Civil Air Patrol || Fullerton Composite Squadron 56

As you should all recall, you have an assignment due July 27th. The assignment is to make a cheat-sheet for your BDU uniform from the CAPM 39-1. Please use the manual and not the sheet in your binder. However, feel free to talk to me or each other for ideas. If you have any questions, let me know.

Don’t forget that we have a new leadership manual: http://capmembers.com/cadet_programs/library/learn_to_lead.cfm. You will be using the first chapter of the first module. If you have your CAP ID card please go to https://www.capnhq.gov/ and activate your account.

You should all be beginning to understand what we expect from you PT wise. Throughout the week be exercising. If you need help coming up with a workout plan, let me know and I will help you with that.

Next week there will be no meeting! July 27th is our next meeting. We will be in BDUs. Use your cheat-sheet to help you prepare your uniform. Remember what I said about attention to detail. Look for bomb cords and iron your uniform. Also, please bring an aerospace current event to share at that meeting.

Charlie flight cadets, please download CAP Pamphlet 151 about customs and courtesies. As I said last Tuesdays, all cadets must be familiar with and perform all customs and courtesies . This booklet will help you to understand the when, how, and why of customs and courtesies.

NOTE: This post is a recap of the classes taught within Charlie Flight for the night of June 22nd.  It provides basic information of what was covered as well as listing tasks that Charlie Flight cadets are expected to accomplish prior to the next meeting.

Charlie flight had a class on promotions. To get your first promotion you need to take a Leadership chapter one test, a Cadet Physical Fitness Test (CPFT), a drill test, and a review board. Review boards and drill tests will be done on 4th and 1st Tuesdays. Leadership and aerospace tests are done on 3rd and 4th Tuesdays. Lastly, the CPFT will be held on 2nd Tuesdays before our meeting at Buena Park High School at 5:30 pm.

When you are taking a review board and are told to report in, you will follow this basic out line: “Sir/Ma’am Cadet (grade) (name) reporting as ordered.” You will salute to the the highest ranking person in the room. When you are finished with your review board you will stand up, salute the highest ranking person, when they salute you back you leave.

For first Tuesday of next month, please research an aerospace current event and prepare a presentation on it. Practice saluting and facing movements in front of a mirror. Next Tuesday we will be meeting at Camelot: http://www.golfland.com/anaheim/index.asp

Also, work on memorizing the following information:

Cadet oath: I pledge that I will serve faithfully in the Civil Air Patrol cadet programs, that I will attend meetings regularly, participate actively in unit activities, obey my officers, wear my uniform properly, and advance my education and training rapidly to prepare myself to be of service to my community state and nation

Cadet honor code: On my honor as a Civil Air Patrol cadet of the California Wing, I will not lie, cheat, steel, or commit any act of intentional dishonesty, or tolerate those who do.
