THE SPEED OF THE LEADER IS DETERMINED BY THE RATE OF THE PACK!!! 3 SICK CALL/HEALTH Should you get sick or injured at OVLS: - Cadets will report to Sick Call Room for any medical problems FIRST. Instructor personnel will make the determination if cadet needs further assistance through host Air Force Clinics/Hospital. - Sick Call Clinic hours will be posted and briefed to cadets. - Hospital/Emergency Room are used only outside normal duty hours - Parental consent forms must accompany sick/injured cadet - All medications will be under the control of cadets SASI/ASI. - All recurring medications (daily—allergies, antibiotics, etc) prescribed by a physician will be under control of the SASI/ASI and administered IAW school policies. - Cadets will not be authorized to keep any over the counter medications – EVERYTHING MUST BE TURNED IN UPON ARRIVAL OVLS - Parental permission must be received prior to any cadet taking any over the counter medications (pain relievers, cold medications, etc) this permission must be in writing - Home school instructors and OVLS staff must be informed, in writing by a qualified physician, of all medical conditions affecting a cadet that could hinder their training. The medical condition must be identified, explained, and restrictions listed. Cadets will not be excused from training activities unless a verifiable medical condition exists. Cadets not able to participate in training will be evaluated by a qualified physician and placed on restriction to recover - Any injury or condition that will prevent a cadet from participating in training may be grounds for dismissal. A case by case review will be conducted to determine if a cadet will be sent home or stay at OVLS with limitations. IF A CADET IS SENT HOME, CREDIT FOR OVLS WILL BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COMMANDER, (every attempt will be made to retain every cadet) - Cadets who seek medical aid and complain of not being able to perform training will be evaluated and school instructor will be notified. The instructor will make the decision to contact a parent/guardian, seek addition medical care, or send cadet home. - Any cadet who cannot participate in one activity will not be permitted to participate in other activities until illness/injury is re-evaluated and cadet is cleared for training. Example: a cadet complains of stomach pains or soreness in the morning and cannot participate in physical training, but feels good by mid-day to participate in canoeing and other activities. Cadets who continually use sick call as an avenue to not participate in training will be evaluated by the school instructor for continuance at OVLS or dismissal.

SEVEN BASIC RESPONSES 10 PHYSICAL FITNESS Physical fitness is an integral part of the OVLS. We encourage all of our cadets to maintain a healthy lifestyle and actively engage in numerous physical activities. Accordingly, we will expose you to a number of physical fitness activities, to include morning physical training (PT), drill, and sports such as volleyball, swimming, and ultimate Frisbee. We will also administer the OVLS Physical Fitness Test (PFT), see attachments for detailed PFT information, and if you pass you will receive points toward your overall OVLS composite score. Additionally, we will identify the most physically fit cadets at OVLS with the Iron Man/Iron Woman and Fleetfoot awards. The PFT consists of three events; sit-ups, push-ups, and a 1-mile run. The score sheet we will use is included in this guide. You must achieve the required repetitions and the minimum score, to successfully pass the PFT. All cadets should be able to complete the PFT prior to arriving at OVLS. You don’t have to pass the PFT to successfully complete OVLS, but you are highly encouraged to do your best. Recommend you prepare for the rigors of physical activity prior to arriving at camp. If you do not have an active lifestyle or exercise regularly, it is encouraged you start preparing yourself NOW. Before arriving at OVLS, you should know how to do each exercise on the PFT. See attachments for PFT procedures -- general rules and exercise completion guidelines. BAY/ROOM INSPECTIONS All Bay/Room Inspections will be conducted while cadets are performing other training activities or present as a standby inspection – cadets should expect no-notice inspections and be ready at all times during the training day until 1800 hours. The First Inspection will be a “FREE INSPECTION”, thereafter; all inspections will be annotated on the inspection sheet as shown in this guide. Should a cadet receive a repeat write-up, that problem area will receive double discrepancy points (minus) from the previous day’s amount and so forth, until the problem is corrected (continued violations and you will fail inspection on that day). Personal area discrepancies are accountable only to the cadet living in that room area. Common area discrepancy points for common room/bay areas (inside or outside) are assessed to all cadets living in the room/bay (everyone in the room/bay is responsible for common bay areas – work together) 1. All Room/Personal Area Inspection Forms MUST have cadet’s printed name (First and Last, Must Be Legible) on them as well as Floor, Flight, and Bed Number information. They must be displayed on the desk – flush with the front and centered from side to side. Inspection sheets must be reviewed/initialed every day there is an inspection. NOTE: Common room areas (floor, sink, window, blinds, etc); bathrooms (bathroom, toilet, shower, closet, floor, etc); and common bay areas (hallways, common day room) are the responsibility of all persons who share the common area. Any discrepancy and points will be deducted from each person responsible for the appropriate common area. PAIN IS INEVITABLE - SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL 11 2. All inspection forms that are missing, soiled, torn, or damaged will be assessed up to 30 discrepancy points daily. Forms not initialed as required will receive 10 demerits. 3. After the first inspection, if you do not have your name on your form, your form is not present, or you fail to review/initial properly you will be automatically removed for any honors consideration at this school. Attention to detail and following simple instructions will insure this does not happen. 4. Each room and bay area will remain in “Inspection Order” even after the initial inspection by the inspection team. Spot checks are possible at any time until 1800 hours. 5. Inspection forms will be completed by inspector and returned – Bay Chiefs will ensure forms are reviewed and initialed by each cadet and appropriate corrections are made. 6. Additional inspection sheets are available and must be requested by the Bay Chief from the NCOIC, Standardization and Inspection. (See Attachment 7) 7. Any and all lights will be turned off when ALL cadets leave their room, floor, dorm. 8. Blinds will be open, with slats parallel to the floor, when cadets are not in the room. 9. Room Thermostat will be set at 68 degrees, when cadets are not in the room. Safety Exceptions: A small light may be left on in the room during hours of darkness or when cadets are present. Outside lights will be left on at all times during hours of darkness whether cadets are present or not. NOTE: CTA’s will check for room accountability (headcount)/security – room doors closed. Bay Chief will be the last one out of the Bay in the morning. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS - Clean clothing will be hung up or in civilian luggage. If dirty, place in a laundry bag - Sleeping on top of sheets/blankets will not be tolerated. ALL BEDS will be made every morning, insuring that you take all the wrinkles out--TEAMWORK IS VITAL. Help your buddy and your buddy will help you. NOTE: ONCE A BED IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS, STAFF WILL NOT TRASH BEDS (PULL BACK BLANKETS, PULL OUT CORNERS, PULL MATTRESS FROM FRAME, ETC) FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CADETS HAVING TO REACCOMPLISH. HOWEVER, BEDS THAT ARE NOT WITHIN STANDARDS OR JUST PLAIN LACKING ANY EFFORT WILL BE DEALT WITH DURING DAILY ROOM INSPECTIONS. - CTA’s are placed within the Bays as a liaison between cadets and Staff, use the chain of command. Lights out is between 2200 and 2230 hours (schedule dependent): No one will be up after this time except for emergency situations (like going to the latrine). Cadets staying up after lights out to do details or just talk with other cadets will not be tolerated. Lights Outs means QUIET and GO TO SLEEP!! Cadets will not get up in the morning prior to being told. The schedule ensures adequate rest is provided. REST – REST – REST – REST – REST 12 ROOM SET-UP/DETAILS 1. Complete the “Dorm Floor/Room Assignments” sheet (included in this package). This tells who is assigned to what bed in case of an emergency. Empty beds also need to be annotated on the form as “EMPTY”. PLACE THIS FORM ON THE WALL TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROOM ENTRY DOOR APPROXIMATELY EYE LEVEL. NOTE: This form is an inspectable item and must remain updated – RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BAY CHIEF AND ROOM OCCUPANTS. 2. Work as a team (Buddy System) and appoint a key person to be “In Charge or Responsible” for any detailed area within the room, such as shoes, floors, latrine, beds, uniforms, etc. Bay Chiefs are ultimately responsible for all areas within their bay, to include rooms. They should be “checking” and “following up” to insure the job/details is being done correctly. Attention to detail will get the job done correctly the first time around. 3. Set up your room/personal area the night before as much as possible. This will give you more time to “fine tune” any problem areas in the morning. 4. Each cadet must have their personal copy of the 2014 OVLS Cadet Guide posted on their desk – grounded to the front of the desk and centered next to their daily Room/Personal Inspection sheet. The guide must have the cadet name – failure to have this guide posted on the desk will result in points being deducted from daily room inspection. n a m e Dorm Floor/Room Assignment Desk Cadet Guide Inspect Sheet ROOM/BAY STANDARDIZATION GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: - All personal areas will be set up in the same configuration as instructed per room standardization - Notify Bay Chief of any unserviceable items as soon as possible - Beds will be clean - Shoes will be clean and shined as appropriate (see shoe display section page 15). - Pay special attention to your Wall Locker where you hang your uniforms, clothes, and keep toiletries, underwear, socks, etc in the drawers.

KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW 13 - IMPORTANT!!!! Each cadet will review his/her Room/Personal Inspection Sheet daily and place their initials in the appropriate column (below inspector’s name) – this will indicate you have reviewed the sheet and understand discrepancies as noted. Failure to initial the form, place initials in the correct box/column will result in additional discrepancy points being added to the next inspection. Cadets will only initial the form when an inspection has been conducted and on the correct day – initials on a day when an inspection was not conducted or wrong day will result in additional discrepancy points. (Also see Room Inspection Section) BEDS (USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM): - Frame - dust/clean where required--insure no trash or dirt on bed or floor around bed - Sheets – Both sheets will have hospital corner folds and be tight to the bed. - Blanket/Bedspread – Will be tight to the bed and folded under the mattress with hospital corners and a four inch white collar made from the “TOP” sheet (sheet folded over blanket). - Pillow – Will require a pillowcase and placed at the head of the bed with top of pillow grounded to the end of the bed frame, bottom of the pillow grounded to the top of the four inch white collar and centered on the mattress.

The PFT will be administered in the following order: Push-ups, Sit-ups, and the 1 mile run (see attached exercise charts for both male and female PFT standards) -- detailed PFT standards and procedures will be addressed by your instructor and reaffirmed at OVLS. Basic exercise guidelines for each event are as follows: Push-Ups: Cadets will start in the up position with their arms fully extended and their feet no wider than shoulder width. Cadets will complete as many repetitions as possible for a one-minute period. A correct repetition consists of the body remaining straight throughout the exercise and ensuring the elbows make a 90-degree angle. Cadets may rest in the up position while arching their backs. Sit-Ups: Cadets will start in the down position lying on their backs and feet spread no wider than shoulder width. Knees must remain at a 90-degree angle throughout the exercise. Furthermore, cadets will do as many repetitions as possible for a oneminute period. A correct repetition consists of the arms being crossed resting on the torso/shoulder area. Cadets will raise themselves up until the elbows touch the knees/upper thighs and then return down until the shoulder blades contact the ground. Cadets may rest in the up position, but may not rest their hands/elbows on their knees. 1 Mile Run: Cadets will complete a 1 mile run on a measured running surface.
