of the grumpies say.)
We have been taught how to safely hurdle logs, shoot
rifles, jump off Rappelling Towers, marched, drilled,
ate, slept, had a few challenges, made new friends,
laughed, and had a lot of fun.
Let us now muster up that last spurt of energy and cou-

When C/Col Mauldin, the Encampment Cadet Commander, was asked to be

interviewed by the Public Affairs Staff, he was extremely modest about his
achievements. C/Col Mauldin is part of a very select group which has reached the
ultimate achievement in the Cadet Program. C/Col Mauldin is a Spaatz Cadet, an
honor achieved by less than 1% of all CAP Cadets.
C/Col Mauldin said that he has always been eager to learn. He has always enjoyed PT
and taking tests. Every step for him was an opportunity to learn something new. He
said that there is never a reason to be bored because you always have a lot to do when
you are responsible. There are many opportunities to expand your training through
Wing and National Activities.
C/Col Mauldin said that he didn’t start to think seriously about becoming a Spaatz
Cadet until he became a C/Captain. He encouraged everyone in the group to do their
best. He said that the way to become a Spaatz Cadet is by remaining eager to achieve
your goal. He said “You must be self motivated and dedicated.”

 RULES OF THE GUIDON
• The Guidon is the symbol of each Flight and should be carried with pride. It should
be treated as though it is a member of the Flight itself.
• No one touches the Guidon but the Guidon Bearer and the Flight Staff (unless training
on the Guidon).
• In this Honor Encampment, there will be no “Guidon Wars” or stealing of another
Flight’s or Squadron’s Guidon.

HONOR CODE
We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.

CADET OATH
I pledge that I will serve faithfully
In the Civil Air Patrol Program,
And that I will attend meetings regularly,
Participate actively in Unit activities,
Obey my Officers,
Wear my uniform properly,
And advance my education and training rapidly
To prepare myself
To be of service to
My community, state, and nation.

 During the week, Encampment Cadets
have had the opportunity to solidify
the bond with one another and their
Flight at the Confidence Course. The
Confidence Course was designed to
build an individual’s confidence as well
as to solidify the bond within the
group.
At the Course, Cadets helped one
another to overcome a multitude of
obstacles. Even though some Cadets
did not appear confident at first, the
motivation gained from other
members of their Flight helped so
much that those Cadets requested to
go through the Course again.
The Confidence Course was definitely
one of the highlights of the week. A
fun time was had by all!!!

 My Poor Sore Dogs
Safety is the only way,
To make it through this week.
Encampment time is finally here,
With knowledge that we seek.

We learn, we march, and constant drills,

The blisters which we fret.
Reminders of our battle boots,
Make sure we don’t forget.

Moleskin is a true blue friend,

That gives us “happy feet”,
The cotton and peroxide’s,
The healing which we seek.

Keep feet firmly planted,

Don’t think inside a fog.
Have some fun, go laugh and play,
But take care of your dogs.

FOOD IS FUEL.
YOU MUST EAT NUTRITIOUS FOOD,
NOT JUNK FOOD
WHICH DOES NOT GIVE YOU
THE PROPER ENERGY
NEEDED FOR ENCAMPMENT ACTIVITIES.

 "Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit
organization with 58,000 members nationwide. CAP, in its Air Force auxil-
iary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue
missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and was
credited by the AFRCC with saving 72 lives in fiscal year 2009. Its volun-
teers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counter-drug mis-
sions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a
leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than
23,000 young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs. CAP
has been performing missions for America for 68 years."

The CAP Motto (Semper Vigilans-Always Vigilant) reflects the ever-ready status of Civil Air Patrol.
It means every member, Cadet and Senior, must be prepared to respond effectively to any situation.
