Before the flights separate C/Shira and C/Mathes will demonstrate the reporting procedure. During this time C/Rockenback and C/Otterness will set up the cones. The fastest individual cadet will receive recognition and the flight with the most rotations will receive points at the CW/IG’s discretion. The instructor will inform the GMC that their individual time doesn’t stop until the flight commander has completed all three categories and halts the flight. GMC will form up into their respective flights Alpha—north side and Bravo—south side. Flight commander will be rotated through starting with 200s. Flights will be competing to rotate through as many flight commanders as possible using proper reporting procedures.

Penalties will be no more than 10 seconds and evaluator will inform the flight what they did
