After a rendezvous with 5 cadets from Hammond Composite Squadron and 3 from Capital City Composite, 3 cadets from Ascension Climbed aboard the Hammond van to do a little training on the 5 hour trip up. The cadets practiced Radio Communications communicating between the vans and studied the Encampment knowledge book. They practiced everything from how to answer questions with a firm command voice to basic drill movements every time we exited the van. By the time we arrived at encampment, they seemed motivated and confident (well, as good as it can get when you are facing a week of having to keep your bed made and socks folded.)
The first pictures from encampment shows lots of activity. It is not likely they will get bored. Below is one of the pictures taken from the CAP Louisiana Wing Encampment facebook page.
