WCT, English Class, etc....
Well, I suppose I should update sometime. I made blog on this site a
really really long time ago and forgot the passwprd. Unfortunately the
e-mail address that I used to register for that blog is no longer. So a
few weeks ago I made this one and I just haven't gotten around to
updating it yet. Now I am...
Last weekend we had the Wing Cadet Training (WCT) at Wing HQ. It went very well. If I remember correctly, there were 58 Cadets, 14 Senior members and 66 o-rides. The cadet executive staff (Weeks, Zac and I) all worked well together wich made things a lot easier. It was amazing, and with the exception of a medical emergency that is now on its way to recovery, it went off without a hitch.
One cadet even conquered his fear of heights at the WCT. He went on his first o-flight on Saturday and, while still in the air, realized that he was extreamly afraid of heights. After landing, he was very shaken and definitely glad to be on the ground. After he calmed down a little and we all talked to him for a while, he returned to his flight (The AE flight). The next day though, he informed us that he wanted to try it again! So he went up again and actually enjoyed it! Not only did he go up one more time, but he went up twice after his first not-so-good flight. It was one of the coolest things when after he landed, he found me, gave me a hight five and said "I did it!" That whole experience helped remind me why I'm still in CAP. I was once just as scared as him when I had to jump out of the jump tower and go through the obstical course at Ft. Bragg. But there were some awsome SMs and cadet staff that were right there helping me though it all and eventually I faced my fear. Because of that whole ordeal I can help cadets in the same position, and that is truly one of the most rewarding things ever. I can't wait until the next WCT!
Believe it or not, I did not have the camera with me, but I do have a few pictures that Zac sent to me. Here is a picture of me, one of the flight commanders and Weeks in the background later on Sunday afternoon. By this time we were all rather faitgued (and you know what a symptom of fatigue is... Slap happiness!) and ready to go home.
I just had English/Grammar and Creative Writing classes today (not my favorite subject in the world) so I'm a bit paranoid as far as punctuation, split infinitives and other random grammar rules. Please don't critique too harshly... ;)

Posted by flapjacks Hello,
I saw your Avatar as one of those most recently signed in and I had a look because it's such a lovely picture. Then I found you have chosen one of my favourite verses too!
What a shame you lost the password to your other blog :-( I changed mine to something I was sure to remember, after various adventures with false attempts at entering it.
Regards,
Alice
