Cadet Programs
 While
there are many youth oriented programs in America today, CAP's cadet
program is unique in that it uses aviation as a cornerstone.
Thousands of young people from 12 years through age 21 are introduced
to aviation through CAP's cadet program. The program allows young
people to progress at their own pace through a 16-step program
including aerospace education, leadership training, physical fitness
and moral leadership. Cadets compete for academic scholarships to
further their studies in fields such as engin eering,
science, aircraft mechanics, aerospace medicine, meteorology, as well
as many others. Those
cadets who earn cadet officer status may enter the Air Force as an E3
(airman first class) rather than an E1 (airman basic).
Whatever your interests-survival training, flight training, photography, astronomy-there's a place for you in CAP's cadet program. Each year, cadets have the opportunity to participate in special activities at the local, state, regional or national level. Many cadets will have the opportunity to solo fly an airplane for the first time through a flight encampment or academy. Others will enjoy traveling abroad through the International Air Cadet Exchange Program. Still others assist at major air shows throughout the nation.
