Avenger Flight had a chance to be a part of a special bomb Group Leadership Project this Friday. Arnold Air Society trainers hid 10 fake bombs all over the Physical Education Building at USC.
The objective was to find the bombs and diffuse them under a tight time constraint. The only way to diffuse the bombs was by reciting the academic knowledge from their blue booklets.

Each week, AAS candidates are required to be a week ahead of the general Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets in terms of ROTC and Air Force academic knowledge, the GLP was designed to not only test if they were up to speed with their academic knowledge but their team work as well.
The objective of the GLP was for Avenger Flight to learn about wingmanship and never leaving a wingman behind. An airman never leaves another airman behind in battle.
Avenger Flight had little trouble with the knowledge as they know they'll get matches taken away if they fail. They were each given a matchbook containing 30 matches at the beginning of the semester.
A match can be taken away for any of the following:

-failing to recite or write academic knowledge perfectly (verbatim) from the blue knowledge guide
-messing up on marching procedures
-not working as a team
-failing to complete a task
Overall, Avenger Flight performed decently during the GLP and are getting a little taste of the tricky GLP obstacles they will face this semester as well as potential real life scenarios that they may face in the future when serving as United States Air Force Officers.
