Virtual Reality Cadet Conference Feb 12-15, 2021: Registration is now open!

Gift ideas for cadets: Not sure what to get your favorite cadet for his or her birthday, Christmas, or other gift-giving occasion? Not sure what to ask for for yourself? Perhaps the items on these Amazon wish lists will help.  Be sure to change the address to your own address.  Otherwise you may get these for me by accident!  Also feel free to suggest additional items for these lists.  You don't have to order them from amazon.  These are just ideas.

When buying items on Vanguard remember (1) look on their facebook page for a discount code and (2) $35 or more gets you free shipping.

 

 

Wing-Level Awards:

Starting Oct 1 of each year, cadets become eligible for multiple Squadron- and Wing-level awards such as VFW Officer, VFW NCO, AFSA NCO, AFSA Aerospace Ed, AFA Cadet of the Year, Achievement Awards, and Wing Commander's Commendations. If you (cadets) print the template in the website below and make notes on your accomplishments throughout the year, it is easier for leadership to nominate your for one of these awards.  Nominations are due in August of every year. We will announce 2020 Lake Hood awards at our 1/26/21 CD/Promotion/Awards meeting

See example awards recommendations under "Cadet Templates" here: https://akwg.cap.gov/members1/awardsdecorations/template
