Loved FLWG encampment! I was also the guidon (bearer for the week (Bravo flight).

I want to go back as staff for winter encampment, but, unfortunately, know next to nothing about the different positions of cadet staff. I should be C/SArm (if not C/SSgt) in time for FLWG winter. What positions would be open to me, and how would I go about applying for those positions.

They just opened staff applications the other day. As a C/SSgt you can apply for Flight Sergeant or a support staff position (DFAC, logistics, Public Affairs, etc).

Here's a link to the encampment website, more information is available there. http://www.flcadet.com/cp/winterencampment.aspx

Also, minor note: Cadet Airman is abbreviated C/Amn and Cadet Senior Airman is C/SrA.

Go to http://www.flcadet.com and see when Winter Encampment is listed. There should be a list of forms to fill out and the Ops order. Check weekly since the information is not yet posted.

Encampment this year was a wonderful swan song for my cadet career. I was there as the Communications C/OIC as well as a backup PAO and quite thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Each year I've been to encampment has been a unique learning experience, and I'm sure that going as a senior next year will be another unique challenge I am eager to undertake!

If you have the 10 minutes, take a look at the video we showed at the graduation banquet: http://vimeo.com/13343294 Gives you an idea of the fun we had!

Every April for the last two years I feel like I should be somewhere. Then I realize that It's been 2 years since my last encampment.

What is stopping you from going to an encampment now?

Your experience would be valuable to lots of cadets and you will have lots of fun working as staff.
