June 19-21 was the Group 3 BCS/ATS. BCS is Basic Cadet School. There were cadets in that school who had only been in CAP for 2 months. ATS is Airmen Training School. ATS if for more advanced cadets. One cadet who went was given her Wright Brothers Award the next day. Squadron 56 had 3 cadet staff members go: C/1st Lt Philp (ATS Flight Commander), C/SMSgt Swanson (Charlie Flight Sergeant), and C/MSgt Schuster (Echo Flight Commander). There was also one cadet from the Squadron who went, C/A1C Araujo.
Morning PT
This weekend was meant to be intense to prepare these cadets for Encampment this summer. The cadet staff that went had to face many challenges to make this last weekend possible and to the proper standards. In addition to these challenges, the cadet staff also had to face difficulties in training and ensuring the safety of the flight at all times.
Congratulations to the cadet who made it through this program. Other cadets are encouraged to go to future BCS/ATS.
