SC WING 2025 CADET PROGRAMS EVENTS

SC Wing CTW Expanded to Include First NCO Academy

This year’s Spring 2025 Cadet Training Weekend (CTW) has been expanded to include the South Carolina Wing's first Cadet Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (NCOA). This co-located event will feature combined and separate training sessions for CTW and NCOA participants.

This year’s leadership/admin team comprises Lt Col James Thomas and TSgt Matthew Vermette.

Who should attend:

• Cadet Airmen (C/AB - C/SrA): Participate in traditional CTW pre-encampment training.

• Cadet NCOs (C/SSgt - C/CMSgt): Attend the NCOA for leadership development, training, andmentorship, working directly with CTW cadets. NCOA attendance is mandatory for these ranks; no staff application is required.

• Cadet Officers: As CTW staff/cadre, focusing on pre-encampment training, standardization, and fol-lower development. Applicants must submit a CAP resume using the template provided in an email from Lt Col Rachael Mercer on behalf of SMSgt William Jackson. Officer roles include flight/squadron commanders and executive staff. Support staff positions are also available, with reduced demands compared to encampment.

• Adult Members: Provide general organizational and support assistance. Please email both members of the admin team (emails above) with "Adult Senior Member Applicant Preferences" in the subject line to indicate the way in which you are available to serve.

• Flight Sergeant: The only flight sergeants will be the Cadet NCO Academy students. They will be trained and assisted; if successful, they can apply to be cadet cadre flight sergeants supporting En-campment 2025.
