Indiana wing encampment

[Scurtin]

I just recently joined cap about a month ago, and will be attending the indiana wing encampment for my first time, i've been reading about the basics, but was wondering if anyone who had been to the inwg encampment had any info i needed before going there, i'm sure my squad will eventualy go over it, but since im just coming up to a month, i was wondering if anyone had like a list of things i need, that way i have time to go get it, or if they had any thoughts about inwg encampment, whether it be a good story, or whatever.

Thanks,
Skyler Curtin

Make sure you're a C/Amn before you go.

Wow, didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I need to whip myself into shape.

Thanks
