Dancing as fast as we can!

pj_98_flash.gif (7663 bytes)Ah, those four magic letters: P-J-O-C! What Cadet hasn't considered a trip out to the most rigorous Cadet Special Activity ever conceived? Who hasn't trembled in fear and wet himself at the very thought of being at the tender mercies of MSgt Miller and his fearsome Pararescuemen. Who wouldn't want to read our interview with the man himself and find out what PJOC is really all about?

C/Maj Mike Crockett, CAPCadetStuff Staff member Mike Crockett proves that we are potty trained with his engrossing discussion of the toilet facilities at National Blue Beret. Okay, sure, there's more to the article than just the plumbing. There's also personal hygiene, deafness and shaving in forbidden areas. If you're going to NBB be sure to read this article - and lay off the bran cereal, huh?

LtCol Ron Padavan again attempts to diseminate his extensive knowledge with a discussion of how to hang on to the people you recruit. Believe it or not, repeated trips to the pit and reenactments from Full Metal Jacket are not on his list of recomendations! Instead, he thinks you should challenge them and keep them busy! Go figure!

Maj Bob Haase, CAPFollowing on that same theme, Maj Bob Haase has somehow or other convinced himself that cadets want more out of the organization than the opportunity to play cards and swap gossip at tea parties while wearing big hats and nibbling tiny sandwiches with the crusts cut off. He's got some sort of crazy idea that cadets want to learn and train!

And finally, as a bit of an add-on treat, Scott Matthews does it again with his latest "Encampment Commercial."  Francis Ford Coppola, Spike Jonze, and Michael Bay better watchout, this guy is going to be a big time director, but we can all say "I was watching his stuff way back when in the OLD days!"  We still think he never sleeps.
