Welcome
The NJ Wing 2010 Basic
Encampment and NCO Leadership Academy will be held
at Fort Dix, NJ. Once again, we expect to have any
outstanding Encampment experience for Basic Cadets,
Staff and CAP Officers.
Dates for the encampment and registration information will be posted
at a later time.
We are planning a challenging
and enjoyable activity -- one that truly exemplifies
the spirit of the Cadet Program Encampment as the
most important
single event in a CAP Cadet's career. For every
cadet in New Jersey and surrounding wings that need
Basic Encampment for their Mitchell Award,
eligibility for NCSAs, or simply to progress in the
Cadet Program, this will be the "must attend"
encampment in 2010.
For Cadets who have previously attended a Basic
Encampment, but have not yet received their Mitchell
award, we offer our NCO Academy. In its second year,
this will combine academic instruction with
challenging practical work outside of the classroom,
all while preserving the "fun" activities of the
Encampment experience. Cadets in the Grade of
C/Senior Airman to C/Chief Master Sergeant are
welcome to apply, and we intend to return these
students to their units as advanced Cadet leaders in
their local unit's program. Prior completion of a
Basic Encampment is required for this activity.
This activity is strictly limited to
a total of 40 students, so register early.
Once you have completed this online
registration process, you will receive an e-mail
with the entire packet of forms, which you will HAND
CARRY with you to in-processing .
I look forward to seeing another year of cadets
progress through the Basic Encampment as the gateway
to the rest of their individual CAP Cadet career.
Most of the staff is in place, and has worked hard
for several months to ensure this will be another
great Encampment, but there are still selected
support staff and CAP Officer positions we need to
fill. If you are a cadet interested in serving on
staff, contact the Commandant of Cadets, Capt David Maver (David.Maver@njwg.cap.gov).
If you are a CAP Officer and can volunteer your time
(for all of the week, or just a few days, please
contact me (Joseph.McGuire.NHQ@njwg.cap.gov)
personally.
I look forward to seeing many old friends and CAP
colleagues there, and meeting many new ones!
Best Regards,
Maj Joseph McGuire, CAP
Commander, NJ Wing 2010 Basic Encampment
