By making this decision, you are committing yourself to an event that could quite possibly change your life! This positive change however, will only occur if you choose to make the most of the opportunity that now lies before you. Cadets attend encampment for a variety of reasons.

Encampment is designed to be a rigorous and challenging training experience so that you can learn and grow effectively. Your attitude and personal motivation for attending Encampment will play an essential role in the level of success you will experience at encampment. The vision for encampment this year is to see you progress in your development as a leader and to give you some tools that will assist you throughout your life in achieving your goals. Encampment is designed to train you in the fundamentals of Civil Air Patrol, and to give you an understanding of how to live with HONOR, utilize TEAMWORK, be DISCIPLINED, and demonstrate EXCELLENCE. I consider these four things to be the cornerstones of encampment and also to successful in life.

Leadership Reaction Course

By C/SSgt Matthew Libante

As it says in the Standard Operating Procedure the definition of leadership is as follows: Leadership is the art of influencing and directing people in a way that will win their obedience, confidence, respect, and loyal cooperation in achieving a common objective. The encampments C/ Executive Officer C/1st Lt. Bockelman proved yesterday afternoon that the cadet staff could lead the C/Basics toward success in an efficient and professional manner. Using some old tricks of the trade; 1st Lt. Bockelman challenged the staff to complete many difficult tasks. With teamwork and effective leadership skills and without any hesitation, each task was completed swiftly and efficiently.

Kitchen Patrol
By C/A1C Stephen Kemp

Kitchen Patrol (KP) is located in the Dining Hall. Each Basic Cadet will serve on KP Duty for the duration of this encampment. They will be required to wash dishes, and make and serve food. They also will clean and help anywhere they are needed, to prepare the superb meals you will consume this week.

Answers to Picture Puzzle from July 27, 2008

Make sure you dont lock your knees while standing attention in your flight. According to 1st Lt Charles Orr, the encampments Medical Officer, tensing up muscles in such areas as the knees or neck can cut blood circulation in major arteries, thus causing the blood to pool and forcing your body to work even harder to get blood to your heart and your brain. The position of attention is important, but dont let stress or negligence make you exaggerate the position to the point of locking muscles and possibly passing out. You WILL black out if you tense your muscles for a long period of time. Be aware of your body. Keep your knees and elbows slightly bent, but still look sharp and professional. Other tips to stay relaxed: - Keep hydrated and do not forget to drink plenty of water. - Use your time wisely; when you have time, iron your uniform, polish your boots, and organize your wall locker, etc. This way, you will not be stressing over miniscule items and finishing things at the last minute. - Take your time, but be efficient. Work quickly, but dont be afraid to slow down and work a little extra harder on difficult tasks. Avoid distractions and work diligently.

From the Desk of a TAC Officer

So, by this time youre probably wondering Why on earth did I (1); volunteer and (2); pay $160.00 dollars of good money that I could have spent on something really 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 encampment imbedded 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 not beyond 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! Rebecca M. Bassett, TFO, CAP Salem Composite Squadron PCR-OR-042

I thought they had a cool uniform.

Activities for the Cadet after Encampment
By 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.

Success comes before work, ONLY in the dictionary. Cadets, encampment is hard, it is one challenge after another. The only way to succeed at this encampment is to work your hardest, try your best, push beyond what you thought your limits were, keep your head up and your shoulders back and never give up. The biggest rewards come from overcoming the largest challenges. Encampment is a large challenge and the rewards are unending. Take it from someone who went twice to encampment as a basic and because she had fun. I went into encampment a scared, pathetic cadet, and came out with self confidence, self discipline, attention to detail, and a will to succeed in all I do. Hang in there. You will get through. When you look back on this week you will take pride in your accomplishments, laugh at the fun times, and go wow I made it through encampment I can make it through almost anything. Saying that, here are some tricks of the trade: When polishing your boots, small circles and a tad of water. When making your bed, tuck in one side then pull from the other to give it a tight top. For keeping your lockers in order, put it back where it came from. If you dont want to be corrected, do it right the first time. For strength to get you through your arms always being up, arm circles. For not falling over while in formation, slightly bend your knees. If your mouth is slightly dry, drink water.

uniform. Im not kidding! Thats why I joined C.A.P. I swear to God!

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-andgoes 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.

Hygiene
By C/1st Lt Sarah Bockelman

Hygiene is an extremely important part of encampment. Its so important that its mandatory. If you are not keeping up proper hygiene you get sick, your barracks stink and encampment becomes miserable. Hygiene is kept up by five main things; taking showers, brushing teeth, wearing deodorant, washing hands, and keeping barracks clean. Take showers to get sweat off of your body. Brush teeth to keep from having bad breath. Use deodorant to keep from smelling bad between showers (the cadets standing next to you appreciate this). Wash hands to keep from spreading disease. And, above all, keep your barracks clean. To prevent spread of disease and to keep your barracks smelling decent, keep the bathroom and barrack bays clean, shiny, neat, and inspection ready. Like all things at this encampment you are learning skills that can be taken into all aspects of your lives. Proper hygiene is definitely a necessary skill to have until the day you die.

Sure, the Portland Air National Guard (PANG) base may have presented the chance to see F15s, the inner workings of a fire station, and the lives of parachute jumpers (PJs), but the major highlight of our day at PANG was the chance to fire the M16A2 semi-automatic, air-cooled, gas-operated rifle. This gun is the weapon of choice for all U.S. soldiers, next to the very similar M4. Every Basic Cadet, Cadet Staff Member, and Senior Member received the chance to shoot one of these amazing rifles, and many were also able to fire the M240B, more commonly known as the SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). Of course, before all of the shooting began, we were all instructed on proper handling and safety techniques, including ear and eye protection, all thanks to the careful and eloquent teachings of MSgt Ray and SSgt Schock of the United States Air Force. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to kill or destroy. MSgt Ray

Why CAP? With C/CMSgt Burk
By C/A1C Stephen Kemp

House-Keeping Follow orders, dont get lost

From the Desk of the First Sergeant Physical Training for More than Promotions Physical training is an extremely important part of day to day living. Nearly all careers demand that you are on your feet for multiple hours, even working as a cashier or in fast food. If you are even remotely interested in joining the military it would be in your best interest to start training now and be physically fit before you begin your intense training. As you may have noticed today during the tour all of the professions that were viewed are physically demanding. For example the Para-rescue team, and the firemen. Staying physically fit is not a difficult task if you work on it on a regular basis and dont give up on reaching your physical goals. C/CMSgt Leticia Burk

Q: Why did you join Civil Air Patrol? Burk: I joined Civil Air Patrol because I met Colonel Harlan at church and I had multiple fiends that were already in C.A.P. They said it was a good thing. They liked it. They loved flying, going on trips, and everything else, so I joined C.A.P. I went to three meetings, I tested, I did PT, I did drill, and everything else and I decided to join because I liked it and I was interested in joining the military at the time.

Oregon Wing Emergency Services

Since 1941, Civil Air Patrol has strived to save lives and alleviate human suffering through a myriad of emergency services missions Search and Rescue, Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Services. CAP also carries out Counterdrug Operations and Drug Demand Reduction programs under the auspices of its Emergency Services mission. Perhaps best known for its search and rescue effort, CAP flies more than 85 percent of all inland search and rescue missions in the continental United States as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, based at Langley AFB, Va. Civil Air Patrol volunteers are on call 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, to provide search and rescue services to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, the U.S. Coast Guard, rescue coordination centers in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and state and local agencies. Missions are initiated to locate missing aircraft, aid aircraft crash victims, search for missing persons, rescue people in distress, locate the source of emergency locator transmitter signals, transport blood or organs, and transport search and rescue dog teams. Each year, CAP is credited with saving about 100 lives.
