Phase-In.
(1) All cadets who join after 1 July 2010 will receive a copy of Learn to Lead, Volumes 1 and 2 in their New Cadet Kit.
(2) Phase I and II cadets who joined prior to that date may remain in Leadership for the 21st Century or opt to switch to Learn to Lead. Current cadets who switch to the new texts can order hard copies from Vanguard or download them above.
(3) Cadet Officers will not be immediately affected as Volumes 3 and 4 (serving Phases III and IV respectively) will not be published until late in 2011.
Written & Drill Tests. New tests will serve the
Learn to Lead cadets, via the
new online testing system. Cadets who remain in the
Leadership for the 21st Century text will continue to use the same tests they’ve been using (CAPT 68,60, and 64-1).
Learn to Lead cadets will demonstrate their proficiency in drill through a
performance test during
every achievement in Phases I and II.
Practical Tips for Current Cadets: As stated above, current cadets may remain in the "old" or switch to the "new" textbook. They need to keep in mind that when they reach the Wright Brothers Award Exam and the Mitchell Award Exam, they will take either the "old" or "new" exam. In other words, there's no cafeteria option for the milestone exams -- a cadet will NOT be able to say, "I want a Mitchell based on chapters 1,2, and 3 in the old book and chapters 4 through 8 in the new book." It's one or the other.
Hard Copy Distribution. In late July, every squadron will receive a hard copy of each Learn to Lead publication.
