Great work on the PFA!
The PFA has
come and
passed and it
seems like everyone has given
it their all and
excelled.
Who’s in the Spotlight?
Cadet Gallon is an AS300; he attends the
University of Akron and majors in Emergency management. He is pursuing to be
either a pilot or ALO on active duty. Cadet
Gallon’s job in the wing this semester is
Training Squadron Commander. It is his
responsibility to ensure cadets are trained
and develop their leadership skills through
out the semester. He is in the spotlight this
week due to
training support squadron
excelling the
past week
with both
HRC and the
PFA.
No Texting & Driving
Over 3000 people die each year due to
distracted driving.
What can we do about this? The simple answer is to
not do it ourselves, but I encourage you to take it farther. Don’t tolerate texting while driving. It has been
proven that when asked to not text while driving most
drivers stop. Take something that could end a life
seriously.
No Drinking & Driving
High Ropes Course
What did you learn during High Ropes Course? Several
cadets were graded on their ability to lead groups
through an obstacle during HRC. Use any opportunity
you may have to request feedback about your leadership style from your peers and the POC. Here are some
key tips when you are given the opportunity to be the
leader during a GLP:
-Make sure to state the mission clearly to all
-Use everyone in your group while brainstorming
-Make sure to delegate tasks and not to micromanage
-Try not to get stuck reworking your entire plan, be
flexible and adapt as problems arise
- Be sure you are the hub of communication
- Continually motive the group
-Have a sense of urgency from start to finish
In 2012, more than 10,000 people died in alcoholimpaired driving crashes - one every 51 minutes.
More people die from drinking and driving in a year
than the total amount of American casualties from Iraq
and Afghanistan combined. Tolerating
drinking and driving
can not happen. If
somebody has had
drinks and plans on
driving stop them and
get them a cab.
