Unless you are serving in a staff capacity, you are expected to report at 0800 on Saturday, 18 July. If you are a staff member (senior or cadet) please report on Friday, 17 July, no later than 1300. There are many objectives that need to be met that day, so please show up prepared and ready to go to work. Anyone other than cadet or senior staff that for some reason needs to arrive prior to 0800 on 18 July MUST OBTAIN PRIOR APPROVAL. If you require such approval please email the encampment commander, Maj Jonathan Reid at

, to obtain approval. Approval will only be granted if transportation arrangements preclude a Saturday arrival for anyone not on cadet staff. The reasons for this limitation is simple -- we do not have the buildings and resources to house and feed people that we don't know are coming early. Please contact us if we can be of any assistance! We look forward to seeing your applications very soon, and to seeing all of you in Alpena! Regards, Jonathan Reid, Maj, CAP Commander 2009 GLR-N/MIWG Encampment |
