Cadet Staff - Information
 
 
This page is to provide you with information to help you understand what is expected of you and what you can expect at the encampment as a Cadet Staff Member.

First of all - expect to have fun. The encampment experience as a staff member is totally different than as a cadet in flight. There is great satisfaction in figuring out how to accomplish things and in doing a good job. It's fun being part of a team.

If you are a Flight Commander you will have a Senior Member TAC officer, if you are an OIC (Officer in Charge) you will have a Senior Mentor. In either case, you have an adult who usually has advanced skills in the particular area and is a significant resource in helping you to define and implement your job.

We have an infrastructure designed to support you:  ADMIN, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, MEDICAL, MESS OPERATIONS, LOGISTICS, COMMUNICATIONS, TRAINING, STANDARDS & EVALUATIONS. These departments have the responsibility and the authority to handle all activities defined by that department. The Cadet Staff Member is in charge, there is one Senior Member assigned as a mentor to each department, but he/she is there as a resource - to help you accomplish your mission.

 What can you do to better prepare yourself?

  • As a member of staff, you are a role model. Make sure your uniforms are correct.
  • Make sure your boots fit and are broken in. Any medical issue will affect your ability to do your job.
  • OWN your job.  Do your very best and it will show.
