CADET PROGRAMS
The
Cadet Program
develops
the potential of youth aged
12 to 21, through aerospace
education, leadership
training, and physical
fitness. More than 27,000
youth from the U.S. and
Puerto Rico participate and
progress through a 16-step
program with exciting
aviation and aerospace
activities occurring on a
local and national level.
CAP adult members
(Senior Members) help
inspire and encourage cadets
interested in aviation
industry or military
careers. Parents and
educators credit the cadet
program for communicating
the importance of integrity,
self-discipline and trust in
their children’s personal
and professional success.
Ten percent of all students
enrolled in the Air Force
Academy are former CAP
cadets, many who were not
cadets become cadets and
later senior members. More than 200 former
cadets attend West Point and
about 150 attend the Naval
Academy. Three of the four
young women accepted as the
first to attend the formerly
all male Virginia Military
Institute are CAP cadets. Cadets who earn the General
Billy Mitchell Award are
eligible to enlist in the
Air Force at a higher
pay-grade.
