1st Lt Cindi Wachholz, the 2009 Wisconsin Wing Encampment Assistant Public Affairs Officer, gave us this account of Sunday's activities at Camp Ripley.

After learning how to make their beds, stow their gear, and prepare their uniforms (yesterday), all of the cadets participated in the Stand-By Inspections. Basic School Cadets, were also evaluated on their Drills.

The Wisconsin Wing Encampment's Medical Team is ready (and waiting) to help cadets, whether they need a band-aid or a pep talk. Medical includes: Maj Rognrud, Senior Member Fisher and 2d Lt Croel.

Today, the cadets in all three schools had a lot of classroom time. The Color Guard spent the morning learning etiquette and history of our flag.

After Basic Academy survived their first inspection, they spent time in Moral Leadership classes under the direction of Maj Schulz and Lt Croel.

After a studious (and slightly stressful) morning, the cadets were happy to be at chow!

Basic School was back to Drill and Ceremonies after lunch. The CGA was filling their time in the classroom learning Change of Command skills, taught by Capt Vriezen.

The WCA worked together in their afternoon Problem Solving class, taught by Lt Croel. Learning leadership skills means also learning to work together as a team.
