Not necessarily, but you will have to join the senior member portion of CAP at 21. You probably won't reach the highest ranking, but you'll get the same experience nonetheless.
@Memphian72 Should I join? I am 13.. I am not like the best at sports but I love military and want to try. I asked my PE teacher what I should do to get more built for this so im not huffing and puffing and he said just do a bunch of pushups.. whats your advice to get built? (what exersizes do you do)
My daughter wants to join the military but she's barely 13, I'm thinking of asking if she would consider CAP or NLSC, it's too bad there isn't an installation or group anywhere near my area, the closest is in Arizona.
my squadron is so small it only has about 12 active cadets...and about 8 attend the meetings every week...its so small we hav the squadron commander drillin the flight
according to E-Services my squadron has 14 active cadets....5-7 show up to meetings....we have a SSgt. as CC....an A1C as X.O.,,,and another SSgt. (me) as Flight Sgt. and guide-on when we get one
Yea I am the flight commander and im just a sgt. Its pretty wierd because next to me we have a staff sergeant and a bunch of airmen so we have a pretty bottom-heavy squadron and only 4 people have been to one encampment and ive been on staff at a encampment already as a flt. sgt. Also half the cadets are barely interested but we do have a really good few that help out so much.
Wow, this is my squadron, and that is half of the people that normally show up, but congrats all on being so cool and letting us know how awesome you are. peace out
Wow small squadron. Not Necessarily bad but you need to encourage recruitment more. We have about 60+ cadets and a whole bunch of civilians poured in. I talked with so many civilians that day lol.
looks like a small squadron, ours was small just like that, now we are at about 12 cadets, and still growing. good to see kids getting interested in something other than vid games.
It is called an L-per. It locates devices called ELTs located in an airplane that activate when the airplane crashes. The "find" was an practice ELT that we were using for training.
Just to let you know, they're now distributing Cessna 206's (six seater)... I'm from Squadron 904 in PA Wing, and we have a Maule 235 Super Rocket (4 seat) that we use for glider towing, and we also have a Cessna 182 Sky Lane and 2 Cessna 206 Super Sky Lanes... Pretty awesome stuff. I almost wish we had Cessna 172 Sky Hawk, because they're good for O-Flights. I flew 3 O-Flights in the Maule. A picture of it is in a slide show on my channel... check it out...

I really want to join but I want to know how hard is it? I don't know if I could do all the physical parts.
lamanesity 2 years ago
It's really not that physical. The only 'hardcore' thing about it is encampment, which isn't too bad. Encampment is like bootcamp but CAP style.
