3
A leader and a follower

• As an NCO, you are both a leader as well as a
  follower.
• You will be drilling the flight (not the flight
  commander.)
• At times, you will have to listen to the Flt CC,
  thus it is required that you are prepared and
  flexible.
• Be sure to have an open ear for your cadets.

4
Responsible for knowing the proper information

• In order to properly teach your cadets, you must
  know the correct information.
• To effectively drill your cadets you must know
  ______.
• AFR 50-14
• Make sure that you are doing things by the
  regulations, so as to avoid creating myths and
  legends.
• All in all, things will run more smoothly.

5
Exceeding the standard and leading by example

• Wear your uniform with pride and look your best
  at all times.
• If you ask your subordinates to carry out an
  order, make sure that you can do it as well.
• Set high standards for yourself and others, which
  will make good progress within your squadron.
• When asked to carry out an order, make sure that
  you not only complete it but also take it one
  step further.

6
Properly correcting a problem.

• Every leader has their own unique style of
  approaching things.
• Before you get aggravated with a cadet, ask
  yourself questions like How much experience does
  this Cadet have?, Did I teach this Cadet the
  proper information to complete this task?, Did
  this come from another squadron where they did
  things differently?
• Never assume a cadet can fix things. Instead, you
  can always ask them if they know the correct way
  to fix a problem.
• Praise in public/reprimand in private.
• Be patient with cadets during drill, after all
  people learn at different speeds.
• What is the primary purpose of drill? Secondary?

7
(Continued)

• Always use positive peer pressure. Negitive peer
  pressure will most likely loose cadets.
• Overall, as an NCO, you serve as a liaison
  officer between your superiors and your
  subordinates. After all, an NCO is looked to for
  both knowledge as well as expertise. It is your
  choice whether or not you can offer this to your
  CAP squadron.
