Event Details
California Wing,
I am excited to announced that applications are re-opening for those interested in serving on CTG Cadre at the 2020-2021 CAWG Encampment!
Due to the postponement of the summer encampment, we are holding a second Virtual Cadre Selection Exercise (VCSX). This is to allow cadets who did not apply for the Spring VCSX, to apply to be on Cadre at our Winter Encampment. This Fall VCSX will have the exact same timeline, evaluations, and selection criteria as the Spring VCSX.
NOTE: All applicants who applied during our spring VCSX will have their scores carried over and do not need to re-apply.
Serving on cadre is an excellent way to apply skill sets you have obtained from previous experiences and will provide you the chance to develop new ones. I encourage all cadets to review the available positions below and identify which position to apply for!
