LeadershipSpaatz CadetsThree of our cadets in the last ten years have received the General Carl A. Spaatz award and was promoted to the grade of cadet colonel (C/Col) in the Civil Air Patrol.This is the highest grade a cadet can earn. Cadets qualify for this award after devoting an average of five years to progress through 16 achievements in the CAP Cadet Program. They develop self-discipline, personal responsibility, the ability to lead and persuade and the foundation necessary for pursuing a career in aviation, space or technology. The final step a cadet must complete to earn the Spaatz Award is a four-part exam including a challenging physical fitness test, an essay exam testing their moral reasoning, a comprehensive written exam on leadership and a comprehensive written exam on aerospace education. |
