Welcome to the 2016 Tennessee Wing Encampment web page. Lt Gen Keith Huber,USA(ret) and the Cadet Leadership Team June 11 - 2016
It is with a sigh of relief, pride, and a few sore feet that we leave the 2016 encampment. The senior staff worked wonderfully together and the cadet staff was a model of what a group of cadet officers and NCO's should be. Cadets from across the state are now better prepared to take on the challenges back at their squadrons, and throughout their lives. My personal thanks to the senior staff that chose to leave family and work and home to come participate. I can't thank the cadets staff enough for making this encampment an enjoyable, efficient, and educational experience for their students. Lastly, I would like to thank the cadets from Tennessee (and a few from Georgia) who gave up part of their summer to prepare themselves to serve. You are my personal heroes! -Lt Col Jeff Clark, CAP June 10 - 2016
Thursday saw the final rotation of the events we had to break down cadets for throughout the week. The last of the flights rotated through the Water Safety Course and Pool Challenge. Also, the last of the cadets cycled through the indoor training simulators and the Air Traffic Control scenarios. The week is flying by and soon we'll be closing out a great year. June 9 - 2016
Wednesday was "fly day" at the encampment with over 100 cadets orientations flown. Class, simulators, tours and military drill training complimented great food and great evening sports. June 8 - 2016
It is amazing how many activities you can squeeze into one day. Tuesday was a huge day a the encampment. The cadets are having a blast and the senior are drinking enormous amounts of coffee. June 7 - 2016
Monday was a busy and excellent day for the encampment. Lt. General Huber's speeches were both motivational and highly instructive. The cadets began their rotations through two different types of simulators in conjunction with the Department of Aerospace Studies. The evening finished up with exercise stations and competitive intermurals. June 6 - 2016 Encampment is off and running! Please download the day one newsletter below or visit the facebook page. 95 Cadets and 15 Senior staff have begun this summer's training in the state's largest annual cadet event. This year's encampment is at a new location and offers new challenges and new opportunities. A tremendous 'thank you' goes out to all the wing personnel who have spent months preparing for this week. We had a busy but highly successful day one and this could not happen without hundreds of hours of advance work, training, and planning. We will update you daily with pictures and newsletters. --LtCol Jeff Clark, CAP 1 June Second Reminder of correction! There was a typo in the Operation Order that originally went out.
