  • Behind the Ball
    Volume 12 - Issue 1 Behind the 8 Ball Page 1 Behind the 8 Ball The Official Newsletter of National Blue Beret Oshkosh, Wisconsin Volume 12—Issue 1 14 July 2015 From the Activity Director Welcome to National Blue Beret 2015! I am excited to see nearly 150 cadets and 45 seniors attending this year. National Blue Beret is the most diverse National Cadet Special Activity with members representing 44 wings and all 8 regions. However, diversity is what brings us together and adds to the “Beret” experience. The next 2 weeks will bring a myriad of challenges as you develop and hone your emergency services skills. Take advantage of each and every training opportunity and use this time to add to your mission skill set. The long days of training will pay off as we begin our operational period on Friday. Whitman Field will be home to nearly every type of General Aviation aircraft that you can name. Saturday will start this process as hundreds of Cessna’s, Mooney’s, Bonanza’s, and Cherokee’s begin making mass arrivals. By the end of the activity, over 10, 000 civilian and military aircraft will call AirVenture home. Be proud of the fact that you are taking on a greater responsibility than most CAP members will experience in their entire time in the program. Whether it is marshalling aircraft, assisting with ultra-lights/rotorcraft, searching for overdue aircraft, or monitoring the Warbirds area, you are an integral part of AirVenture. The Experimental Aircraft Association entrusts NBB to provide assistance and we will not fail.

  • Somerset Army Cadets' Military
    Somerset Cadet Bn (The Rifles) ACF Jellalabad House 14 Mount Street Taunton Somerset TA1 3QE Tel: 01823 284486 e: [email protected] armycadets.com/somersetacf/ Version: 20181004_U13 SOMERSET ARMY CADETS’ MILITARY KNOWLEDGE - AN OVERVIEW Military Knowledge training and testing has become somewhat disjointed and awkward to teach over the last few years, principally because there appears to have been no central database of information available to allow both teachers and cadets to learn what is involved. This document, which is in a constant process of evolution, attempts to ameliorate that. Any suggestions that you may have to enhance this document should be addressed to WO2 (SMI) Peter Russell at [email protected]. I have tried to bring all the information relating to the Basic, 1 Star and 2 Star teaching and testing under one roof, whilst providing a document which, in a small way, tries to elevate the often boring information to a level that provides interest and fun as well as knowledge. History is much more than dates - it is about people - real people just like the cadets of today, who made their mark on history. Wherever possible anecdotes and stories relevant to the Army Cadets and our forebears will be found which adds a human face to history, so often missing in other documents. Here you will find the APC Syllabus regarding the three levels of training/testing, the rank structure of the Army Cadets and regular forces, extracts from AC71462- Cadet Training Manual Volume 1, AC 71310 Customs of the Service, a history of Somerset Army Cadets, Somerset Army Cadets’ structure and appointments, a history of The Rifles and its antecedents, a history of the Army Air Corps (in light of the new AAC badged Platoon formed in 2018) and extracts from other relevant Army Cadets’ manuals that aim to throw light into the darkness.

    Ksenia Anske PO Box 55871 Seattle, WA 98155 [email protected] Rosehead a novel by Ksenia Anske 127,472 words Anske / Rosehead / 1 Rosehead Noun 1. A many-sided pyramidal head upon a nail; also a nail with such a head; a rose-nail. 2. A head, on a nail or spike, having corrugations or facets; an enlarged end on a mill, or milling-cutter. History “For nail making, iron ore was heated with carbon to form a dense spongy mass of metal which was then fashioned into the shape of square rods and left to cool. The metal produced was wrought iron. After re-heating the rod in a forge, the blacksmith would cut off a nail length and hammer all four sides of the softened end to form a point. Then the nail maker would insert the hot nail into a hole in a nail header or anvil and with four glancing blows of the hammer would form the rosehead (a shallow pyramid shape). This shape of nail had the benefit of four sharp edges on the shank which cut deep into timber and the tapered shank provided friction down its full length. The wood fibres would often swell if damp and bind round the nail making an extremely strong fixing.” Anske / Rosehead / 2 Chapter 1. Arrival The garden reeked of rotten sweetness as if the roses were not blooming, but rather decomposing in the heat. The sea of them, like a hungry red tongue, licked the west side of an enormous white mansion, forming a spectacular dead end.
