  2. Training Schedule Analysis • Problem statement • Review of Changes to CAPR 52-16 Requirements • Overview of encampment schedule • Impact on Logistics and Mess Operations • Balancing cadet training versus activities • Changes for next year • Other observations

  3. Problem Statement The current encampment curriculum is not optimized for the new CAPR 52-16 requirements, resulting in undue strain in scheduling to accomplish 100% completion

  4. OLD US Military – 5 hours (careers, org, AE, host base) CAP-USAF – 1 hour CAP Ops – 3 hours (ES, DDR) CAP CP – 3 hours Moral Ldrshp – 3 hours LLab – 10 hours PT – 6 hours Electives – 8 hours NEW AF Fund. – 10 hours Mission of AF Aero Power Aero Heritage CAP Fund. – 10 hours ES / CP / AE Ldrshp+ Ethic – 16 hrs Moral Leadership PT Drill Creative Thinking (GLP) Aero Careers – 4 hrs Career Opps + Counseling Changes to Requirements

  5. Impact on Schedule Refer to hard copy of schedule • Electives disappeared = “regular” stuff can’t count • Added Rocketry – fits better than flight projects • ~50% of NCOA curriculum affected, incomplete coverage • NCOA added tank demonstration, lost ldrshp stuff • Added aviation history, Removed ultimate, standby inspection • Overall not everyone filled 100% - short on AF fundamentals due to CAS being so short

  6. Impact on Log and Mess Ops • Tight transportation schedule- assumes flawless operation and no difficulties • Late meals = Late KP = behind schedule • Planned + implemented 5 or 6 flights eating in 30 minute block, word on street is bottleneck @ line Suggestion: cadets decide outside what they want, before they get up to the selection areaMess Ops makes this happen (?)

  7. Balancing Between Cadet Training and Activities • Activity schedule (A-10s, helicopters, O-flights, O-course) optimized for old requirements • All activities except o-course counted towards new req’ts • Cadet training items – 30 min for inspection, 1 hour for drill, 1 hour for formations (all daily) optimized for old requirements • Formations, GLPs, Moral Leadership all count towards this req’t; overbooked

  8. Balancing Between Cadet Training and Activities (cont.) • Need to relax schedule, and either activities or training items need to be cut back • Rocketry largest contributor to this, by taking 11 hours of schedule time • Recommend eliminating 30 min daily inspection time, except for a standby inspection during the week (Tuesday or Wednesday)

  9. Changes For Next Year • Previously mentioned: cut back activities or training items • Eliminate inspection time • Others? (discussion)

  10. Other Observations • Switch to Wing echelon w/3 Flts. per Sq. • Group CC’s would be supplemental TRNG or SET staff, project officers (ex: picnic, rocketry) • Eliminate Sq. 1st Sgt, have Group and Wing 1st Sgt, PT by Group • Optimizes schedule- Sq. travels together all the time (3 Flt/block) • 1 Squadron per barracks building, easier insp. scoring • Formation could be optimized, takes too long for our size (what worked for 8 flights doesn’t work for 14) • Next staff marches out before previous is done • Double time in BDUs • Squadrons in mass formation, not line • Seniors only go out once (e.g. COC part of CC staff, doesn’t go alone)

  11. Other Observations (cont.) • Staff training must include evaluation form process – reality was confusion, procrastination, and inflated grading • Classic parade practice mistake- staff learns script while cadets wait- seniors must step in- this is a schedule + safety issue… turned out OK though • Announcements ALWAYS went over time- cadet staff can solve this one • Need at least 1 or 2 more all-hands meeting- beginning (distribute hats) + end (clean-up)is insufficient
