Today in history:

President Truman signed the National Security

Act creating the USAF as a separate service

(1947).

Famous pilot, Jacqueline Cochran, sets a new

speed record for women by flying over 203 mph

in 1937.

Is it already the End of Day 4?

You are half way through the week and doing a fantastic job! Keep your head up and do the same for your wingman! We hope

you are learning all you can and making friends and memories. Don’t forget to drink water and pay attention in classes,

Encampment is a great learning experience!

General Knowledge:

When you enter a classroom, be

sure to stand at attention until

told otherwise.

Never walk through a formation!

You must walk around it.

Do not approach cadets without

their flight staff’s permission.

Rank outweighs grade.

Staff Spotlight:

Encampment Cadet Deputy Commander

C/Capt Nicholas Lake

Cadet Captain Nickolas Lake is this year’s

MIWG Encampment Cadet Deputy Command-

er. His home squadron is the Lt Col Keehn

Composite Squadron located in Flint. As the C/

CD, he is the next person in the cadet chain of

command under the cadet commander to inter-

act with the Squadron and Line Staff. C/Capt

Lake heard about CAP first while going to

lunch at school in 2011. His biggest inspiration

is Maj Michelle Benn because she was his first

real leader in the program and taught him to

reach outside his comfort zone. This will be his

5th encampment and his favorite being all of it.

Fun Fact: The large Ice Capps at Tim Hortons

cost $3.38.

Daily Safety Reminder*:

Shower! Clean yourself every day.

Brush your teeth and wear deodorant - both of these are mandatory!

*Avoid the Lake.

Random Fact of the Day:
