What does that mean the original post doesn't "show?" I'm alittle confused...

It means that your post to start this thread reads like it is a response to another post, not a post to open a thread.

So much for a positive demonstration of leadership to cadets. I guess some people just prefer to be part of the problem.

I really like the idea of this thread, a lot of the stress that first time encampment staff applicants experience comes from not knowing what to expect at staff selection. Staff selection is not some mystery to intimidate first timers, its a weekend (For CAWG) of pure evaluation.

Here is my advice to anyone curious about Encampment SSX:
1. Study your regulations. If you can't take the time to learn how to properly teach drill and ceremonies and wear the uniform, why should you be on encampment staff?

2. Practice. If you are week in a certain area, ask people at your squadron for help. If you are bad drilling a flight, start drilling a flight at your weekly meetings. Confidence comes with practice.

3. Show up with the right mindset. If you want to be a flight sergeant, show up acting like one. That doesn't mean start shouting commands left and right, it means act with the professionalism that an encampment flight sergeant should have.


And a little off topic, there is no "CTG Clique". There is absolutely zero favoritism involved in staff selection. We take every precaution to avoid that.
