Military Ball

Military Ball was a great and fun experience for everyone! The speaker did an outstanding job and gave some really good, motivational advice. The food was also good. It was a great opportunity for bonding among the Cadets. Everyone had a great time.

Tri-Service Flag Football Tournament

The Tri-Service Flag Football Tournament was a great experience to build warrior ethos in the cadets on the fields of friendly strife. As General Douglas MacArthur said, "Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days will bear the fruits of victory." It was also an excellent opportunity to build camaraderie between the cadets off different services. The tournament resulted in Air Force beating both Army and Navy, coming away with the trophy.

LLAB 13

Career day was an interesting experience for the cadets to get an idea of what they want to do after commissioning. It was interesting to see all the different types of careers one can have in the Air Force. After career day, the cadets had a chance to interact with the visitors in a less structured setting and ask any questions they might have. There was also pizza, it was delicious.

LLAB 12 (ORW II)

ORW II was a great learning experience for everyone. The trainers and flight commanders got excellent practice and really learned a lot. The GMC also had a good time getting extra AEF training. The POC also took part in the flights during ORW II giving a good example for the GMC cadets to follow. After ORW II ended, the October Awards were held. This was fun and built warrior ethos among the Cadet Wing.

LLAB 11

LLAB 11 was a new and fun experience for the GMC cadets. It involved a training exercise in which the cadets reenacted a deployment scenario. Each cadet was put in a group and each group was given a specific task. The POC acted as nationals of a foreign land as GMC tried to navigate and complete the overall mission of saving the president. When the exercise first began, the civil engineering group was tasked with setting up a camp. The firing squads guarded the area while a perimeter was set in place. The security forces groups set up and began guarding two ECPs, one at the west side of the camp and one at the east. The medic team setup their supplies in a designated area and began tending to any "injured" cadets. When the camp was completed, the firing squads set off on an expedition to rescue the president. The only information given to the squads was the location of the president, the basement of Herman Hall. The squads had to use the hand signals, room clearing, and defensive skills they had learned to infiltrate the building which was filled with hostile locals. Many were killed throughout the journey. By the time the president was found and secured, only three members of the originally fifteen member party remained. The three led the president safely back to the camp. Only one member of the squad and the president made it through the ECP and into the base before the ECP was attacked and the other two fire squad members were killed. Hostiles continued to attack the base and many cadets were killed in the struggle. Eventually, the exercise came to an end. This operation was a great learning experience. Putting their training into practice was an awesome way of helping the cadets solidify it in their minds and help learn even more new tactics.
