Encampment Day 4
C/SMSgt Steiger
This morning the cadets woke up to a very cold day and some physical training with the line staff. Then they went to their rooms to get their rooms clean for the inspections. After morning formation they went down to chow to have some delicious Norwich University food. Subsequently, the cadets went to the classroom and had two classes; one about drones and an anti-drug class. This was followed by going to the Upper Parade grounds where they had flight time and uniform inspections. Later, the cadets went to the chow hall to eat a wonderful lunch. That was followed by classes about World War 2 Air Power then a class on Eservices. They had flight time to work on their drill. Thereafter the students had a History on air power followed by dinner. After dinner the cadets had another class on fighter aircraft and then finally got to get some rest. Congratulations to Delta flight for becoming the honor flight of the day. Good job Delta!

Honor Guard Academy
Cadet Honor Guard Academy – Day #4
C/CMSgt Lemay
Today the Cadet Honor Guard Academy had the remarkable opportunity to be taught by United States Air Force Honor Guardsman. Sergeant Clarke and Sergeant Bumberry of the 158th Base Honor Guard visited the cadets to explain the occupation of serving as an honor guardsman for the United States Air Force. They educated the cadets how to properly fold the United States Flag for memorial and funeral devotions.
The cadets were invited to observe and experience an Honor Guard service to a fallen military service member. Cadets had the rare opportunity to modestly display their gained knowledge in drill and ceremonies while also witnessing the Honor Guard present: a fervent playing of the taps on trumpet, a demonstration in flag folding and presentation to the family of the deceased, and a three volley salute provided by The American Legion. Afterward the cadets had the opportunity to meet with one of the members of The American Legion who had served as a Marine for the U.S. Military.
Later, the students were allowed time to speak with the Region Commander of Civil Air Patrol, Colonel LeClair and ask him any questions they had for him.
