Each year, California wing holds a Staff Selection Exercise for their summer Encampment. This year, on May 15-17, several cadet staff members from Squadron 56 went to the Staff Selection Exercise in hope of being selected for the 2009 CAWG/NVWG Summer Encampment.
This event was very stressful, as was it’s purpose. All attendees has to go through rigorous testing. They were review boards, two inspections, motivational speeches, improvised speeches, instructing drill, instructing physical training, essay prompts, several tests, and physical fitness testing. This was all so that the executive staff could properly choose the 2009 Encampment staff. Squadron 56 was very luck to have 6 members on staff. Here is a list of the positions our cadet staff received:
C/1st Lt Gamboa- Deputy Officer in Command of Mess
C/CMSgt Cervantes- Mess Staff
C/2d Lt Philp- Alpha Flight Commander
C/Msgt Swanson- Public Affairs NCO
C/Tsgt Gamboa- Logistics NCO
C/SSgt Rupprecht- Juliet Flight Sergeant
Congratulations to all of the cadets who got on staff for CAWG/NVWG Encampment 2009!
