However, if you arrive too late, your slot may be given away. Please review the attached photo-maps for driving instructions to the encampment location and parking. Once you have parked your vehicle in a designated area, bring all luggage and walk to the in processing area, as shown on the photomaps.

Haircut/uniform inspection. d. Medical Check in. Parent(s) should remain with their cadets during this part of check-in. Information about medical check-in is included in a separate document. After medical check-in, parents may depart. 4. Some cadets with specific needs may be allowed to report and in process later in the day. If you are in this category, you must obtain advance approval for late arrival and in processing. 5. For those cadets flying commercially to encampment, the COWG encampment staff will arrange for pick up at the Colorado Springs airport only. Prior to making travel arrangements, contact Lt. Col. Andrew Rajca, Encampment Chief of Staff, to coordinate travel plans and pickup. Lt. Col. Rajca s contact information is in paragraph 13 of this memorandum. 6.

Playing cards. Gambling materials, i.e., Chips, dice, etc. All tobacco products, e-cigarettes, vapor pens, alcohol, illegal drugs, marijuana in any form including infused items. Any prescription or non-prescription drugs, herbs, supplements, etc., not listed in the application packet. Computers, I-Pods, I-Pads, cell phones, video games, any other electronic devices, any other electronic games, or toys. (These will be confiscated and stored for the duration of encampment. (Colorado Wing is not responsible for lost or stolen items) Personal Vehicle keys Must be turned in at check-in. NOT RECOMMENDED: Expensive watches or expensive jewelry. NOTES AND ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION In addition to the blues uniform, the preferred uniform for encampment is the ABU Uniform. However, ABU Uniforms are not mandatory. BDU Uniforms are acceptable if the cadet does not have ABUs. Pants, T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets or other clothing worn during PT should not have any logos, or other wording or markings that may be considered offensive. Use your best judgment when packing. While we try to provide a comprehensive list, we have no way to anticipate individual needs. You will be carrying your own luggage during in-processing - pack accordingly! Rolling bags are recommended! This list may be printed and used as a packing checklist. NOTE 1: ABU and/or BDU Uniforms Cadets must bring either the ABU or BDU Uniforms with all required patches and insignia sewn in proper location. Some cadets may choose to bring both ABU and BDU uniforms in order to have a second uniform. Cadets choosing to bring both ABU and BDU uniforms must ensure that they have all required items for both uniform types as well as enough Sand/Tan and/or Black Crew Neck T-shirts for the entire week. NOTE 2: Sand/Tan Crew Neck T-Shirts: These are required wear with ABU Uniforms and as part of the PT uniform. Cadets will be wearing PT uniforms each encampment day. If cadets are bringing only ABU uniforms, a minimum of 6-8 sand/tan crew neck T-shirts are recommended. NOTE 3: Black Crew Neck T-Shirts: Black crew neck T-shirts are required for wear with the BDU uniform, only. Cadets bringing BDU uniforms must bring an adequate number of black crew neck T-Shirts. BDUs are worn almost every day. Cadets wearing only ABU Uniforms do not wear Black T- Shirts with ABU Uniforms and do not need to bring them to encampment. NOTE 4: Shoe/Boot Requirements New shoes or boots are not recommended at encampment. Shoes and boots should be well broken in before encampment. Blisters are the most common medical issue at encampment and are usually the result of improperly fitted shoes/boots or boots/shoes not broken in. Pumps or heels for female cadets are not acceptable for safety reasons. The parade field used at encampment for drill practice, daily opening and closing ceremonies, and the graduation parade is thick, deep grass. This presents a significant tripping hazard and increased possibility of ankle injuries when wearing heels or pumps. Encampment Laundry Facilities: We have very limited access to Laundry Facilities in the dormitories. Our hosts limit use to certain encampment staff members. Cadet staff will attempt to provide one-time laundry service for ABU Uniforms, BDU Uniforms, and Blues Shirts during encampment. This will only be available for ABU/BDU shirts/pants and blues shirts that are clearly marked with the cadet s name in an inconspicuous location with a laundry pen. Use of anything other than a laundry pen will likely ruin the garment during washing. No names in garments = no laundry! Encampment Staff will not launder T-Shirts, socks, towels, or undergarments, Cadets must bring enough of these items to last for the entire week, without laundering. Marijuana and/or Other Drug Possession or Use Marijuana in any form is prohibited on military installations. This includes medical marijuana, recreational marijuana, and marijuana infused items. The Colorado statute permitting the possession and use of marijuana does not apply on federal installations such as the US Air Force Academy. Possession or use of marijuana will be reported to the security police and will result in immediate dismissal from encampment. By General Order of the United States Air Force Academy Superintendent, the substances known as Spice and Salvia (salvia divinorum) are prohibited. Use or possession of either substance will be reported to the security police and result in immediate dismissal from encampment. Revised 20 May 2018

9 COLORADO WING ENCAMPMENT HEADQUARTERS CIVIL AIR PATROL UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AUXILIARY East Breckenridge Avenue, Stop 33 Buckley AFB CO MEMORANDUM FOR COWG ENCAMPMENT PARTICIPANTS FROM: ENCAMPMENT COMMANDER SUBJECT: Medical Information Review During Encampment Check in. 23 May This memorandum describes the rationale for conducting a medical information review for all encampment participants during check in. 2. The health and safety of cadets is of primary importance during encampment. Encampment staff will do everything possible to ensure that encampment is a fun and safe activity and to make special accommodations for medical conditions, when appropriate. 3. During in processing, encampment staff will conduct a final review of each cadet s medical information submitted on the encampment application. For cadets under age eighteen (18), we request that parent(s) or guardian(s) be present during the medical review. During this review, staff will inquire about any existing medical condition changes or any new medical conditions that have occurred since the encampment application was submitted. CAP regulations require that all pre-existing medical condition be disclosed prior to any activity. It is critical that encampment staff be aware, in advance, of any pre-existing conditions and any medical condition changes occurring since application submission. After arrival at encampment is not the appropriate time for disclosure. Since some medical conditions may require special accommodations, it is essential that applicants/parents disclose all conditions in advance. Staff uses the medical information on applications to determine if any cadets need special accommodations for their safety and welfare. Encampment staff cannot make accommodations if the requirements are not known. 4. CAP Regulations require participation in a certain percentage of all encampment activities in order to receive encampment credit and graduate. Failure to complete the specified percentage of encampment activities will result in no credit being given for encampment. Advance disclosure of pre-existing medical conditions allows encampment staff to evaluate a cadet s ability to participate, fully, before the no-refund date. As stated in paragraph 2, any medical condition that restricts participation requires a signed physician statement using CAP Form Some medical conditions may be disqualifying. If a cadet arrives at encampment with an undisclosed, disqualifying, pre-existing condition, the cadet will not be allowed to in process. If an undisclosed pre-existing condition results in medical issues that limit participation during encampment, the cadet may be dismissed from encampment. If dismissal results from either situation, there will be no refund of encampment fees. 6. All medications (prescription and non-prescription), vitamins, herbal remedies, and over-thecounter (OTC) medications, MUST be packed separately in a clear plastic Ziploc bag. Cadets will bring any prescription, non-prescription medications, herbals, vitamins, or supplements to encampment only in the original containers in which the medication was dispensed or packaged. Prescription containers must contain the name of the prescribing physician, the name and telephone number of the dispensing pharmacy (if applicable), the name of the recipient of the prescription, and any other applicable dosing instructions. All other non-prescription

10 medications, herbals, vitamins and supplements must also contain dosing instructions and be labeled with the cadet s name. 7. During the in-processing medical review, those medications will be checked against the list of medications on the encampment application. For any cadet under age eighteen (18), any medications not listed on a cadet s application are not authorized and will be confiscated unless a parent is available to approve that medication. 8. CAP regulations require that all CAP members keep and administer their own medications. This requires that all members carry any medications that must be taken after meals or other times during the day so that they are available when needed. The same applies to oral inhalers or epinephrine pens. Cadets who are not mature enough to manage their medications, without assistance, should consider delaying encampment attendance until they are mature enough to do so. 9. Any medical care that is necessary during encampment will be limited to first aid and stabilization. CAP Regulations prohibit any additional medical care by CAP members. Encampment staff cannot provide diagnostic care. Any injury or illness requiring more than first aid will be handled by a hospital emergency room visit. Every effort will be made to contact a cadet s parent(s) or guardian(s) using the telephone numbers provided on the application. Medical issues or emergencies requiring immediate attention will be handled by 911 calls. In these situations, parents will be notified as soon as possible. Any illness or injury requiring the use of a narcotic pain medication will be grounds for dismissal. These medications can affect motor skills and judgment and should only be taken while under the care of a family member or physician. 10. Any injury or illness that prevents a cadet s return to an acceptable level of participation within a reasonable amount of time as determined by encampment staff may result in dismissal from encampment and necessitate early pickup by parent(s). Encampment staff members are not available to supervise and/or care for cadets unable to participate to an acceptable extent for an extended amount of time. Encampment command staff will evaluate cases on a case-by-case basis. 11. The Encampment Commander, after consultation with command staff, will make all final decisions concerning disqualification or dismissal from encampment. 12. The encampment address is Encampment.COWG@comcast.net FLOYD B. MCCORMICK, Lt. Col., CAP Commander

11 COLORADO WING ENCAMPMENT HEADQUARTERS CIVIL AIR PATROL UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AUXILIARY East Breckenridge Avenue, Stop 33 Buckley AFB CO MEMORANDUM FOR COWG ENCAMPMENT PARTICIPANTS FROM: ENCAMPMENT COMMANDER SUBJECT: Encampment Weight and Grooming Standards Policy 23 February This policy applies to all CAP cadets attending the encampment and to CAP senior member participants wearing AF style uniforms. CAP Manual 39-1, CAP Uniform Manual, requires all senior members wearing AF style uniforms and all cadets to comply with all weight and grooming requirements as described in the referenced manual. 2. Since the encampment is held on the United States Air Force Academy and other military installations, there will be a large number of active duty military personnel in proximity throughout the encampment week. This makes it especially important to comply with CAP grooming standards so that our members display the best possible image at all times. Therefore, the following policy will be enforced: 3. Haircuts/hairstyles of all encampment participants arriving at the encampment site must meet the haircut and grooming standards of CAPM 39-1 at the time of in-processing and throughout encampment. If any haircuts/hairstyles do not meet the standards or will not continue to meet standards throughout the week, these participants will not be allowed to check in. 4. The following paragraph is taken directly from CAP Manual 39-1, CAP Uniform Manual. Cadets will wear the USAF-style uniforms as outlined in this manual as a key component of their cadet experience. However, cadets over age 18 who are not eligible to wear the USAF-style uniforms due to not meeting weight standards are authorized to wear all Corporate-style uniform combinations, except the Corporate Working Uniform since it does not allow for wear of rank. 5. If a member arrives and does not meet these standards, they will be sent to the barbershop or beauty parlor, at their own expense, to have hair cut or styled to meet standards. If they refuse to comply, they will not be allowed to in-process and will be sent home. No refund of encampment fees will be made. Any member not meeting CAPM 39-1 weight standards will not wear AF style uniforms. 6. See the attachment to this memorandum to clarify required weight and grooming standards. Please direct any questions about this policy to Lt Col Mike McNeely, Commandant of Cadets, at mmickman@aol.com or (703) Attachments: 1. CAPM 39-1, Attachment 2, CAP Height/Weight Standards 2.

Are there special security procedures? A: The security procedures for the Academy are subject to change. We will communicate the requirements and details for submission of the information to complete the USAFA Access Form to parents and cadets in late May The deadline for submission of required is 4 Jun USAFA Security Forces personnel will maintain this document at the North and South gate entrances to USAFA. You will likely be required to give your name and show identification. Current plans are to use both the North and South gates for entry to USAFA. If access procedures change, we will notify parents of encampment participants by . Q: Is it OK to arrive early for in processing on 16 June? A: In processing will begin at 9:00 AM. If you arrive early, you will have to stand in line in an un-shaded area with no shelter. It is beginning to get warm at that time of day. As in processing begins, cadets will move into the in-processing area in small groups. Some waiting in line may be unavoidable. Q: Will I be able to accompany my cadet through the in processing? A: You should plan to accompany them during the sign-in process, bag drop, and medical in processing. At the conclusion of the medical in processing, you may depart. Q: I am a bit confused about the grooming standards and haircut policy for in processing. How will I know if my cadet meets the standards described in the Encampment Weight & Grooming Standards policy? A: Although a military style buzz-cut is not required, many cadets choose this option for encampment. This type of haircut is definitely within standards and will last all week. Encampment staff will inspect each cadet immediately after sign-in. If the person performing the inspection determines that the haircut does not meet standards or that it will not meet standards at some time during encampment, you will be advised that the cadet must get a haircut. This must be accomplished, at your expense, at the Community Center Barber Shop. However, this will take some time and may delay in processing. Your cadet will not lose their place in line because of a trip to the Barber Shop. If in doubt, cut it shorter! It will always grow back. Q: Where will family members be during in processing? A: Although the administrative sign-in portion of the in processing will not take long, this takes place in a parking lot with no shade. Please consider the possibility of hot sunshine with the risk of sunburn and higher temperatures during the process. Staff recommends the wear of sunscreen. Following the administrative sign-in, and bag drop, everyone will move to the community center auditorium to wait for the medical in processing to begin. Drinking water and restrooms will be available in this area. The medical in processing will be outside but in a shaded/covered area. After the medical in processing, the cadets will move into the Prep School and parents may depart. Q: Is it OK to bring pets? A: No! Do not bring pets to in processing or the graduation ceremony. In addition, do not leave pets in vehicles due to the high temperature. This is not a good environment for pets. Please leave them at home! Q: Is it acceptable to bring small children? A: There are no facilities available and no places for children to play. There are restrooms and water available but there will be waiting during in processing. Small children often do not respond well to long waits with nothing to do. Any children brought to the in processing and/or graduation must be closely supervised at all times and not allowed to move about unsupervised. This area of USAFA is very busy on weekends and there is a lot of vehicle traffic on the nearby streets and in the parking lots. Keep in mind the possibility of hot weather. A portion of the in-processing area will have no shade.

15 Q: Are the in-processing and graduation ceremony areas handicap accessible? A: Yes. However, there are some limitations. The primary parking area, shown on the photomaps, included with the Arrival and in-processing documents, will allow handicap access to the in processing and graduation parade area. For Community Center Auditorium access, handicap access will be from the west entrance to the Community Center and parking should be on the west side of the community center. Movement between the in-processing/graduation parade area and the Center Auditorium requires the use of stairs. Q: Are restrooms available near the in-processing and graduation parade area? A: Restrooms are available in the Community Center Building where the medical in processing is conducted. Access to the restrooms from the Admin in-processing area requires the use of stairs. Q: Will food and water be available at the Prep School? A: During the in processing on 16 June, there will be water available at Community Center Auditorium. During the graduation parade, no water will be available at the parade field. We recommend that you bring some bottled water on both days. Water will be available at the Community Center Auditorium area and will be available just outside the Prep School wall following the parents presentation while you are waiting for your cadet to finish the out-processing process. There will be no food available nearby during the in processing or graduation/out-processing. We suggest that you eat a hearty breakfast prior to arrival. The cadets will have lunch shortly after in processing, but no lunch will be served for encampment attendees on graduation day. We hope to be done by 1300 on that day. There is a Burger King near the Community Center but it does not open until There are other fast food and sitdown restaurants available outside of USAFA on North Academy Blvd. These are accessed by departing USAFA via the south gate and continuing across I-25 to North Academy Blvd. Q: Should I bring folding chairs to the Graduation ceremony? A: This is your decision. Grandstand/Bleacher seating is available at the Parade Field; however, if the crowd at the graduation parade is large, there may not be adequate seating. Following the parent presentation at the Community Center Auditorium, there will be no seating available at the Prep School while you are waiting for your cadet to complete out-processing. Q: Where should I park for the graduation ceremony? A: Use the same parking locations as for the in processing. Exception: The parking lot immediately adjacent to the Prep School where the Admin check-in and baggage drop were located during in-processing may not be available and may be blocked off. If the designated lots are full, additional parking is available on the west side of the Community Center Building and is a 5 to 8 minute walk away. Q: Will I be able to see my cadet when I arrive for graduation? A: Unfortunately, No! The cadets will be busy packing and changing into parade uniforms until just prior to the graduation parade. They will depart the dormitories just prior to the parade, form up, and march to the parade field. In order to maintain the schedule, we must insist that families not attempt to meet or interact with their cadets. Immediately following the graduation parade, parents and guests will proceed to the Community Center Auditorium for the parent presentation. During the presentation, the cadets will be completing the dormitory clean up and preparing for the final dormitory inspection. We will not dismiss cadets from encampment until the Air Force completes the inspection process. We understand that families are looking forward to re-uniting with their cadets; however, we must complete the dormitory cleaning and inspection process before that can happen. Following the graduation parade and Parent Presentation, family members must remain outside of the walled perimeter of the Prep School. We ask for your indulgence and patience during this process. Q: Am I restricted in where I can go while on USAFA property? A: Yes! When entering USAFA property at the North gate or South gate, drive straight to the Prep School Property. When departing, drive straight to either the North or the South gate to exit USAFA. Non- Revised 17 May 2018
