Texas Wing Winter Encampment 2016

Basic Encampment is for those cadets that have not previously attended an Encampment. Encampment is required for cadets to promote to the officer grades. It is also required for a cadet to attend the Lone Star Emeregency Services Academy, Intermediate Encampment, ATS, or any National Cadet Special Activities. A cadet at basic encampment will learn how to drill as part of a flight, teamwork, Aerospace opportunities, leadership opportunities and other classes. Please see CAPR 52-16 Chapter 9 for all opportunities that encampment offers.

The Basic Cadets will need to submit their application to Chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel Nancy Smalley. Mail to: 416 Victorian Drive, Waxahachie, TX 75165. All forms must be received by 15 December 2016. Late applications will not be accepted. No one arriving without having previously sent a CAPF 31 will be allowed to sign into the activity.

If the eventbrite site allowed you to register, that means (at least as a Basic Cadet) you are accepted; you should also receive a receipt from eventbrite.
