2011 Winter NH Wing NCO Leadership Academy
The 2011 Winter New Hampshire Wing NCO Leadership Academy (NCOA) promises to be a fun, challenging, and rewarding experience. NCOA is designed to help equip Cadet Non-commissioned Officers with the skills and knowledge they need to be more effective leaders in their home squadrons, and prepare them to make the transition from the enlisted to the commissioned ranks.
NCOA blends classroom theory with hands on training to help cadets truly grasp the concepts they are being presented. Cadets will be presented with leadership concepts and challenges and will be expected to solve those challenges. Classes ranging from conflict resolution and effective leadership, to drill & ceremonies will be conducted. Cadets will be given daily leadership challenges that they will have to solve in both individual and group settings.
Above all else NCOA follows one simple concept taken from the NCO Creed. “No one is more professional than I. I am a Non-commissioned Officer…” NCOA is NOT encampment, and the staff does not treat cadets as if they were basic cadets at encampment. Cadets that attend NCOA are expected to act, and are treated as, young professionals. Cadets choose to attend because they want to make themselves better leaders, and we will help them to reach that goal.
Thank you!
Major Kevin Harbison, CAP
Commander
