Do we know the status if FLWG is going to have a winter encampment yet?

Cool! When do applications open?

MSG Mac · September 18, 2011, 09:54:46 PM

I got that after receiving a FLWG message calling for applications for C/CC. Check with your Squadron or the FLWG Cadet Programs page.

Extremepredjudice · September 18, 2011, 09:56:52 PM

Flcadet's page says only C/CC apps are open.

Yes, it did. The question was when, where and and if the FLWG encampmant was being held. Also advised to check with his chain of command and the FLWG web page. Question answered!

Not necessary,the website is outdated (due to it still showing last years info) and my chain of command has no clue since Im not in FLWG. Hint hint one of the reasons I asked on here.

The FLWG's Cadet programs staff is located on that website. Ask them for current information.

Extremepredjudice · October 04, 2011, 01:24:53 AM

Not listed on the web site. You might want to contact the Encampment CC about it.

You don't want to go, the flwg encampments are not what they used to be,

the first time cadets are not allowed to be called doolies. All we need to do now is to sell popcorn then we will be boy scouts.

Because it's insulting, demeaning and hazing.

Sounds like a good thing then.

Stonewall · December 04, 2011, 08:05:47 PM

What? They can't call first timers "doolies"? That's blasphemy.

Seriously? FLWG encampments are just as good & sometimes better than others. Don't get caught up in the silliness like this. Going to a CAP encampment is the key to the gateway that opens up a lot of opportunities in CAP.

Go to the FLWG winter encampment and enjoy it. Its inevitable that everyone says their encampment was the coolest/toughest/baddest/best/you name it. And just like my 1st encampment as a cadet at Tyndall AFB in 1987, yours will be better than all the others.

...not quite.

Comparing CAP and BSA is like comparing apples to oranges. Let's not start this debate because there are many differences, and also, there are many areas in which the BSA has the advantage. I know many in CAP like to tease about the BSA, but let's not forget the reality of the important details.

I'm proud to be both a former Cadet and an Eagle Scout, and have continued my involvement in both well into my adult years. Each has had an impact on who/what I've become and I would not write-off either as insignificant. I recognize and appreciate the strengths, weaknesses, and mission-focus of each organization, as should you.

They have become a bunch of BS with all the hazing policies, I understand we are not the military, but we wear AF uniforms we are not the boy scouts. The first year cadets at the academy are called doolies. No where in the regs does it say I cannot call a cadet a doolie.

Actually it does. It says they shall be addressed by rank or called cadet.

Where does it say you can?
