IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CADETS ATTENDING MAWG 2010 ENCAMPMENT

Mission: 190 Cadet Training Group provides leadership training at Fort Devens, MA from 08 Aug to 15 Aug to develop individual skills, foster teamwork, and educate cadets on what's available to them through the Civil Air Patrol.

Commander's Intent: Our purpose is to form character within the cadets that builds upon their experiences. Key to this will be a safe training environment with quality instruction leading to a positive learning experience, but one that is also fun and memorable. The endstate for this week will be well rounded cadets able to make intelligent choices when faced with different/difficult situations throughout their lives, both in and out of Civil Air Patrol

Encampment Application packets are now available for download here. You must also sign the Devens Release Agreement found here and the Hold Harmless Agreement here, and include with your application package. Application and all forms due at Wing no later than 02 Aug, 2010.

Application deadline, meaning the application has been received by Wing Administrator, is 02 Aug, 2010. All applications must be postmarked by 02 Aug 2010. Late applications will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Please note there have been several drastic changes from the way the 190th Cadet Training Group has handled medications and medical issues in the past. This year cadets will be responsible to handle and administer their own medications. While the Medical Personnel will be aware that a cadet may require medication, they can not and will not administer it. Medical Personnel can only check to see if a medication has been taken, if they have been asked by the Cadet’s parent(s)/Guardian(s) and accept that responsibility.

This year, the 190th Cadet Training Group will have a limited number of Medical Personnel on staff. The current plan is to have one EMT per squadron that will remain with the squadron during the Encampment and one EMT to be a floater amongst the squadrons and group staff. The primary function of the EMTs will be to triage any injured personnel, determine the extent of injury, determine mode of transport, and prepare for transportation to the local hospital. Before any action is taken the Cadet’s Emergency Contact will be notified and informed of the situation. So if you are a Cadet’s Emergency Contact please make sure that you provide the most up-to-date contact information on the forms provided in the application package.

The fee for this year's encampment is $130.00. Various squadron and wing scholarships may be available, so please use your chain of command to determine what scholarships may be available and the requirements to apply for them if available.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email at john.flaherty@mawg.cap.gov or cell phone at 781.556.1314. For medical questions someone will be available to answer your questions on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:00pm, 16 June – 21 July at 781-377-7023.
