Registration

Basic Students

Registration Open

Cadets, Seniors, and Parents

Registration for New Jersey Wing Basic Encampment 2023 (NJWG BE23) is progressing swiftly and we are quickly filling student slots.  We must limit the student wait list to 200, and will be closing BE23 registration no later than 2359 Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, 19 May 2023; or upon reaching 200 applicants, whichever comes first.

The Air Force has not confirmed which facility will house us at the Joint Base, so we do not have a final count of beds available.  If we have a smaller dorm than expected, we will be forced to limit the number of cadets we can accept. If this becomes necessary, we will prioritize cadets on the wait list based primarily on the phase the cadets are currently in; starting with Phase 4 and working back to Phase 1.  There are still cadet officers who progressed through the Mitchell milestone award under COVID waivers, and they have to go back and get their encampment.  Those who do not get a slot on the first pass will remain on the wait list (pending additional openings).

Cadets above the cut line will be provided additional information on making payment and preparing for BE23.  Those below the cut line will be advised of continued wait list status and provided updates on any movement up the list.  Those cadets will also be provided information on getting ready to attend encampment in case they wish to remain on the wait list for an opening.

Since NJWG BE23 is one of the last Type A encampments of the summer, the staff urges members to consider earlier encampments, or look for Type B encampments during the non-summer months.  Every effort will be made to provide an Encampment slot to all cadets who will realistically be eligible for their Mitchell Award before they have a chance to attend a 2024 encampment.  Thank you for your patience while we wait to hear back from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL).
