Here, the first @ussf.cc Space Force Cadet Corps color guard gets handed their equipment by me just before heading off to rehearse for the colors presentation for the @spaceforceassociation Space Power Conference in Orlando, FL. I've watched the videos of the rehearsal and performance of the team and have a critique. Keep in mind that the team had 12 hours of training over two weeks. They pulled it off very well but there's always something to improve. Consider this a public After Action Report. Here we go. ❌Posture with a couple of the cadets is poor. ❌Technique going from Order to Right Shoulder was poor for two of the color bearers (leaning to the right and one bending knees on the lift of the staff). ❌Technique for placing the lower ferrule into the socket needs work as staffs were angled. ❌Timing and spacing went out the window as soon as the team stepped off. ⭐Their feet on the Colors Turn-on we're great, but ❌sidestep width varied so ending interval was inconsistent. ❌Commander's commands could be much louder. However, he went from "stating a fact" with zero inflection to discovering how to create inflection. ⭐Lead guard had a slight bit of difficulty with her rifle early on in rehearsal and was able to not overthink the process of Right Shoulder to Present. ⭐The dip on the first note (we will take the command from now on) was perfect ending with perfect alignment for the angle. ⭐Raising the staffs back to vertical on the last note (again, will take the command) was perfectly synced. ⭐Port timing was excellent, but ❌staffs angled in different dimensions. ⭐The change on the day was Every Left Off since the team had a table to their right. I taught it to them as soon as we started rehearsal and they got it! "Ready, Step" was the command and the team stepped off close to perfect! ❌Timing quickly disintegrated on the way from the stage. I'm very pleased with the performance based on the severe learning curve that the cadets took on. 👉We will get to work learning the rest of the rifle manual and marching technique starting in January and we were offered the opportunity to present for the Orlando Magic (every team in central FL rotates through).

Here they are minus one! This was the uniform try-on and practice in it day, a couple haircuts are pending and t-shirt color will change. Today's practice was great! We have only spent 12 hours together over the last two weeks learning the minimum to present the colors at the Space Power Conference in Orlando on Tuesday. Many thanks to Mr. David Bonanza as the first SFCC squadron leader who has been instrumental in facilitating training so far and is excited about the SFCC future! Honestly, it feels more like three months, but in a good way! The six cadets dealt with illness, learning the particulars for ordering uniforms, learning how to wear a uniform, flagstaff manual, rifle manual, marching, learning to not be four individuals and work as a team, and so much more. The future is so bright for the first @ussf.cc Space Force Cadet Corps with the curriculum of space law, AI, and so much more just waiting for them. The squadron stand-up is in January. Now, I need to design a unit color and the guidon. FYI, the flag manufacturer I used for the SFCC flag screwed up twice. I will never recommend it again nor will they make anything for SFCC. Unfortunate. 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals! Download them free at the Resources page here: www.thedrillmaster.org .

Colors training went really well! Necessary marching, rifle, and flagstaff manuals taught! Enough to get the team in, present, and depart at Port and Right Shoulder. One more practice to go, actually, it will be the first practice, the three sessions before this have been training. All from the very beginning. No experience for any of the cadets and they are all doing so well. Such terrific progress! Nametag prep tonight. I switched to a mechanical pencil before marking up the edge of the tags. 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals! Download them free at the Resources page here: www.thedrillmaster.org .

Our second colors training session and we finished modified rifle manual, Colors Turn-on and off! We might Tuesday is flagstaff manual and I want to get to Right Shoulder thanks to the quick progress we've made. The first color guard of the first squadron of the @ussf.cc is well in hand! Uniform adjustments this week as well as training, plus learning how to set up the uniform. Now, if the bug that's going through the school would finish, we could continue with training everyone - I'm tired of catching a cadet before he or she collapses. Two so far! Today was full of constant adjustments and 4 hours later the adjustments were fewer! ⭐Plus, the squadron leader's daughter made us all friendship bracelets in the @spaceforcedod officialish colors! 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals!

Brand new Space Force Cadet Corps caps are in! Mine is ironed like we used to back when I first joined the USAF. Today is a very special day as it marks the first practice of the first cadet color guard of the first squadron of the @ussf.cc - we are getting ready for our first colors presentation at the Space Conference in Orlando in December. Many people around the country are chomping at the bit waiting to start their squadrons and we are almost ready to launch (as it were)! We have some extremely intelligent people on the Board of Directors who are working on the incredible curriculum to enable cadets to get a head start on being a part of the Space Force, the space industry, or any STEM-related career. This is exciting! My job? The military side that forms the foundation. We have a minimal uniform, an honor guard uniform, (no one will be be wearing any type of USSF uniform), awards and decorations, D&C (also minimal, unless part of the honor guard), and related topics as they arise. MUCH more to come! 🔆Education is 🔑! . 🔹Read your manuals! Download them free at the Resources page here: www.thedrillmaster.org .
