Group V and Texas Wing Cadet Activities on the Horizon By Major Juan Arredondo, CAP
Squadron Commanders, Cadet Program Officers, and CAC There are quite a few cadet activities that are coming up within the next couple of weeks that every cadet in Group V should take advantage of. CTEP will be occurring at Camp Mabry in Austin on Nov. 23-25. Even though the registration deadline has closed, I feel our group should be well represented. The big one coming up is Winter Encampment at Camp Swift in Bastrop on December 26- 31. The staff deadline has past, however from what I have seen; there will be many members from the group on staff including the encampment cadet commander, C/Maj. Gus Rojas out of Lackland Cadet Squadron. Good luck to all staff members. The BASIC application deadline is on Dec. 1st. Please see the links below for application details. Last year we had a great turn out and I know this year will be even better. The encampment is one of the most rewarding programs a cadet can attend. http://www.texascadet.org/programs/activities/0712_winterencampment/index.html or go to Application Instructions at: http://texascadet.org/programs/activities/0712_winterencampment/application/ In addition to the encampment, the Brownsville Composite Squadron and Texas Wing Emergency Services will be hosting the Texas Wing Ground Team School in Brownsville also on the same week as the encampment. A basic course will offer qualifications in GTM3 and 2 and an advanced leaders course will offer qualifications in GTM1 and GTL. The course will offer practical GT training in a real world environment. It will be an excellent opportunity to brush up on GT skills and receive initial GT qualifications and/or upgrades and renewals from your current qualifications. The entire course will be in the field with little to no creature comforts. Rain or shine, sun or snow it will defiantly test ones ability to survive in the wildest environment South Texas has to offer. I have attached the OPS PLAN which contains contact and application procedures. The course is open to both cadets (prior encampment) and senior members (Level 1 and Cadet Protection). Send inquires to: I am sorry for not e-mailing activity up dates sooner, but work Cadet Programs Officer has been a little crazy this school year. Despite that, I am available thru e-mail and over the phone (after 4:30 pm ) for any questions concerning Group V (956)755-9539 cadet programs. My special thanks go out to Capt. Brymer and Cadet Robert Adams for their work in organizing the CAC and the group rec day as well as Cadet Gus Rojas and the Lackland Cadet Squadron for the Group V ALS. This year has been a great one for Group V Cadet Programs and I am looking forward to a better year ahead.
We need to have a good showing on this opportunity or we may not get another aircraft! We need to show the Wing that we are motivated!
A schedule for these activities will be forthcoming and will be sent out as an EXTRA along with a copy of the Cadet Orientation Flight Syllabus. Lt Col Barfoot needs these crew schedules by 14 Nov so he can put together a flight schedule. -SEMPER VIGILANS
