Anticipation grows toward its peak among the staff and students here at the 2024 GAWG Encampment. Soon, staff members will see their hard work come to fruition as the students proceed with their tasks for the week.
“I am looking forward to watching the cadet [students] develop discipline and confidence throughout the week,” says Standards and Evaluation staff member Cadet Captain Katerina Conley from Cobb County Composite Squadron. “I’m a little nervous about the cadets’ reaction to the intensity.” However, she feels hopeful and optimistic about the week. The Standards and Evaluation staff work through the week to observe the encampment and determine the awards for each day.
Cadet Senior Master Sergeant Lythgoe, from the Peachtree City-Falcon Field Composite Squadron, is in a direct leadership position as Alpha Flight Sergeant. He is hoping to see leadership growth in himself as well as his flight this week. He is most nervous about losing accountability for one of his cadets. However, he is confident and capable and he will see his flight through to graduation. Although most staff have been planning for months, today is the day it all becomes more tangible rather than conceptual. Yesterday was confusing and hectic as the students arrived, but today is when the organization kicks in. Overall, everyone is eagerly anticipating what this week will bring out in the students and staff.
