From the Desk of a TAC Officer
So, by this time youre probably wondering Why on earth did I(1); volunteerand(2); pay $160.00 dollars of good money that I could have spent on somethingreally cool that doesnt yell at me?
Ahead lie seven glorious days of sweat, pain, memory work, rack-making,
volleyball, inspections, tears.... This is my third encampment, and these have been
some of the longest and best days of my life. My basic year of encampmentimbedded a passion for cadet programs and training within me that has set the
tone for my entire Civil Air Patrol career, both as a prior cadet and now as a
senior member. Last year I had the opportunity to return to Oregon Wing
Encampment as cadet staff, and this year I have the privilege of returning to you
as a senior staff member.
The level of leadership training I have been exposed to over the last three years, as
well as the priceless friendships and memories I have made, is something I carry
with me always. This week you have the opportunity of a lifetime that can also
change you forever. The training you receive this week will be as good as you
make it. If you fail to maintain a positive attitude or lose your self-discipline, you
will be cheating yourself and every other cadet out of the valuable training and
life experience this encampment offers.
Your task is far simpler than it may seem. You WILL be challenged, but notbeyond what you are capable of achieving. Pay attention, do as you are told, and
conduct yourselves in a professional and military manner. This week you are part
of a team. You will eat together, sleep together, shower and drill together. If you
fail, your team will fail. They will only be as strong as the weakest member. Help
each other; if you need help, ASK FOR IT! Work together and YOU WILL
SUCCEED.
Good luck!

Why CAP? With C/SMSgt FiddesBy C/A1C Stephen Kemp
Q: Why did you join Civil Air Patrol?
Fiddes: I joined Civil Air Patrol because
I thought they had a cool uniform. But
when I was in the squadron for a couple
of months, I got a lot more out of it like
leadership skills, learning how to fly and
overall it has been a great experience for me and Ive learned a lot
about leadership skills, respect, and discipline.

Activities for the Cadet after EncampmentBy C/2d Lt Thomas Williams
As you found out yesterday with Maj Carroll, there are many
opportunities for a cadet once he/she has successfully completed
Encampment. One thing that you become eligible to participate in after
encampment is the National Cadet Special Activities that CAP offers.
Some of the most memorable ones are:
International Air Cadet Exchange - The highlight of CAPs national
activities is the International Air Cadet Exchange (lACE). Cadets and
escorts from the United States are divided into groups and visit 17
different countries in Europe and the Pacific Rim.Hawk Mountain - The Pennsylvania summer Ranger School at
Hawk Mountain has a long, proud history as one of the premier
emergency services activities in the country. The school offers courses
such as basic, advanced, team commander, special advanced and field
medic. Prior graduates are encouraged to return for advanced training.
Pararescue Orientation Course (PJOC) - The Pararescue
Orientation Course is a weeklong introduction to the techniques used
by the Air Force Pararescue team. The curriculum includes land
navigation, survival techniques, rock climbing, rappelling, and other
skills.

Cadet Orientation Rides (O-Rides)Article written by C/SSgt Matthew Libante
One of the best activities in Civil Air Patrol is the opportunity to fly. Every cadet
has the chance to be involved in five free, powered and glider flights. Yesterday
the 28th of July 2008, six basic cadets received their very first Orientation Flight
(O-Ride). Thanks to the generosity of Capt Wyza and 1st
Lt Ouelette, the Basic
Cadets had the time of their lives and many tricks of the trade. From touch-and-goes at McMinnville airport to flying over the Evergreen Museum and the
Oregon Military Academy, the very building this encampment is held at, it was
truly an experience that the cadets will remember forever.
