REPORT TIMES:  Senior Staff: 0830 - Cadet Staff - 0830 - All others - 0845.    

SAFETY BRIEFING: 0845-0900.  The daily Safety Briefing is not optional - ALL MEMBERS are expected to attend.  

"If you're early, you're on-time.  If you're on-time, you're late.  If you're late, go home."

PARENTS - Pick-up Time: 12:30 PM.  WE ARE NOT SURE HOW LONG THE EVENT WILL TAKE.  It is possible that your cadet might have to stay for a short additional time if the ceremony runs long.  If anyone other than your cadet's parent or guardian is picking them up after the event, you MUST provide a letter (or email) authorizing us to release your cadet to this other person.  Parents are respectfully requested to make every effort to pick-up on time.  We understand that traffic and distance are a problem but many of our Senior Members and Cadet Staff will be attending for the entire event and it isn't fair to them if you are late.  They must wait until the last cadet is picked-up to leave themselves.

CADETS MAY NOT: Wander off alone or touch any equipment that they are not asked to touch.  Excessive cell phone use will result in a senior member holding your phone until dismissal.

CONTRABAND ITEMS:  Weapons of any kind including all knives in 24-hour packs, video games, sports equipment (baseballs, footballs, etc), energy drinks, vaping equipment.  All contraband items will be held by a senior member and returned at the end of the event.

U.O.D.:  Air Force Dress Blues (or cadet alternate - white collared shirt & black pants with shined shoes).  NOTE - ALL UNIFORMS MUST BE PRESSED, ALL UNIFORM ITEMS MUST BE WORN CORRECTLY!! GRADE INSIGNIA AND RIBBONS MUST BE CORRECT!!!!

REQUIRED ITEMS:  CAPID, (2) CAPF-161, CAPF-60-80 (Cadets), (2) 16-oz. Water Bottles or equivalent, snacks.  

PLEASE EAT BREAKFAST prior to arriving in the morning.  Recent experience has taught us that cadets do not fully understand this requirement.  We mean eating a balanced breakfast; not having a few cough drops, a piece of candy, a can of soda or beef jerky.  

If you are not feeling well, please stay home and send an LOA to Capt DelOrfano at lqr.cmdr.288@gmail.com.
