LLAB 10

This LLAB was very exciting as we got to learn the basics of Air Expeditionary Forces Tactics.The GMC Cadets got to learn to communicate using hand signals, to challenge intruders, to deal with un-exploded ordinances, and Self Aid Buddy Care. Meanwhile, the POC Cadets got to enjoy a motivational PT session and an ORI. The motivational PT consisted of three competitive events holding the guidon at present arms, holding the front leaning rest, holding one's feet six inches above the ground. The winners were C/Capt Coomes, C/Capt Snider, and C/Col Barrows,  respectively.

LLAB 9

In LLAB 9, the GMC were trained on reveille and retreat procedures. As military members it is incredibly important for us to be able to properly pay give respect to the flag. Additionally, this week, JROTC Cadets came and shadowed the GMC throughout LLAB. This gave the JROTC Cadets an opportunity to experience what ROTC is really like.

LLAB 8

This past weekend LLAB 8,  MULLAB, and RWW were held at Great Lakes Naval Station. This was a
great training experience for all involved. Cadets were in different flights awhich mixed the IMT cadets with FTP cadets. Watching FTP cadets is the best way for the IMT cadets to learn and is very
beneficial to their training. Cadets also got the oppurtunity to stay overnight in the
dorms at the base. This was a fun experience and it was cool to get to experience what life can be like on a base. Overall, it was a great weekend.

LLab 7

Good Evening Cadets!


I hope everyone enjoyed LLab 7 this week. This week the 100's covered marching and also for their first time they covered ORI procedures. You 100's are looking great and you all are showing great improvement! Keep up the outstanding work! The 200's, on the other hand, received a refresher in ORI's and Squadron Marching. Again keep up the outstanding work 200's! It only gets harder from here on now. You are only a few months away from going to Field Training. Do your best, show effort and motivation, and lastly be competitive! Slots to Field Training are not handed out to you... they are awarded to you. Only hard work and dedication will help you succeed. Keep it up!

LLab 6

Good Afternoon Cadets!


We just recently had LLab 6 on Thursday the 27th, 2012, but this wasn't any kind of LLab. This LLab was the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). We take PFA's so we can show that we are battle ready and able to be deployed. On top of that, the PFA is meant to show you how far can you push your body limits. When competing for Field Training, your PFA scores will count so aim for high scores such as a 90% to 95% or higher.  Yes, it may be tough for some of us, but that shouldn't mean you can give up. Always show 100% in everything you do no matter how difficult something is. Everyone did an outstanding job Thursday. Keep it up! For you cadets that didn't pass the first time around, don't stress about it too much. There is always another PFA around  the corner. Train more, keep a clear head, show confidence, and hydrate!
