Encampment Staff Selection Exercise - Camp San Luis Obispo
Cadet Staff applications for CAWG Encampment are now being accepted. If you have successfully completed a basic encampment and have a desire to serve The Cadet Training Group, you are eligible to apply for a cadet staff position. Follow the provided directions to complete the application process.
(1) Submit a cover letter, resume, and signed CAWGF150 to ctg@cawgcadets.org. Utilize reference material such as CAP Learn to Lead curriculum Chapter 8, page 178, and the Air Force Tongue and Quill.
(2) Once you receive confirmation that your materials have been received, register for Staff Selection Exercise at http://cawg-ssx-2013.eventbrite.com/. Here you will enter in all require information and pay the $35 fee. The application deadline is 04 May 2013.
(3) Bring printout of eventbright ticket as proof of purchase and a signed CAWGF150 for Encampment.
You will NOT be considered for a position unless you successfully complete all required steps.
Being prepared for encampment lies in the preparation you start today. I encourage you to prepare not for SSX, but for encampment; that is the objective. Our goal at SSX is to select the cadets most qualified to implement our training objectives. The areas of evaluation will include, but are not limited to:
o Personal Review Board
o Six-Step Teaching Method
o Drill of the Flight
o Uniform Wear
o Encampment Skills (Training and Support)
o Regulation and Manual Knowledge, emphasis on CAPM 39-1, AFMAN 36-2203, CAPR 52-16 (Chapter 9), and CAWG Encampment Standard Operating Procedures.
Our selection process is based off of an objective point-based system. If you are a top-performer at SSX, you will earn the position you worked for. Past performance, previous encounters with Executive Staff, and anything beyond what is evaluated at SSX will play no relevance in the points you receive. Any experiences outside of SSX will only aide you in your individual performance while under evaluation. The selection is solely based on your performance at SSX.
With that, we encourage you to attend the activity in person. However, in the event that you are unable to physically attend SSX you can arrange to receive an evaluation via teleconference. You must be proactive in communicating your needs if this were your case.
Cadet Staff positions that are open for application are:
Flight Commander (11)
Director of Public Affairs*
Flight Sergeant (11)
Public Affairs Officer/NCOs
First Sergeant (3)
Director of Logistics*
Chief of Staff*
Logistics Officer/NCOs
Director of Mess*
Director of Administration*
Mess Officer/NCOs
Administration Officer/NCOs
*Note: If you are interested in being a Department Director in the Support Squadron, specific directions will be sent to you in regard to your evaluation process.
If you have any questions in regard to the application process, contact The Cadet Training Group Executive Officer, C/Major Kelcy Dungo, at kdungo@yahoo.com. We look forward to seeing your application and anticipate a successful encampment together.
