 Join
the merry band of revelers, minstrels and cadets at National Cadet
Officer's School as they attempt to traverse acid baths, weather the
weather (that's a pun!), and attempt to deal with a Civil Air Patrol
course that doesn't involve formations and marching, but emphasizes leadership
and learning. Read along as C/Lt Col Dan Upshaw provides us with a Report
from the Field: Cadet Officer's School.
 Smoking
isn't allowed in the Cadet Program, but then General Frank Savage
isn't a cadet, and its the middle of WWII. Visit Major Curt
Lafond's legendary analysis of leadership lessons and techniques
cleverly disguised in the film "12 O'Clock High," in Smoking
With Ernie, reprinted from the archives of "The CAP
Officer."
 Oshkosh
2002 is a whole year away now, but you can see what you missed this
year with The Top 100 Ways You
Know You've Been at NBB Too Long, brought back from Central
Wisconsin hidden in a wheel of cheese by our own C/Maj Mike Crockett.
 Capt Matt Heusser finally
concludes his Tolstoy-esque dissertation on cadet promotion boards. If
you haven't read any of it, start at the beginning,
and READ IT! It just might change your opinion on the need for cadet
promotion boards at the squadron level. With further delay, here's the
final installment of Board of the Rings (Part
3).
 Scott
Matthews continues his cross-country trek, toting his wicked expensive
Canon XL-1 DV camera and a suitcase full of dirty laundry (except when
the airlines lose that suitcase) in a quest to document the best parts
of all the National Cadet Special Activities for posterity and for
art. From one coast to the other, from McMinneville, OR to
Blackstone, VA, follow Scott and his errant luggage in Scott's Big
Adventure. (Please note: Unlimited digital technology, and the
only picture we have of the guy is from his wedding. If someone @ PJOC
is reading this, take a picture of Orson Wells there, preferably
wearing his CadetStuff t-shirt and send it to
us, eh?)
