DAY TWO

Day Two of encampment kicked off withencampment commander Lt Col TonyUpton formally welcoming the basiccadets to Camp San Luis Obispo and thechallenge of a lifetime. Cadets attendedworship services and Moral Leadershipclasses conducted by CAP chaplains, aswell as sessions on Opportunities in CAP,Customs & Courtesies, and proper uni-form wear.

rst inspection of the week, conducted bythe ight staff.

DAY THREE

Day Three saw classes on Attitude &Discipline, USAF Airpower, Civil Air Pa-trol Structure and Operations, and moreFlight Training Activities.

The Basic Cadets slowly began to growaccustomed to morning PT (physicaltraining) well before sunrise, in the coolCentral Coast morning air!

For some unlucky Basics, all that march-ing in new boots proved to be a recipefor disaster, or at least, some seriousblisters! Fortunately, medic TSgt Menke(on loan to the encampment courtesy of the California Air National Guard) was onthe scene with blister treatments ready.Some of the Basics learned rsthand thatMoleskin is your friend!

DAY FOUR

On Day Five, the Cadet Training Groupcompleted the Cadet Physical Fitness Testand took on the Obstacle and LeadershipReaction Courses at Camp SLO. The team-building and esprit de corps fostered bythe days events were truly a sight to see.Where mere days before, these Basicswere just a bunch of individuals, the senseof team developing was unmistakable.

DAY FIVE

Without a doubt, Day Five was one of thehighlights of encampment. As if orienta-tion ights in a California Army NationalGuard CH-47 Chinook helicopter werentenough, Wednesday also brought smallarms familiarization training under theguidance of quali ed military instruc-tors, giving everyone in the group theopportunity to re an M16A2 ri e on the25 meter range at Camp SLO. Low-level

ights over the California coastline pro-vided sights few will ever forget, and asigni cant number of cadets earned NRAmarksmanship badges on the ri e range.

The Gong

CTG command staff had plotted formonths to try to make Colonel Wongbreak a smile at the nal evening for-mation of encampment. Though suchscheming is typically con ned to theTactical staff, the CTG command staff managed to teach the old folks a thingor two this time.

A battle-hardened legion was promoted to

the rank of Centurion based on at least sixteen

years of combat service and valor at the point of

the spear. They were able to carry ninety pounds

of equipment at least twenty miles per day and

train under the harshest of conditions. They

held ultimate sway over the welfare of every

man who served in his hundred-man century.
