It is an excellent way of meeting new cadets from around the Southeast Region and establishing an esprit de corps among the next generation of cadets. Work hard, listen to your cadet leaders, and, most importantly, do your best. Encampments are not meant to be easy. They are meant to challenge you physically and mentally so Force Auxiliary.

importance of listening to their cadet staff. In his welcome letter, Cadet Commander C/Lt Col Andrew Anderson assured the cadets that by the time they graduated from the encampment, they would leave with the knowledge of how to be a better person, cadet and future officer. With over 250 CAP personnel at this years event, the SER Winter Encampment has grown to be one of CAPs most anticipated experiences.
Hair Force
Yesterday in their common room, the staff of Squadron 4 had a grooming class. Flight Sergeant Umana, along with the rest of the Squadron 4 cadet staff, taught their cadets how to properly fix and maintain their hair. The class was interactive, with the staff serving as instructional hair styliststhe CAP way. CAPM 39-1 states, Hair will be neatly arranged and shaped to present a conservative feminine appearance. Hair in the back may touch, but not fall below, the bottom edge of the collar. By doing the Doolies hair according to regulation, Sgt Umana and the staff of Squadron 4 have gone the extra mile to ensure that their cadets portray an image of professionalism. Doolie Ashley Grayson from Juliet flight said, I liked it, I didnt know how to do my hair and they taught me.

Bed Time!
Yesterday after check-in, Doolies were assigned with the task of moving beds and other sleeping materials. The amount of attendees at encampment this year is so large that Doolies had to move additional sleeping gear into the barracks. Although this might not seem like such a memorable event to some, these Doolies used this time to apply a very essential toolteamwork. While moving the beds, the cadets got just a taste of the teamwork that will be required of them this encampment.

Tyndall Tours
Yesterday, Doolies arrived at various locations around Tyndall to tour Southeast Air Defense Sector (SEADS), The F-15 Hangar and the First Fighter Squadron. Major Connor Blackwood, USAF, led a group of Doolies around an F-15 and inside its maintenance hangar for a presentation of the jets components. Doolies learned that the F-15 contains two engines, ten-foot long afterburners, and a gun that can hold Capt Brad Funk of the USAF 1st Fighter Squadron invited Doolies to take a seat in his classroom to imagine themselves as student pilots. Then he went straight into a hack, the Air Force way to sequence pilots watches. He then explained the protocol of the air mission. The speech created a mental picture of what it is like to take off and undergo the ACM (dogfight) procedure. Throughout the tour, Doolies took in lots of information from our Air Force hosts. The F-15 is truly an impressive and inspiring aircraft and the tour will surely be an experience not soon forgotten. 940 rounds of ammunition. Cadet A1C Ben Arthur from Tennessee said that the tour was Pretty good. I forgot that F-15s were so big andthe size of a tennis court! Doolies also met a host of USAF speakers including SrA Barr and SSgt Slater who hold the responsibility of scheduling F-15 maintenance checks and repair work. F15s are not usually kept inside hangars unless a hurricane threatens their safety or maintenance work is needed. I found the maintenance part the most interesting because Im just generally interested in maintenance. might end Since up my doing alongside brother wants to be a pilot, I maintenance

5 Ps
Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Doolies hear the 5 Ps being preached all throughout the day. The question that often remains is, When will I ever use the 5 Ps? The RCLS cadets have the answer to that questionas long as you are a leader. Yesterday, they went through an enlightening class on how to run Unit Meetings. Each cadet is expected to turn in an essay on the way in which their squadron is currently running their meetings. They are to bring out the weaknesses and the strengths in their squadron, and provide possible methods for repairing and sustaining the respective areas. The essay should not only point out strengths and weaknesses of the unit and the possible ways of making progress, but also present a way for them to use the 5 Ps, prior planning prevents poor performance, which is the subliminal message in this RCLS class. Remember that the 5 Ps are not just another thing to regurgitate to the staff when asked, but are words for leaders to live by.

Recently, the niece of one of my co-workers wrote a very special poem. It made a significant impact on me and I would now like to pass her writings on to you. Enjoy! Lt Col Robert Masiker. I read of a reverend who stood to speak at the funeral of his friendhe referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginningto the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earthAnd now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the carsthe housethe cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hardare there things youd like to change? For you never know how much time is left. (You could be at dash mid-range,) If we could just slow down enough to consider whats true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more and love the people in our liveslike weve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smileremembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogys being read with your lifes action to rehashwould you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?

Banquet Highlights
Last night, at The Tyndall AFB Enlisted Club, guests arrived in droves for the SER Winter Encampment Banquet. From the Doolies to the SER Commander, Col Matthew Sharkey, the Banquet was packed for a night no one would soon forget. Guests were served turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables and gravy and always kept their glasses charged. Deputy Cadet Commander, C/Lt Col Korona served as Mr. Vice for the dining-in. Col Korona opened the mess, introduced the Grog and the rules of the mess. The Grog is a concoction of substances that most humans wouldnt normally consume at one time. Highlights at the Grog included C/Col Olsons Grogging by PAO Staff, C/Capt Matthew Castriottas meeting of the ladies, and Cadet Executive Officer C/Maj Christopher Karbowiak singing of Youve lost that loving feeling. After the Grog was closed, Col Matthew Sharkey presented Commanders Commendations, Meritorious Service Awards and presented Lt Col Robert Masiker, Encampment Commander, with an Exceptional Service Award. To close the
banquet, Doolies had a chance to perform skits they created in front of the mess. Skits ranged from imitating encampment scenarios, impersonating staff members and home videos of pure entertainment by the executive staff. C/Lt Col Anderson, Encampment Cadet Commander, left Doolies with a few encouraging to do well in the program. Overall, The Southeast Region Winter Encampment Banquet was an extravagant event.

By now, most Doolies probably know Civil Air Patrols three main ; missions; Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services. Yesterday, the Doolies were able to get a better understanding of Emergency Services through a class taught by Capt Susan DAries. Throughout this life-saving class, Doolies were able to learn first-hand the skills that will benefit them through out their dealings with Emergency Services. The first topic that was addressed was compass work. Doolies learned the basics of compass work, hands-on. As the class progressed, Doolies made tents out of the survival kits previously given to them by Capt DAries. Almost everything you take you wear, commented Capt DAries, less is more. By using various materials, Doolies were able to make water filtration systems. Making the tents and water filter[s] was fun, commented a Doolie from squadron one, that was my favorite part; it really pushed teamwork with my group. The class taught the Doolies the very basics of Emergency Services in a way which they will not soon forget.

What does it mean to be a wingman? By Lt Col Lawrence O. Roche 27th Intelligence Support Squadron commander The Romans, while not the first to understand the central principle behind having "wingmen," were some of the first to document the importance of the wing position. The most basic Roman battle lines were arranged with the infantry in the center and cavalry on the wings. The main purpose of the cavalry was to protect the center from being outflanked. For the Army to succeed, it was imperative that the infantry and cavalry understood and followed a pre-arranged plan and moved with a single purpose. Separately, neither the infantry nor the cavalry stood much chance at defeating an opponent, but together, watching out for each other, they were a formidable force. The Roman Empire and its lasting contributions to the civilized world would not have been possible without a well-disciplined Army and sound principles. The weapons used to wage war have changed dramatically since the Romans, but the principles guiding their employment have not. Today, one of the most important and trusted positions in a formation aircraft belongs to the wingman. While we have exchanged horses for F-15s, the wingman's job remains the same; to protect the lead aircraft. So what does any of this have to do with us? As Airmen we are all part of a much larger team. The combined effect of individual efforts and skills make our Air Force the most powerful air force in the world. None of us could do our jobs without the support of others. We count on our teammates to do their part so we can do ours. We share a common purpose and we know when we need help, our teammates will be there to pitch in and make the mission a success. All of us need a wingman to succeed. Being a good wingman is a 24-hour a day job. The principles apply both on and off duty and are anchored in personal commitment. Good wingmen have many important qualities. First, they have a moral compass that always points true north. They know the right thing to do and they take action to do it. Second, they "keep their head on a swivel," searching the horizon for any sign of trouble and then stepping in to prevent it. Third, good wingmen learn to lead just as well as follow. We all must be prepared to step up and lead when required, just as we must all be ready to follow once a decision is made.

Military Careers
Lt Col Eugene Becker, C/Lt Col Elliott Korona, Capt Michael Garman, SFO Carl Godbee, and Maj Christopher Triana taught Doolies in the NCO Academy Auditorium about careers in the United States Armed Forces. Lt Col Eugene Becker, C/Lt Col Korona, Capt Garman, all on loan to Encampment from the US Air Force, spoke to the Doolies about how to obtain scholarships for school. C/Lt Col Korona also leveled with Doolies about his experiences in AFROTC and informed cadets on the process of becoming an Air Force Officer. SFO Godbee, previous Spaatz Cadet, gave a presentation on his career in the US Marine Corps. SFO Godbee showed a special video presentation to the Doolies that covered the concept of what training is like to become a Marine. By the end of the presentation, Doolies had tons of questions to ask SFO Godbee. One Doolie asked What does it take to be a Marine? and SFO Godbee answered with its not as much physical to make it as it is [mental] because they really try to get in your head On completion of the presentation, C/Amn Guimaraes from Florida Wing commented Im sticking to the Air Force, but [SFO] Godbees class was good, it had a lot of information in it. Then, later in the evening, Maj Triana led an Army presentation that provided the Doolies with lots of facts. Some of these facts included monthly wages, health and dental benefits and that there are over 150 jobs for potential Army personnel to choose from.
