All the old garbage you can handle!

Features :: Squadron Alert! : 16. The Trap
"Looks like our cadet supply officer is nailed with the goods." There was no mistaking the triumph in Ed Dawson's tone as he gathered with the others about Tom. "What's going on, Tom? What are you doing with this stuff?" Ralph Cross asked anxiously. Continue reading
Resources :: Recruiting Posters
You might be asking "Why do recruiting materials in Microsoft Word?" Well, the answer is: "Most people have Microsoft Office, or at least access to it, and doing these posters in Word allows folks to customize them without a lot of work and knowledge of a specific software package." I could be doing these things in Pagemaker or Illustrator all day long, but when the Joe Podunk Cadet Squadron wants a poster, they have to be able to modify it to suit their needs. Continue reading

wrc_logo.gifYou don't have to be a fan of the World Rally Championship to enjoy this video. Heck, you don't have to like car racing at all. Tell you what: even if you've never seen a car before in your entire life - you will completely dig this video. It streams out at 700k per second, so you're best off with a high speed connection. After you're done watching the video, you can go out to the official website of the World Rally Championship. What does this have to do with CadetStuff? Not a darn thing, but it's cool.
Drill :: You flunked flank?
Dear Dr. Drill,
My flight sergeants are pretty good at clearing up confusion about facing movements, but flanking movements are definitely not our strongest points. My flight commander and flight sergeant say two different things about flanking movements. My problem isn't with marching and them calling the movements, but it's from a stationary position that I don't get. How are you supposed to do a left and right flank from a stationary position?
