We are in the final days of being able to sign up for the Alabama Wing Conference and Banquet. I must turn in numbers to the Hotel by Monday Morning. If you have not already done so, please register as soon as possible. I would prefer it be done by midnight because we have to gather the data and put together a package for the hotel.

Thank You,
Col Harris

We are a couple of weeks away from our first major event since 2019, the 2021 Alabama Wing Conference. This conference will be a face-to-face event in Birmingham, Alabama on the weekend of 6 - 8 Aug 2021. As I write this note, we are finalizing the agenda/schedule. I will send out a sketch of the plan once it is ready. In the meantime, we need your support! I hope you can attend this event. It will be a great time of fellowship, business, and fun. Please register as soon as possible, but before 30 July 2021 so we can work with the Hotel and get our food and snacks ordered. If you have questions, please let us know.

Applications are now open for the 2021 ALWG Encampment. Information can be found on the ALWG Website

ALWG Encampment | Alabama Wing (cap.gov) several items are still being finalized like the ALWG Encampment OPORD and so some documents are not available as of yet, there is also an issue with the registration link and ALWG/IT has been made aware so it can be repaired. You can directly link to the online application form at https://alwg.formstack.com/forms/2021_alwg_encampment. The dates for this year are 27 Jun – 3 Jul 2021, and tuition will be $200 per student cadet. I realize this is an increase, but this is the first increase the encampment has had to its tuition since at least 2015. CAP/CP does offer the CEAP program to assist with tuition scholarship. The staff and myself are working to make this encampment one to remember.

Seniors and cadet officers and NCOs we still need plenty of help on staff as well so please if you can consider applying as staff. If there is a EMT, Paramedic, Nurse, PA, Doctor with an active license who has a week to give I have an urgent need for someone to serve as Health Services Officer. Also if you may only have a day or two to give we can still use the help just email me and let me know what you feel might be a good fit for you.
