Last week during Lead Lab the cadets had the privilege of listening to a variety of different Majors in the USAF and the officers each talked about the highlights of their particular career field. The cadets were able to both listen and learn from the experience of each officer that was present. The jobs of the officers present ranged from multiple pilots for different aircraft, navigation, civil engineering, and security forces. The cadets were able to get a broad idea of what day-to-day life in each career field entails.
Yesterday the cadets built on their AEF training previously learned in the semester. The cadets went into the field to practice Land Navigation, Self Aid Buddy Care, Small Unit Tactics, as well as added new concepts. The cadets were able to learn proper procedures for searching a vehicle, prisoner searching and detainment and UXO and IED precautions. The cadets were able to use their prior learned skills from previous weeks, and were able to learn a few more. The cadets worked together very well in the field with the FTP cadets leading the squadrons, and other cadets executing commands. After the cadets finished their AEF training they participated in a Warrior Run to work on physical training as well as improve squadron morale.
