Day 4 began at 0545 with the cadets getting up and leaving for PT at 0600. At 0645, they were marched back up to the main field for morning formation after which was breakfast. From breakfast, cadets went back to their dorms to shower and change into ABUs. Alpha and Bravo flights used some of this time to clean up their rooms for another dormitory inspection. Inspection began at 0930 for Alpha and Bravo while Charlie flight was taught a class entitled “Introduction to Cyber Domain,” and Delta flight was given a flight level performance evaluation. From 1045 to 1145 the academy was split between two presentations: a Norwich Presentation for cadets 16+ and a class about NCSAs for cadets below the age of 16. After the two events concluded, the entire academy made its way to lunch. After lunch, Alpha flight participated in Drill and Ceremonies while Bravo flight attended an Introduction to the Cyber Domain from 1300-1415. With the events switching between the two flights from 1415-1530 they didn’t meet up until 1530 for the class Teamwork for Performance. After lunch Charlie and Delta flight had dormitory inspections from 1300-1415 until it was time for them to attend their Teamwork for Performance class from 1430-1530. Afterwards, Charlie flight had some drill time which occurred while Delta attended an Introduction to the Cyber Domain.

HONOR FLIGHT OF THE DAY:
BRAVO FLIGHT
Today, the NHWG CAP Academy was honored yet again in having Mr. Curt LaFond, the Director of Cadet Programs, join us as special guest all the way from National.
Mr. LaFond has made innumerable accomplishments in his CAP life including writing the four Learn to Lead books that every cadet must read and test on in order to receive promotions. He is an amazing example of great leadership and it truly was an honor to have him here at the academy interacting with and teaching our cadets face to face.
