Resources for New and Seasoned Cadets

New Cadets

1. Create an account in eServices and complete the Cadet Welcome Course.
   This link also includes basic first-year expectations and other FAQs.
   Be sure to ask the next cadet in your chain of command for help as well! Senior members are also happy to answer questions.

2. Uniforms are required, so take advantage of your Curry Uniform Voucher before it expires (45 days after you earn Achievement 1).

Additional help for new cadets/families

• CAPP 60-12 Parents Guide to the CAP Cadet Program

• Cadet Protection Basic Course (Cadets) is required of any cadet of age 18+.

Civil Air Patrol Websites

• CAP eServices is the members-only site that gives access to training, promotion/awards tracking, operations qualifications information, etc.

• gocivilairpatrol.com is the public site that contains all of the general information about CAP as well as publications.
  No login is needed, but it is important to know its distinction from eServices.

  • CAP National Publication Library has the most current revisions of Regulations, Pamphlets, and Manuals.

    • CAPP 151 Respect on Display (etc.)

  • National Cadet Library (guides, curriculum, fact sheets, etc. to help manage a cadet program)

Study Aids for Aerospace, Leadership, and Milestone Tests

• Granite Cadet Squadron (MD) - Leadership and Aerospace Study Aids. These include suggested reading schedules, fill-in-the-blank notes, audio files, videos, games, puzzles, and word searches. The material continues to be developed, so check back for updates.

• Texas Wing study guides. These have written guides as well as audio files of the modules.

• Milestone Preparation Google Quizzes and Quizlets (Wright, Mitchell, Earhart).

• Additional Billy Mitchell Milestone Test Prep

  • Mitchell Aerospace Prep Check. Studying this test is not equivalent to studying the material. The hope is that this will demonstrate areas of weakness so that cadets know what to study.

  • Mitchell Leadership Prep Check. See explanation above.

  • Billy Mitchell Leadership Test Quizlet (flash cards).
