Lewis M. Ashbrook Composite Squadron 805

Civil Air Patrol, the OFFICIAL auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit, aviation-oriented, volunteer organization. Young men and women who are U.S. citizens or aliens "lawfully admitted for permanent residence" may become Civil Air Patrol cadets. Additionally, prospective cadets must be in school or if graduated from high school, not be married or in the active military service. To join, a new cadet must have completed the sixth grade or be 12 years old. The maximum age for entering the Cadet Program is 18. Those who enter before 18 may elect to remain a cadet until age 21 or become a senior member at age 18. Becoming a civil air patrol cadet does not obligate you to join any of the United States armed forces.

TRAINING-

The Cadet Program helps develop thousands of young men and women to become leaders of the future. Training includes, but is not limited to flying, military drill and ceremonies, aerospace education, communications, as well as the study of navigation, weather, and aviation. Hundreds of Civil Air Patrol cadets each year are given orientation flights in many different types of military aircraft. They also have the opportunity for orientation flights aboard Civil Air Patrol search aircraft and gliders. Also, cadets may compete for flying and academic scholarships as they advance in the program.

ACTIVITIES-

Civil Air Patrol cadets are eligible to attend exciting local, national, and international activities each year. Some of these events include U.S. Air Force pilot and space program familiarization traing; education at Air Force and other Department of Defense installations; summer encampments on military installations across the nation; pararescue orientation courses; flight training through solo with Civil Air Patrol instructors; competition for Civil Air Patrol scholarships; attendance at Cadet Officer School and Cadet Leadership School; participation in Civil Air Patrol's National Cadet Competition; assistance in community events and more. Increased rank, responsibility, and public recognition are also available based on advancement in the Cadet Program.
