Seventy seven cadets represeting 5 wings had a taste of boot camp as they participated in the 2010 ALMS encampment held the week of June 19-26 at the Air National Guard's Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulport, MS. The cadets were exposed to training and activities covering military customs and courtisies, emergency services, as part of the annual Civil Air Patrol event.

The cadets were exposed to a wide range of activites including a familiariazation flight in a KC-135 tanker, tours of Keesler Air Force Base and the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum, trainin in military drill and dicipline and instruction in CAP knowledge.
On par with basic military trainning, the cadets were inspected each day by the standards and evaluation training team. The STAN/EVAL team inspected their barracks, bunks and uniforms on a daily basis and quizzed them on such topics as the Cadet Oath and Chain of Command.
Encampment also serves as an opportunity for more experienced cadets in the Civil Air Patrol to gain leadership experience. While the event is organized and supervised by Senior Members, the day to day activies and training sessions are all lead by other cadets.

Thank you for supporting the Mississippi Wing.
