CTG has welcomed and graduated more

than 10,000 cadets into its ranks. As CTG

the our service academies and become

successul leaders in the armed orces o

the United States. Others have become suc-

cessul businessmen and women as a result o

the training they received in the CTG. Former cadets are

now serving in Iraq, Aghanistan, and other the-

aters o operations throughout the world.

This weekbook is dedicated to the thou-

sands o CTG graduates who welcome

Lt.Col.Christine.O.Lee.

Encampment.Commander

I congratulate you on successully complet-

ing the 2007 Caliornia Wing Encampment.

You have had an adventure at Camp San

Luis Obispo. You have had Helicopter O-

Rides, Marksmanship Training, the Obstacle

Course, competitions in Drill and Volleyball,

as well as a Group Run. You have had a va-

riety o classes, activities, and inspections.You have learned to work as a team. You

have been tested physically and mentally.

The standards or success were set high

and you have met those standards and suc-

ceeded.

I hope that your accomplishment here will

give you the condence to try new adven-

tures back in your CAP home unit as well

as in your personal lie. I also hope to see

you again at a CAP activity. I look orward

to hearing about your new adventures and

your new successes.

Lt.Col.Robert.A.Fauteux.

Commandant.of.Cadets

Congratulations Cadets! Youve completed

one o the most challenging weeks o your

year and even your lie. Encampment is an

opportunity to learn about ourselves, push

our limits and accomplish things we never

dreamed we could doand you did it.

Most importantly, Encampment taught us

how to pull together as a team and accom-plish so much more than we could ever do

on our own, even when we didnt have as

much time as we might have wanted.

Dont orget the new riends youve made

and the successes youve had as you return

back to your normal lie. Use your skills

to make success in all you do, and make us

proud with your integrity and commitment

to excellence.

C/Lt.Col.Cash.AM.Upton.

Commander,.

Cadet.Training.Group

I am proud o all o you or your hard work

and dedication throughout this week. When

you signed your basic cadet contract the

task ahead o you seemed daunting, and

when you were directed rom the room

by the Sergeant Major, Im sure the week

ahead o you seemed that much more di-cult. However, the important thing to re-

member now that graduation is upon us is

that you accomplished the tasks set beore

you, and you did not quitno matter how

rigorous it elt at times. I commend you or

ullling your commitment to yoursel, your

teammates, and the Cadet Training Group.

Take what youve learned at encampment

and apply it to your uture endeavors. Never

orget that your success was because o your

condence in yoursel and the support and

teamwork rom your ellow fight mates.

C/CMSgt.Lucien.Banales.

Sergeant.Major,.

Cadet.Training.Group

For the past eight days, youve endured

what could potentially be the most dicult

stressul, and high-intensity experience o

your youth. At the beginning o encamp

ment, each o you showed up clueless and

unprepared, yet ater only a week, you were

able to walk away condent and proudAll this was possible only because each o

you motivated yourselves to keep push

ing everyday and not give upand more

importantly, by not allowing those around

you to quit.

Now that you have completed my chal

lenge, I charge you to carry on what youve

been taught here and apply yourselves in

lie wherever it may take you!

Now carry on...

[The mental aspect] was by

far the most valuable and chal-

lenging part of CSS because

having to think when you are

tired and hungry is a critical

skill to have in a real survival

situation.Even though I

have been to PJOC I still found

it to be a challenge

This course forced me to think

on my own, to break from the

herd mentality and not only

process my surroundings as an

adult, but an adult competent

in the ways of the world and

well-versed in thought and

logic.

This is one of the few CAP ac-

tivities where Ive really been

expected to behave like an

adult, to really take care of my-

self and my team.

In my mind, CSS is ranked

right up next to PJOC and COS

in value to the Cadet Program

and my personal growth.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

GRADUATION

The nal day o training brought a renzy o preparation to return

the encampment area to its same state o eleven days earlier,

when the rst staf members arrived. The cadets packed up their

belongings, stripped down their racks and readied themselves

or graduation. A nal Moral Leadership presentation gave ev-

eryone cause to reect on their encampment experience.

Having arrived at Camp SLO as individuals, the basic cadets

came together rst as ights, then as squadrons, and nally,

as the Cadet Training Group. And as the Cadet Training Group

they were presented to Pacic Region Vice Commander Col

Larry Myrick, who reviewed the cadets as they marched in the

traditional graduation parade where encampment honors or

both individual achievement and ight accomplishments were

awarded.

And then, almost as quickly as it began, encampment came to an

end. Cadets who were strangers just nine days beore exchanged

tearul goodbyes with their ightmates, then met their parents,

amilies and riends as changed individuals, proud members othe Caliornia Wing Cadet Training Group.
