I'm sorry but I'm just learning some of the military terms. I thought the squadron had a name (ie: Cobra), but they have a number too?
Flight, hotel and car=Booked, now I just need a plan for food! Can't wait!
Like BlahuKahuna said, since your DS is a Cobra, he will be in one of the academic year squadrons 11-15. To determine which one he is in all you need to know is what flight he is in for basic. He is in either Cobra Alpha, Cobra Bravo, etc. There are 5 flights in Cobra (A,B,C,D or E). Each one will become a part of an academic year CS (cadet squadron). A is 11, B is 12, C is 13, D is 14 and E is 15. Being military, they don't call them just A, B, etc. They are referred to as Alpha (A), Bravo (B), etc. So for example, if your DS is in Cobra Bravo he will be in CS-12.
For food, last year we went to Wal Mart deli the night before and bought cold cuts and bread, chips etc. We also went to Chic-Fil-A the morning of A-Day and bought hot chicken sandwiches. They were open and serving really early. The crowd wasn't too bad either. We made sure to take plenty of food for others in his squadron. Great memories ! I'm excited for all of you headed out this year !
