...you wonder about the game plan of the cadet that showed up with only ONE extra pair of underwear in his luggage.

You're kidding, right sir?

Seriously, I bring at least two pairs to any week long event.

Wish I were.

-When you have to stop your self from saluting random adults
-When you call your teacher ma'am
-When you always tuck in your shirt
-When you belt buckle is always right on the seem of your pants
-When you say yes to meatloaf
-When you have to stop yourself from polishing your sneakers
-When you yell 'YES SIR!' at seats when your math teacher asks you if you've done your homework

That's all I got. For now...

Memories of encampment past.

Flying to Maxwell AFB on board a C-54 Skymaster.
Housing in old VOQ right on the Maxwell AFB Flightline.
Seemingly endless drill & ceremonies in front of the hangars at Maxwell AFB.
Doing push ups and counting sand fleas in front of those same hangars.
No BDU's or fatigue uniforms, all males wore khaki's starched so stiff they would stand by themselves, tie tucked in between the 2d and 3d button on the uniform. Females wore skirts.
Going to the range and familiarization firing with the M-1 Carbine.  (Marching to and from the range of course).
Salt Tablets
mandatory breaks where everyone had lay down and elevate their feet for at least 15 minutes.
Friday Afternoon Parade (it seemed all over the base). 
Flying home in a C-47.

-When you call your teacher ma'am

You didn’t before?

I know it's common in the south but no one really does it up north.

Depends on what you mean by north. Plenty of people I know living above the Mason-Dixon Line call their teacher ma'am or sir.

Seriously. 

If respect and common courtesy isn't enough, how about self-preservation?  Anyone who provides you a living, a service, or can potentially negatively
effect your life should always be referred to in that manner.

Growing up in Michigan just a few short decades ago my teachers seemed to HATE being called sir or ma'am.
They were big fans of being called Mr. xxx, Ms. xxx, Mrs. xxx or Dr. xxx if they had their phd.
In every conversation you said their name no less than 3 times. I think people in Michigan just like to hear their names out loud.

Not to be contradictory or anything.... same thing in reality. Formal and respectful at all times.

Point taken. Unless I'm joking I don’t use “ain’t” or double negatives. Better?

In IL ever since I moved here it was Mr/Mrs/Ms xyz. In E.Europe it was Name and Patronym. So had I stayed there, it wouldn't be Mr. Hatkevich, it would be Mihail Valeryevich.

Yah, we did PT once, and it was at night. Or around 1900ish.

Black Knight, did you go to the NYWG 2012 Encampment? We only did 1 PT, on the 1st or 2nd day, after dinner. (Which was a terrible idea.)

None of that is really that big a deal, encampment-wise.  Few of them will be doing 0500 starts anymore, but beyond that,
pretty much SOP.

Black Knight, did you go to the NYWG 2012 Encampment? We only did 1 PT, on the 1st or 2nd day, after dinner. (Which was a terrible idea.)

Yes, I did. I was in Charlie Flight. Got the third highest scire.
And doing PT after dinner was horrible. I believe it was the 2nd day we did PT

-Your parents yell at you for yelling and calling them sir/ma'am when they aska question
-You carry your camelbak/canteens with you everywhere.
-You still study your OI in your free-time.
-Your friends ask why are there 6 numbers written on your gym shorts

- You sleep at the position of attention or parade rest
- You call the room to attention when your teacher walks in the door
- You eat your lunch in 3 minutes flat and hold your empty cup over your head to show everyone it is actually empty
- You take your Red Sox cap off when you go indoors (sorry, I'm an old fan...)
- When your siblings do something wrong, you tell them to drop and give you 20
- You put hospital corners in your bed after you wake up in the morning
- You blouse your jeans into your tennis shoes before going to school
- You refuse to wear any color t-shirt other than black or white
- You raise your hand in class and ask the teacher, "Permission to ask a question?"
- You start to feel like you can't be friends with someone because they haven't been to an encampment or aren't in CAP
- When walking down the hall and an adult approaches, you hit the wall
- You salute your principal and your parents in passing and then get angry when they don't say "Good morning, cadet" or return the salute
- You actually believe that MRE's have great flavor
- You don't leave home without first checking to make sure that your CAPID is in your pocket and your canteen is full

I've got tons more...

-Your that one cadet that walks around with a camelbak sucking on the thing constantly like it's a friggin' pacifier.

DON'T BE THAT CADET. SAY NO TO THE CAMELBAK "BINKY".

- You take your Red Sox cap off when you go indoors (sorry, I'm an old fan...)

I actually do this fairly often wih my Yankees hat (apology accepted) because I don't really wear a hat unless it's a cover and I've been raised that its not polite to wear a hat indoors.

-Your that one cadet that walks around with a camelbak sucking on the thing constantly like it's a friggin' pacifier.

DON'T BE THAT CADET. SAY NO TO THE CAMELBAK "BINKY".

Yup, there was definitely some of that at ILWG Summer Encampment 2013. 

-When you call your teacher ma'am

You didn’t before?

I know it's common in the south but no one really does it up north.

Actually it isn't really common in the south. Well at least it isn't down here in Georgia. A bunch of kids are rude and disrespectful.

You might have gone to encampment if you're a cadet officer.

 Got to love sarcasm and stating the obvious

Except there are the few that didn't go to encampment, as you know it.

You square all your corners
You are still recovering your voice
You bed has perfect hospital corners
You get all OCD and want to hospital corner your sibling's bed
Jodie's are stuck in your head all day long

-When you call your teacher ma'am

You didn’t before?

When I grew up the first 12 years of my life in California, not once did I ever hear ma'am. Totally different story now in Georgia.

Also...
-When you wake up before your alarm goes off.
-When you whistle your flight Jodie.

When you still remember your flight song from 1997.  Delta Rolling Thunder, baaaaybeeee!

Don't forget...if you are in line for something and you stand at parade rest, come to attention, take a step forward, and go back to parade rest. Gets funny looks in the bank.

-Your Dad was a TAC officer and you still salute him at home.
-You sleep in your PT gear.
-You don't know the answer to a question in class, you say "This cadet does not know, but will endeavor to find out."

-You don't know the answer to a question in class, you say "This cadet does not know, but will endeavor to find out."

CAP does not use the third person in cadet training.

Where does this stuff come from?

Isn't there a CAP pub that has "I do not know, but will find out"?

-You don't know the answer to a question in class, you say "This cadet does not know, but will endeavor to find out."

CAP does not use the third person in cadet training.

Where does this stuff come from?

Cadet staff watching a bunch of youtube videos from other encampments and thinking it would be "cool" to try at theirs. And those other encampments saw it from a bunch of youtube videos about USMC recruit training, etc., and they thought it would look "cool" as well.

I don't know if that is improper or not, but I wasn't about to contradict the flight sergeant or the entire encampment staff (cadets and seniors).

You Might have gone to encampment if you pack an MRE for school lunch.

You Might have gone to encampment if you pack an MRE for school lunch.

Why did they feed you MREs at encampment?

When adults start telling you to stop calling them sir or ma'am.

Hey, I thought of another one.

-You square your corners in public.

Why did they feed you MREs at encampment?

NCWG encampment is held at an austere National Guard Training Center with no available dining facility.  Breakfast and dinner are cooked and served under a large picnic shelter, but lunch is usually a MRE distributed wherever the cadets happen to be at lunch time.

None of the cadets that I know have complained about this arrangement.  In fact, some of them actually like it!

A reasonable accommodation and as you say, probably popular with most participants, but based on the published photos of this activity,
I don't know that calling Camp Butler "austere" is fair.  It looks pretty nice, actually.

You Might have gone to encampment if you pack an MRE for school lunch.

Why did they feed you MREs at encampment?

At NC wing encampment, everybody got MRE's for lunch. It wasn't that bad actually. I kind of miss them. They had heaters, so they weren't cold.

You might have gone to encampment if:
You use your command voice to give presentations at school
You yell at your TV screen when someone says "Over and out"
You navigate hallway corners using flanking movements
You call the room to attention when the principal walks in the room
You ask your teacher to refer to you by your rank and last name (IE, Cadet Senior Airman King)
You wake up your friends at sleepovers with whistles and yelling to tell them to wake up

That must make you real popular at school.

I don't know that calling Camp Butler "austere" is fair.  It looks pretty nice, actually.

It's very nice for what it is, and the cadets seem to like it, but it's nothing like past encampment sites like MCAS Cherry Point, Camp Lejuene, or Seymour Johnson AFB.

That must make you real popular at school.

I have only done the one about navigating corners. The rest I haven't done.
Yet.

I did my basic encampment at Cherry Point in 2004, it was definitely well worth the trip.

That must make you real popular at school.

I have only done the one about navigating corners. The rest I haven't done.
Yet.

Let me save you some embarrassment and bullying:

Don't.

I was just kidding when I said "yet"

Looking at all these examples, I find it rather silly that everyone has issues separating reality from CAP.
Seriously? MREs for school? Squaring your corners in public? While respectful, calling Every. Single. Person sir/ma'am? And somehow, I don't see anyone sleeping at the position of attention or parade rest.

Just sayin'... 

We used MRE's at encampment, too. With the cadets mostly split between two locations, on base and on the other side of the island, since we had to do something for those off base, and the Wing had MREs..

Use what you've got.

Which island?

Hawaii or PR?

That would be Oahu.

Or Paris Island

"Hey Kid, I hear that you are looking to go to encampment?"

"Uh, Yes, Corporal."

"Well, it turns out that I'm signing people up right now!  I'll even waive the fee.  Just come right in here and fill out the application..."

I'm not sure about 2013 but a quick google search showed 2011 was at Parris Island.

Black Knight, did you go to the NYWG 2012 Encampment? We only did 1 PT, on the 1st or 2nd day, after dinner. (Which was a terrible idea.)

Are you serious?? I never heard of an encampment doing that! WE ALWAYS Did pt every day until graduation  at 0545 sharp! 

That would be Oahu.

I remember seeing CAP at an encampment on Schofield in the late 80's. I remember thinking "wow, they're wearing BDUs now in the program". That would have been maybe 89, 90, 91 time frame I guess. They were using GP Mediums out at Area X(the firing ranges) on the north side of Schofield.

I'm going to list a few more examples, but before I do, I would like to point out that these are just exaggerated examples, and never have I done these, nor will I ever do these:

You sign papers with your name and rank
You give your unit's charter number when somebody asks you where you're from
You wake up in the middle of the night at home to do CQ patrol
You eat every meal as quick as possible
You put as many patches as you can on anything
You wear dress blues to a civilian formal event
You use proper radio speech over the phone

You forgot calling the conference room to attention at a business meeting when the boss walks in.

I've signed things with my badge number before.

One time I saluted my father at home...

You wake up and expect Chef Steve's breakfast.

It wasn't encampment but the MCJROTC version.  I spent 2 weeks at Parris Island over Spring break in 1989.  We stayed in the white WWII era barracks that were next to the rifle range.  We had 3 Drill Instructors assigned to us.  We had an AWESOME time.  It was stressful but educational.  We started every morning with the daily dozen, ended every day with drill and did everything from live fire with M-16's, beach landings from landing craft, helicopter rides, rappelling, obstacle and confidence course and even went through the gas chamber.  BEST. SCHOOL. TRIP. EVER.  and on the way home to Massachusetts we even visited Washington DC. 

The year before was a similar experience at Little Creek, the year before at Quantico.....

I have pictures put away from those trips 25 years later

Let me just say that after a few months of waiting, seeing the conversation go this far off topic is a bit discouraging. So here are some new you might have gone to encampment ifs. Again, never done any of these myself and I never will.

You build a professional Obstacle Course in your backyard
You bring your 24 hour pack on a regular neighborhood stroll
You look for uniform mistakes in regular civilians
You snap to attention when answering someone of higher authority
You ask for a buddy to come with you to the restroom
You ask for a buddy to come with you anywhere
