CAPM 30-2 cIVIL ATR PATROL MANUAL THE CIVIL AIR PATROL CADET PROGRAM JUNE 1954 NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS CIVIL AIR PATROLCAP MANUAL NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS CIVIL AIR PATROL No. 30-2 Bo.inc AiR Force Base WASHINGTON, DC June 1954 Foreword The realization of an attractive, practical and attainable Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program is the goal of all individuals participat- ing in CAP. In line with this objective the Cadet program must always be “alive’—never lifeless, It must be flexible enough to fill the needs of Cadet Squadrons throughout the forty-eight states, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. This manual has been prepared keeping the above in mind and utilizing the suggestions and experiences of CAP members at all levels of the CAP organization—Squadron, Group, Wing, Region and National Headquarters. Successful completion of Phase 2, the National Examination and satisfactory attendance at one summer encampment at an Air Force base will qualify a CAP Cadet for the Certificate of Pro- ficiency, the highest CAP Cadet award. With adequate planning, the Commandant of Cadets will now be able to provide Cadets with the necessary background to achieve this Certificate and with worthwhile aviation experiences within a period of one and one-half years. Social activities—fun, the heritage of youth— have not been overlooked in this Cadet program and are inter- woven throughout all activities. The program belongs to you in CAP—Cadets and Seniors. Your comments and suggestions for improvement (sent through CAP channels) are always weleomed. By DIRECTION OF THE NATIONAL COMMANDER: OFFICIAL: MILLS S. SAVAGE Colonel, USAF Chief of Staff G. D.
