Day 3: PT, Classes, Sports, and VIP Appearances
The encampment cadets started off their day with PT, performing exercises such as wall-sits, jumping-jacks, and much more. Morning Formation was completed and by 0715, the cadets were off to breakfast in the chow hall.
When chow ended, the cadets were marched to the classrooms where aerospace classes were presented to them by their staff. After showering and changing to ABUs, the cadets were taught a very informative class by Col. Kyle Fransdale, a CAP USAF Pilot, and Col. Matt Hunter, a former C-5 Pilot.
Beginning at 1200, the NHWG Academy was given the great honor and privilege of hosting Mr. John A. Fedrigo, the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, Ms. Noël "Christy" Nolta, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Reserve Affairs and Airman Readiness, Col. Alicia A. Matteson, the Senior Military Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, and Chief Master Sergeant Dustin L. Hall, the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. We were indescribably honored to have them join us for lunch to eat and interact with all of the cadets, senior members, and staff. They then took a tour of the Norwich campus with Lt Col Riis to see each of the activities the cadets were currently involved in.
After our VIPs left, cadets came back to the barracks from various classes and activities to change into their PT gear and go to the field to play Capture the Flag. Once they were finished with their game, we had evening formation which was immediately followed by another amazing dinner.
After dinner, the cadets came back to the barracks to quickly organize their rooms for another dormitory inspection which was followed by a short talk about S.M.A.R.T. Goals and time management. Next up was personal time followed shortly by lights out.
