers actually observing a situation will agree whether it is appropriate or not.  But those same officers will likely disagree if all they see is a subjective written description of the same incident.

That is why we require experienced and mature CP leaders to be present at all cadet activities.

Yes you can wear your ribbons and your shoulder cord. The food prepared by the encampment staff is friggen awesome. I enjoyed every meal. You will get an SOI when you check in and you will be required to study it during every moment you are not encaged in something else. If I were you I'd study the items such as chain of command, the air force song, etc. Tell your friend to check the website to see what flight he's in.
