2013 CALIFORNIA WING ENCAMPMENT

The Cadet Training Group was founded in the summer of 1975 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. In the 38 years since, the CTG has welcomed and graduated more than 10,000 cadets into its ranks. As CTG graduates have excelled in their CAP careers, they have become even more successful in other aspects of their life. CTG alumni have gone on to become successful leaders both in the civil sector as well as in the armed forces of the United States. Former Cadets are now serving in Afghanistan and other theaters of operations throughout the world. Graduates, we welcome you into the distinguished ranks of the Cadet Training Group.

CADET TRAINING GROUP HISTORY

49th Cadet Training Squadron Commander

Tom Doyle
The 49th Cadet Training Squadron of the Cadet Training Group is unique in Cadet Training Group history. No cadets were ever assigned to the 49th CTS; the number was set aside to honor a former member of the Cadet Training Group. Cadet Captain Tom Doyle was a Northern California youth who was a leader in his school and community, a licensed pilot at age 17 and an outstanding member of the Civil Air Patrol. Cadet Doyle was selected to command the 18th CTS at Fort Ord in the summer of 1980. However, a change in personnel requirements resulted in the activation of only one CTS instead of the three that were planned. Shortly after the Fort Ord Encampment, Cadet Doyle commanded Delta Flight, 17th CTS at McClellan AFB.

Cadet Captain

At 17 he earned his FAA private pilot certificate and won an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he graduated in the top 5% of his class. After completing training as a F-16 fighter pilot, he was stationed in Germany (NATO) with the 10 TFS Fighting Tenth(USAFE). On one grim cloudy day in the spring of 1988, 1st Lieutenant Tom E. Popeye Doyles F-16 fighter experienced catastrophic engine failure while over the center of the city of Forst. Although he could have bailed out, Lt. Doyle elected to stay with his crippled fighter to guide it away from the shops, schools and congestion below. He succeeded, but died in the ensuing crash. In 1989, the Cadet Training Group recognized Lt. Doyle by naming posthumously, as the commander of the 49th Cadet Training Squadron. The guidon of the 49th Cadet Training Squadron appears on the Cadet Training Group shield as a reminder of our CTG hero.

Congratulations on completing your basic encampment. More importantly, congratulations to committing yourself to a difficult task and finishing what you started. By doing so you have refined your character and become more vivid versions of yourself. You step forward into the ranks of servants, and supporter. Not kings or rulers, but leaders and learners. Not to glorify what you have accomplished as an individual. Your position within the group is temporary and circumstantial, but your willingness to serve toward a goal greater than yourself is timeless. Most of your peers will look back at this summer as a season of fun and friends. You will be able to look back to this season as the beginning of doing hard things, of challenging your limitations, and of never settling for your first attempt. You also have the fun and the friends, but you have so much more in addition. Teamwork, attention to detail, and pushing yourself past your perceived personal limits will always result in a better outcome. You have now taken your first steps into The Cadet Training Group, and I say from personal experience that it is a journey of a life time. No matter where you go in life, you will always carry The Cadet Training Group, your band of brothers, in your heart. Continue to seek excellence in all that you do.
- C/Lt Col Rachel Khattar/2013 CTG Commander
