New Cadets Start the First Tuesday of Each Month

New cadets join Squadron 144 in a monthly cohort that starts on the first Tuesday of each month. New cadets and their parents go through the program introduction together and get to know one another from the first night.

Who can join. Young people ages 12 through 18 can join the Cadet Program, and cadets may remain in the program until age 21. Adults 18 and older can also join Civil Air Patrol as senior members and are welcome to visit.

Three visits before joining. Prospective cadets attend three meetings before officially joining, and a parent or guardian attends all three visits with them. The visits do not need to be back to back, but all three must take place within 30 days of the first visit.

What to wear. No uniform is needed. Neat civilian clothing is perfect: jeans or khakis, a polo or T-shirt, and closed-toe shoes. On physical training (PT) nights, wear athletic clothing and closed-toe athletic shoes. The calendar page on this website shows which Tuesdays are PT nights.

To start with the next cohort, contact Maj. Delgado at rafael.delgado.3@cawgcap.org or (619) 992-2335 before your first visit.
