SCWG 2010 Spring CTW PDF Print E-mail

Due to unforeseen requirements from the ARMY we have once again lost our facilities (to National Guard pre-deployed personnel - so its for a good reason) but, the Cadet Programs team will be searching for adequate facilities and a time in April or May for the Cadet Training Weekend. Please circulate this info and stay tuned for updates.  We have team members working with the Army at other locations as well as the Marine Corps in Parris Island/Beaufort, SC. Thank you for your patience - sometimes these things are out of our hands.

Applications are still due today. Yes everything is tentative since we do not have a date yet, but hopefully everyone will be able to attend.  Try to keep your schedules open if you can, but we can make adjustments to the staff if necessary.  A tentative org chart will be posted soon.

Staff applications and Advanced Flight applications are due TODAY!  DCCs:  Please finalize your list of basics at least by the end of this coming week's meeting.  By the end of the week I should have them in.  I have already received 72 basics cadets names and I thank all of you who have sent these in.

As was clarified earlier in the week, do not mail any forms or money anywhere. Bring them to CTW.  This was all addressed in the initial post on scadets.org.

If you have not applied yet because you were not able to attend the March 26 date, please apply now.  If you give a valid reason in your email that you could not attend CTW at the previous date then I will allow a few extra days to send in your application.  I would prefer to get them today, tomorrow at the latest.

I am well aware that this is tentative but we should still be able to get a pretty firm commitment from everyone.  For right now, I will go on the assumption that if you have applied you will come to CTW.  Once we have the new date and location finalized, I will ask that everyone confirm their commitment.  From there I will make the necessary adjustments to the org chart but I expect these adjustments will be minor.

Once again if you have a question, please read the post on scadets.org to see if the issue is addressed.  If it is not, then feel free to email me but I have grown weary of answering questions that are clearly answered on the website.

CTW Takes on Halloween PDF Print E-mail

Submitted by: C/CMSGT Jared Buniel

Its 5:30 AM, October 31st, 2009, Halloween Saturday, most teenagers would be sound asleep, dreaming of their plans for acquiring candy or a final touch for their scary costume. But a group of wide-awake and chilled young men and women are at McCrady training center, their candy taken from them and their dreams drowned out by shouted commands and banging lockers. As stern officers herd the teens outside for exercise, a passer-by would be right in wondering, “Who are these kids who gave up their holiday weekend for this ‘boot camp-like’ experience?” To find an answer, you need look no further than the blue patches on their camouflage, “Civil Air Patrol.”
