Drill is more than an orderly way of moving a group of people from point A to point B, although it is that. CAP cadets learn drill for the same reasons that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines do. Drill is a time-tested lab - oratory for developing leadership skill. 1 2 DRILL HELPS THE INDIVIDUAL J You stand taller because of drill. J You develop a sense of pride about your - self and that pride translates into success in other areas of your life. J You begin to appreciate attention to detail and see how small things make a big difference. J You build self-discipline when you stand at perfect attention, motionless, gut in and chest out, silently focused on a single point on the distant horizon. J You gain self-confidence. You learn to come out of your shell when placed in front of a formation and made to call commands. J You carry yourself with that special quality called military bearing. People in everyday life begin to see you differently. Your bearing sets you apart from ordinary youth. DRILL BUILDS THE TEAM J The group members learn to adapt their movements to match those of the team. J The group visibly comes together as a single, cohesive unit, as everyone marches in step and executes commands with precision. J The group follows a single commander. When there is no doubt as to who the leader is, the team members operate as one and pursue the same goals. J The group succeeds when each of its members performs as a team. The team members learn they are only as strong as their weakest link. DRILL DEVELOPS LEADERS J Leaders learn to make decisions and think on their feet when calling commands. Drill instills the value of decisiveness. J Leaders learn the importance of issuing clear instructions to the team. 3 4 J Leaders learn that teamwork is possible only if they first motivate the group members to excel. J Leaders learn to value their place in the chain of command. They see the chain in action at formations. J Leaders learn about the building blocks of leadership in the Cadet Program. They see airmen following orders, NCOs leading small teams, and officers leading multiple teams. TEACHING TIP : A good 5 minute exercise for cadets – new and experienced alike – is to ask them to identify the benefits of drill and make a running list on the board. The Right Amount of Drill For many reasons then, drill is good 15 min for cadets. But the Cadet Program should be so much more than drill. About 15 minutes of drill per weekly meeting is about right. However, units may devote more time to drill if drill team, color guard, or honor guard becomes a special project. Drill Training Sequence at a glance When learning drill, start with the basic movements and then tackle the advanced. These tables show which move - ments are associated with the Learn to Lead chapters. Cadets will need to become proficient in the movements that correspond to their achievement and chapter.

The preparatory command explains what the move - ment will be. The command of execution explains when the movement will be carried out. PREPARATORY COMMAND COMMAND OF EXECUTION Right Flank, MARCH To the Rear, MARCH Open Ranks, MARCH (NA) AT EASE (NA) FALL OUT Demo-Perf Training Method When teaching someone how to perform a task (how to drill, how to use a compass, how to preflight an airplane, etc.) the demonstration- performance method can be your best training tool. One of the strengths of this training method is that you and the cadet/student get immediate feedback. You can see if the cadet knows how to perform the task and the cadet builds confidence if you’re there to tell them whether they are doing it right or not. What follows on the next page is an example of how the “demo-perf” works, as applied to drill. TELL SHOW DO REVIEW 9 10 The Demo-Perf TELL State the name of the movement and explain its purpose. SHOW Perfectly demonstrate how the move - ment is performed at a normal cadence, twice. Also break the movement into segments, showing how it’s performed, one step at a time. Mention any special rules or standards. DO Have cadets try executing the move - ment on their own, and then as a group, by the numbers. Allow cadets to ask questions. EXAMPLE : BY THE NUMBERS, Right, FACE On “FACE,” cadets execute count one and freeze. Flight lead - ers check cadets and fix any problems. On, “Ready, TWO,” cadets complete the facing. Flight leaders give feedback. REVIEW Closely watch the cadets do the move - ment as a group without the numbers and at normal cadence. Give each cadet feedback. When every cadet is ready, move on to the next topic.

Inouye Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: As you requested, we reviewed the Navy’s flying hour program to determine l what types of aviators are flying carrier-based aircraft, l the types and amounts of flying performed by such aviators, and . the relevancy of the flying to operations and training. We focused on the A-6, F-14, and F/A-18 carrier-based aircraft, although we also reviewed the flying hour program as it relates to other carrier-based aircraft. The information pertains to naval aviation prior to the commencement of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. While the concepts discussed in the report and the prior years data presented are still relevant, the fiscal year 1991 budget data do not reflect the commencement of the air war in January 1991. The Navy and Marine Corps need well-trained, highly skilled aviators to Background effectively and successfully accomplish their aviation missions. The skills demanded of an adept aviator include the ability to strike naval and land targets, protect ships from air threats, and take off from and land on aircraft carriers. An aviator’s primary means of gaining and maintaining proficiency is through hands-on training funded by the flying hour program.

The insignia used to identify these ranks are also generally similar to those used in the British Armed Forces. The following tables show the "equivalent rank and classifications" for the three services, as defined in the ADF Pay and Conditions Manual.[1] "Equivalent rank" means the corresponding rank set out under Regulation 8 of the Defence Force Regulations 1952.[2] Contents Commissioned officer ranks Warrant officer ranks Non-commissioned officer ranks Other ranks Insignia Commissioned officers Enlisted See also Notes References External links Commissioned officer ranks NATO Aus/US Code Code Navy Army RAAF Flag/General/Air Officers[1][3] OF-10 O-11[a] Admiral of the fleet Field marshal Marshal of the RAAF OF-9 O-10[b] Admiral General Air chief marshal OF-8 O-9[c] Vice admiral Lieutenant general Air marshal OF-7 O-8 Rear admiral Major general Air vice marshal OF-6 O-7[d] — — Air commodore Senior officers OF-6 O-7[d] Commodore Brigadier — OF-5 O-6[d] Captain (RAN) Colonel Group captain OF-4 O-5[d] Commander Lieutenant colonel Wing commander OF-3 O-4[d] Lieutenant commander Major Squadron leader Junior officers OF-2 O-3[d] Lieutenant Captain (Army) Flight lieutenant OF-1 O-2 Sub lieutenant Lieutenant Flying officer OF-1 O-1 Acting

  • Offensive Formations That Are Reasonably Well Known
    In 2002 I received an email from another youth coach, congratulating me on my web site and asking about a particular offensive system. The coach had already chosen his offense, and mentioned that he intended to run about thirty-five offensive plays. That sentence sort of brought me to a screeching halt. Now, this coach hadn't asked for my advice, but I felt compelled to mention that, in my opinion, that was an awful lofty number of plays for a youth football team. I drew a comparison between the playbook at Tomales High, where I coach now, and his youth team, pointing out that even at the varsity high school level, we feature an offensive system with only eight running and six passing plays. I think that this coach fell into one of the more common traps set for the unwary youth football coach. Unlike Little League baseball, or youth basketball, a football offense is an incredibly complex system of interconnected parts. No other sport in America features eleven separate players in so many disparate positions, each with its own responsibilities and techniques. No other sport relies so heavily upon utter teamwork. In basketball, Michael Jordan was able to dominate the NBA and win multiple championships for the Chicago Bulls virtually on his own (not to detract from the skills and hard work of his teammates). In soccer, only a few players can traverse the entire field at any one time, so while the sport includes eleven players, the actual play rarely involves more than three from any one side.
