Cascade Falcon Student Packing List Frequently Asked Questions What are “boot blousers”? These are elastic bands with hooks or Velcro straps used to make sure your ABU pants are neatly above your boots or “bloused” they can be any color as they are hidden in the pant leg, they commonly come in green, black, blue or tan. Are available at many military supply stores or vanguard (vanguard links below) https://www.vanguardmil.com/products/khaki-trouser-blousers-boot-bands https://www.vanguardmil.com/products/black-better-trouser-blousers-boot-bands What are “military shirt garters” Why do we need them? These are also called “shirt stays” and are worn under your slacks/pants and keep your shirt neatly tucked in. They also can be obtained as formal wear stores, military supply, or vanguard (vanguard link below) any style is OK for encampment. https://www.vanguardmil.com/products/black-shirt-stays Why do I need non fitted sheets? Cadets learn attention to detail and teamwork at encampment and one of our training tools requires non fitted sheets. Why do I need an 18-inch ruler? This goes along with teaching you some skills at encampment, and making sure your measurements are correct, this ruler is a tool you will use every day at Cascade Falcon. Why do I need so many T-Shrits and 2 sets of ABU Uniforms? Cadets are kept very active at Cascade Falcon and we do not have any laundry facilities. By having the extra Tan T-Shirts for wear under the ABU uniform, the 2 White V Necks for the wear with the Blue Service Uniform (cadet wear “blues” twice during the week) and athletic T-Shirts worn for Physical Training help keep cadets clean and fresh. An idea to cut down on costs of the extra T-shirts is you can look at craft stores for Bulk T-Shirts in solid colors online. Remember you can ask for help in paying for the second uniform with the Cadet Encampment Assistance Program (CEAP), ask your unit for information on this scholarship program or go here https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/cadets/newcadet/ceap Why do I need shower shoes (flip flop sandals) We use common showers, wearing these to and while you are in the shower helps prevent any injuries and limit the spread of athlete’s foot and other foot fungus. Why do I need an “olive drab belt with canteen and pouch” or “CamelBak” hydration pouch? Hydration is VERY important at encampment, even as we are often not subject to extremely warm weather in Washington as compared to some areas, cadets are very active and staying hydrated is known to help keep cadets healthy! Be careful of cheap items, a leaking canteen or “CamelBak” is a common cause of misery for cadets during Cascade Falcon. “CamelBaks” are preferred as they allow cadets to quickly get a sip of water almost anytime. If you are able this is one bit of equipment that will give years of use for cadets at activities. Black, Dark Blue solid colors are best for wear with the uniform, you may also be able to find ones in the same pattern as the ABU uniform. Contact your unit or speak with other cadets who have attended encampment in the past for more information. Why do I need 7 dark colored or medical masks? We expect to operate encampment this year under some safety precautions associated with the CONVID-19 pandemic, masks do need to be changed daily for best results. The dark color is to go with the uniform. No writing or printing is is allowed on masks worn with the uniform. |
