Tonight, Alpha Flight covered how to preform opening formation from a Flight Sergeant’s perspective. We used AFMAN 36-2203 – Air Force Drill & Ceremonies to demonstrate and describe the formation and order of events in order to prepare Alpha Flight cadets to be flight sergeants. Topics discussed were:
- Posted positions of the Flight Sergeant
- Posted positions of other Staff
- Aligning the squadron
- Reporting procedures during formation
Additionally, Alpha Flight discussed drill of the flight. Specifically, we discussed how a flight sergeant moves around the flight while drilling in order to keep an eye on all the cadets in the flight.
