Civil Air Patrol Membership Information
Wright Brothers Aerospace Composite Squadron 705 is looking for volunteers to join our organization. We need both Seniors and Cadets to enjoy the experience of helping to educate our youth and community and provide assistance to those in need of our services. Civil Air Patrol membership is voluntary and does not obligate you to join the Air Force. However, if you do elect to join and have achieved the Mitchell Award as a cadet, you are eligible to start out in the advanced pay grade of E-3 after completing Air Force Basic Training.
Senior Membership - Senior Members must be adults, 18 years of age or older. You do not need to be a pilot or even like to fly to be in Civil Air Patrol. CAP has ground teams and also positions in aircraft such as scanners and observers which do not require a pilot rating.
Cadet Membership - Cadet Members must be 12 years of age and have completed the fifth grade. The maximum age at which you can enter the cadet program is 18 years old.
How do I get information on CAP? - For information on how to join Civil Air Patrol or for other information about CAP, send an e-mail to mitchelj@dma.org. You can locate a squadron near you and get additional information at the National Headquarters membership page.
