📧 CAWG Email System – Google Workspace Transition Help
Last Updated: January 31, 2026
California Wing (CAWG) completed its transition from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace on December 8, 2025. All CAWG members (cadets and senior members) are now expected to use their CAWG Google email accounts fully (if assigned).
CAWG is proud to provide each of our members with a unique email account to support secure communication across the organization and with our external partners.
🔐 How to Access Your CAWG Email
| Member Type | Email Format | Login URL |
|---|---|---|

mail.google.com/a/cawgcap.org |
| Cadets (C/NCOs and C/Officers) |
firstname.lastname@cawgcadets.org |
