I still remember my basic encampment. The moment those van doors opened the staff were shouting we were rushing out and the most formative week of my life so far began! It was hard but it was worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears I spent because I came out a stronger and more confident person. Bring back hard encampments. We can handle it.
That’s awesome! Back in the day I was the Cadet Commander for Byrd Field Cadet Squadron. Our best encampment was at Seymour Johnson AFB which was joint SAC/TAC at that time with B52’s, KC135’s, and F4 Phantoms. I have a lot of photos from it. We landed in a C130 which I thought was very loud, and something on the plane kept banging the whole trip LOL! When we got out on the tarmac the air strip was buzzed by four F16’s which I imagine may or maybe wasn’t planned. We mainly had a drill team, and practiced finding the transponders for a simulated downed plane. I wish we had a confidence course these cadets had! We never rapelled either. Contact me if you want the old photos of our time at SJ AFB or Byrd Field you might find them interesting. Loved this video and my time in CAP!

Perfectly captures the encampment experience! Kudos PA team!

I’m so sorry but your “Back in the day” almost killed me, holy crap💀
Awesome video, and outstanding soundtrack.
Easily the best Encampment recap video I've ever seen.
