Cadet Programs Mission
This mission has many different aspects to it:
Drill and Ceremonies
Field and Flight Training
The main purpose of field training is to equip the cadets with the skills and knowledge they will need when they go out on missions. In Central Texas, several squadrons get together about every month to provide field training through functions such as FTX's (Field Training Exercise) and SAREX's (Search And Rescue Exercise). In these exercises, the cadets learn such survival skills as shelter-building, land navigation, and camping techniques.
The main purpose of flight training is to equip the cadets with the skills and knowledge they will need to operate an aircraft properly. Cadets attend Orientation Flights to not only learn about aircraft and its dynamics, but also how to actually fly. Every summer there is a week-long Flight Encampment in which cadets fly solo by the end of the encampment and earn their solo wings.
Civil Air Patrol Grade Structure
Civil Air Patrol uses the U.S. Air Force grade structure, with just a few differences. One such difference is that cadet officers where grade which consist of pips and diamonds, while the senior members use the Air Force's officer grade. Also, CAP's enlisted ranks are all associated with an achievement for which a cadet recieves a ribbon when he/she completes it. For more information about the grade structure and the cadet achievements they are associated with, please visit our CAP Grade page.
