Civil Air Patrol cadets, including Cadet Megan Robertson from the Gainesville Composite Squadron, gathered in late June at McCrady Training Center at Fort Jackson, near Columbia, S.C., for a weeklong training program, South Carolina Wing Summer Encampment. Most days started at 6 a.m. with physical training exercises before other activities at 7:30 a.m., including drill and classroom sessions on leadership, aerospace and core values. Cadets visited the simulator rifle range at McCrady Training Center and toured aircraft at Shaw Air Force Base and Blackhawk helicopters at McEntire Joint National Guard Base.
