Summary
The Autumn FTX was a success! Our first night was a bit cold, but we pulled through thanks to double-layered sleeping bags and some very impressive campfires. Saturday warmed up a bit and we managed to avoid most of the rain that was forecast for the day, carrying out a full slate of aircrew survival training. Thanks to everyone who pulled together to make the weekend a success.
This week, we still have our optional training night running on Monday, including Mrs. Gowans’ Effective Speaking class. On Wednesday, we’re going to keep things academically light and conduct our semi-annual cadet fitness testing.
We also have a Cadet Dag Days fundraising weekend coming up this weekend. Each cadet is required to sign up for two shifts of fundraising.
Expect the pace of cadet activities to decrease somewhat as we head into December.
