An important aspect of the cadet oath specifies that a cadet will “wear my uniform properly”. Remember, how you wear your uniform is a reflection on you, the squadron and CAP.

If your uniform does not fit, please let the supply officer (SM Cook) know. Every effort will be made to correct the problem.

Of primary importance are uniform items that are too small for the wearer. If your trousers, blouse, service jacket, or cover fall in this category, you are directed not to wear them. Return them to supply. If we have a replacement, you will receive it.

Cadet Staff Handbook - 2022

We’ve made a few revisions to the Cadet Staff Handbook and have some minor news to share. The handbook remains your source for information about leadership feedback meetings, staff design principles, job descriptions, organizational charts, and more. In fact, roughly 95% of the content from the popular 2012 edition has not changed. What’s different is:

-    the publication is now designated CAPP 60-31 (vs. CAPP 52-15, previously)
-    section 2.4, on planning squadron meetings, now centers upon the optional Squadron Weekly Meeting Planner
-    the cadet deputy commander and executive officer titles are updated to more closely follow current USAF terminology
-    references to cadet publications like CAPR 52-16 and Form 50s, use the new numerical designations for those documents

There are two main reasons for our making these changes. First, our hard copy inventory was close to zero, and when we reprint, we buy a year’s supply, so the economics affects the timing. Second, because a publication reengineering project is underway CAP-wide, the handbook’s pamphlet number would have to change soon, so it made sense to take care of that now.
