Research Check 14
The cadet NCO and The Team
Professionalism: in everyday terms is a professional who is someone who gets paid for their work
In CAP a professional is
-have a habit of putting their community interest above their own
-have special skill (knowledge or experience)
-hold themselves and their peers to an ethical code (respect moral principals)
Standards:"The leader's example is the most important standard of all."
-a standard is an established requirement, a principal which a standard can be judged.
-it is vital that a leader set clear standards and communicate them to the team.
-the leader's example is the most important standard of them all.
-standards are not always "black and white" it can vary on the situation
The Non-Commissioned Officer:
-Air Force non-commissioned officers epitomize the Core Values.
-The transition from airman to sergeant can be difficult. It involves one who was cared for to now caring for others and from one who was taught to one who teaches.
-Rank does not confer privilege or power but gives respondibility.
Respondibility and the NCO:
-Must show the core values.
-Neeed to be able to guide,instruct, and mentor by sharing their experiences and knowledge.
-Must support the their own leaders
-Reward those that you closely work with to point them out as role models.
-Correct people so that they can learn the correct way.
-Career council cadets to show them what can be possible in the Air Force or CAP.
-Keeep learning both at CAP and accademically.

Blog 10: Self Reflection
1. How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why? AE, P, AP, CR, or NC
So far in this senior project I feel that I am doing P work. I been attending my service learning regularly, collecting research, and working on my individual component.
2. What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?
The thing that I am most proud of is being in my service learning. Just a month ago I got the titile of cadet and I am now in Charlie flight. In a few months time, I will be able to advance to Alpha Flight.
3. What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?
One thing I would like to improve on is to continue to do research for my senior topic at least 3 articles a week.

Blog 8: What I've Learned So Far
1) What have you learned how to do since you started working on your senior project?
In first starting the senior project I have learned to ask anything possible. This may seem like frivolous, but when I was searching for a possible project topic I didn't know where to begin. I asked everyone I knew for possible ideas. When I finally knew that I wanted to do aviation for my project I needed to figure out where I could do my service learning. With my first interview, Pat Hacker, I learned that I could possibly do my service learning at the Civil Air Patrol. I now go to the Civil Air Patrol every Monday for the cadet program and I really enjoy it.
With spending more time at Civil Air Patrol I have learned what I can accomplish in the near future. I recently made a self propelled rocket. Although simple in design, it gave me a brief preview of what is ahead. In the coming weeks at Civil Air Patrol we will be making rockets in preparation for ROCStock in mid November. ROCStock is when you can take a rocket you have made and launch it or you can simply go to observe. Just last week we have gotten information on the some of the founders of the rocket.
2) Post evidence of this accomplishment. It can be in the form of a picture, video, document, etc..
This is a photo of the rocket I made, its really simple and fun to make.
3) What research helped you to do this and how?

3) What research helped you to do this and how?
- One important source was my first interview, Pat Hacker, as she told me of the Civil Air Patrol.
- In first researching Civil Air Patrol as a possible service learning place I have found that Civil Air Patrol's website to be helpful in explaining the cadet program and where I could join. http://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/about/
- Other research that has helped me has been an article that gives information on how an airplane works. With this information that I have learned I can apply it to building my own rocket for ROCStock. http://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/airplanes.htm

Blog 1: Senior Project Topic
What is your topic?
Aviation
Why?
I picked this topic for my senior topic because its something that has always interested me. I always like to try new things and this is one that I always hope to try. With the senior project I hope to explore aviation more and someday get a pilots license for a small aircraft. I always love to be on plane flights sitting next to the window and seeing the world from a bird's eye view. A bird's eye view makes everything that happens daily seem so small compared to what is around us.
What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
After studying aviation for the year I hope to have a greater understanding of the operation of airplanes. In the future I also hope to be able to fly for recreational purposes as well as using this skill to help others. In addition, I want to apply what I learn in my senior project this year to my everyday life.
