Great Lakes Region Cadet Competition

 Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH

The 2010 Great Lakes Region Cadet Competition will be held at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, on the weekend of 30 April - 2 May.  Each wing is invited to send one Drill Team and one Color Guard Team to compete to represent the Great Lakes Region at the National Cadet Competition.  The NCC is scheduled for 24-28 June 2010 at Linfield College and the Evergreen Air & Space Museum in McMinnville, OR.

Because of heightened security, the USAF will require us to pre-identify all attendees not already registered as participants. We need an alphabetical list of Last Name, First Name and State (Wing) represented, no later than 10 April of EVERYONE who might attend.  The name on the listing must match the name on their IDs.  All drivers entering the base must have a valid driver's license, proof of insurance and proof of registration.  Anyone not on the registered guest list may be denied access and neither CAP nor the Region Liaison Office will have the resources to assist.  The registration form is located below under Application.

ELIGIBILITY:  Cadets age 18 and over must have completed Cadet Protection Policy Training (CPPT).  Every participant must have a current CAP membership card or proof of membership (computed print-out) in their possession.  Senior Members must have completed Cadet Protection Policy Training (CPPT) and must have FBI clearance approved.

 

FEES

Registration fees are $175 for a Color Guard Team and $400 for a Drill Team ($25/person).  Fee includes food and lodging for team, alternates and escorts. The fees should be mailed no later than 15 April, to the GLR Finance Director at the address below.  Please make checks payable to the CAP/Great Lakes Region.

RULES

The competition rules will follow CAP Manual 52-4, except as may be noted below. A Drill Team will be composed of 13 cadets of any grade (12 team members and a team commander) and a Color Guard of 4 enlisted-grade cadets (2 guards and 2 flag bearers). Each team shall have 2 adult member escorts.  Unless special arrangements have been agreed to by the Competition Director, a male and female escort are required if the team is of mixed gender.  Composition of the team and positions of the team members must remain constant throughout the competition.

 

EQUIPMENT LIST:

Teams should bring all required equipment to perform in the competition as stated in the competition rules.  Unless approved in advance, GLR will require each Color Guard team to bring their own flags and flag bases.

 

ALTERNATES:

As specified in the memo “Alternates for National Cadet Competition”  dated 4 June 2008, from the National Commander

  1. Each Drill Team and Color Guard Team is now allowed one alternate for each team. Alternates must be identified as such on the team roster. If commanders choose not to bring an alternate, please indicate NO ALTERNATE clearly on the team rosters. No team shall be penalized for not having an alternate.

  2. Only one substitution is permitted during the competition. A subsequent reversal is not permitted. As long as no substitution is made, designated alternates will be required to participate in Panel Quiz, Written Exam, and Mile Run.

  3. Alternates will be scored in the events in which they participate; however, their individual scores WILL NOT be counted, unless the team calls for a substitute. At that time, the points previously awarded to the team member who is withdrawn will be removed and those of the alternate substituted. Other events will not be affected.

  4. In a case where a team without an alternate loses a member, the NCC Director will make a decision based on the circumstances and the number and nature of the events remaining to be completed.

 

TRANSPORTATION:

Transportation to and from the competition is not the responsibility of CAP.  Privately owned vehicles travel to or from such activity is performed strictly at the member’s own risk (reference CAPR 77-1  para 6c and  CAPR 52-16, para 8-10) and is  not under CAP direction and control.
