encampment. Applications for Cadet NCO and Airmen Cadre positions will be opening shortly.
Basic duty descriptions for most positions are available in CAPP 52-15 Cadet Staff Handbook. Applicants
are encouraged to review CAPP 52-24 Cadet Encampment Guide. Applications are due no later than

•
A good understanding of the cadet program.
An ability to work with other cadets and senior members.
A willingness to work hard and expand upon existing leadership and followership skills.
Candidates must have achieved their Mitchell prior to 1 July 2015.
One of the goals for Winter Eagle V is for the Cadet Cadre to take ownership of the activity and through
the mentorship of senior members, plan and execute an outstanding, safe and enriching encampment.
Each Cadet Officer will be assigned a senior member mentor within the same area of responsibility with
whom they will work throughout this coming year to fully prepare for encampment. Cadet Officers will
oversee and lead the Cadet NCOs and Cadet Airmen working under them.
All applicants must submit a cover letter (in CAP memorandum format) and CAP resume outlining their
qualifications and desire to serve in the top three positions they are interested in. Additionally, they may
submit an optional leadership philosophy outline, describing their personal leadership philosophy (see
