Is the Civil Air Patrol for you? Learn about us at our upcoming Open House on Tuesday, October 1 beginning at 6pm and going until 8:30 pm. Refreshments will be served.
Civil Air Patrol serves the local community through the three CAP missions: cadet programs, emergency services and aerospace education. All of our members are volunteers and CAP is a non-profit organization.
The cadet program is for youths 12-18 with an emphasis on leadership training, aerospace education, character development and physical fitness. Some of the unique opportunities available to cadets include orientation flights aboard CAP aircraft, drill and ceremonies, model rocketry, encampments, and emergency services training. CAP is not a military recruiting program. However, cadets who choose to pursue military careers will benefit from previous CAP experience. Approximately 10% of the US Air Force Academy cadets were formerly CAP cadets.
Adult members in CAP have a wide variety of jobs to specialize in. Some serve as instructors and mentors to cadets, others serve as pilots, radio operators, Chaplains, public affairs officers, legal officers, information technology specialists, etc. There is a niche for just about anyone who is willing to volunteer their time and serve their community as a CAP member. All adult members must pass a FBI background check as part of the application process to ensure the safety of all of our members.
We meet every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. If you are interested contact us at capitalcomposite@yahoo.com for detailed directions to our meeting facility.
