Um there must be some major rule violations going on at Field Day locations. Any I have been to allow any licensed operator to operate on any band/freq. It was explained to me that as long as an extra is there at all times then any licensed operator can operate under him and the call sign of the site.

Sorry , forgot something.

Congratulations and start studying for the extra.

That's not a rule violation. From here:

During Field Day, members of the public wander through as we operate. Many times, these unlicensed individuals want to operate. Can they legally operate our Field Day station? -
Only a licensed amateur is eligible to be the control operator, and obviously an unlicensed person can't be the control operator of an amateur station. However they may participate under the direction of a control operator. In cases when a third party is participating, the control operator must be present at the control point and must be continuously monitoring and supervising the third party's participation. Third parties may only communicate directly with countries with which the US has signed third-party agreements (97.115(a) and (b)). The FCC doesn't expect us to carry The FCC Rule Book along on Field Day, but they do expect us all to abide by the rules at all times. It is the hope of the ARRL that everyone will do lots of operating during Field Day, demonstrate Amateur Radio to the public, practice our emergency communications capabilities, eat lots of good Field Day cooking and most of all, have a good time doing it.

Yes I will help cooking as well as setting up and whatever I can! I have a lot of learning to do but still can't wait!

Welcome to the "Horrible Frequencies" fuzzy!
Field day, back in my day was supposed to be all about makeshift antennas and emergency alternative power & net control methods. Now it's all about contesting & geritol clubs.
