Day 1

Day 1

Day 1 was kicked off with Encampment staff arriving before cadets arrived in order to set-up camp. When basic cadets began to trickle through the doors, Administrative staff got down to business with the in processing. Medical staff worked diligently with turned in medication and support staff checked cadet's luggage for contraband such as food, phones and other electronics. Almost immediately cadets became familiar with their fellow room mates and life style of the week to come. They took entry drill test and written test so that they could be rewarded at the end of encampment based off of their improvements. As the eventful day wound down, cadets returned to their and prepared for bed. So that they would be ready for day 2

Day 2

Day 2

Cadets were promptly woken at 5am to report to physical training out on the lawn. At the end of exercising different squadrons separated into their respective activities. Activities included shooting M-16A2 rifles, exploring the Land Navigation course, and Repelling off the repel tower. In the afternoon cadets reported to classes where they learned about the Air Force. However in the evening, flights bonded through team work to compete in the Ultimate Frisbee Competition.

Day 3

Once again cadets reported to physical training(PT) lead by their Squadron's First Sergeant. After PT, flights went to one of the remaining activities they did not do the previous day( either repelling, land navigation course, or the shooting of M-16's) Based from the response Public Affairs has heard, cadets are really enjoying the daily activities. In the afternoon some cadets choose to clean their barracks in preparation for the up coming room inspection which could result in an award for their flight. As the day came to an end, flights bonded through a game of tug-of-war against other flights.
