Participant Requirements
 All participants must be cadets or senior members in good standing.
We are requiring that cadet participants must be at least a C/Amn; Cadet
Basics may be allowed to participate by special exception by the
activity director. Basic school participants should have completed
General Emergency Services (available
on-line) by the end of the cycle. Advanced school and Team Leader
school participants must be a qualified GTM-3, and have such
qualifications reflected in MIMS. In addition, Team Leader school
participants must be senior members, or cadets at least 17 years of age.
Finallly, all participants must bring a completed
CAPF 60 to the first FTX. Cost
The fee for this cycle is $10 activity fee. This fee covers the entire
cycle. This money is used to provide all the training materials for the
participants. This fee is due at the October FTX.
Gear (also

Gear Requirements and Explanation)
There is generally concern over the amount of equipment that must be
purchased in order to participate. The following details a list of
equipment that is the necessary equipment to participate in the
training. If individuals do not have each item on this list, they will
not be able to participate. At some point during the training cycle,
each individual must have all the equipment listed in task O-0001 in
order to complete the task.
 However, not all the task equipment is
required up front. We attempt to curtail the amount of equipment that is
required to participate in the first few weekends. After participating
in ES training, many individuals decide that emergency services
activities simply do not interest them. Consequently, new (and possibly
unused equipment) simply goes to waste. However, if participants feel as
if ES activities interest them, they can acquire equipment slowly over
time as they complete their training. Our squadron does own some
equipment that can be issued out to cadets on an “as-needed” basis;
however, this equipment must be returned to the squadron after the
weekend is complete. Most of this equipment can be purchased relatively
inexpensively at discount stores or military surplus depots. REQUIRED
