Personal Statement:

The Civil Air Patrol is the best organization that a young person can be a part of.  Not only does it offer hands-on leadership training for today's youth, but the opportunities in the fields of Emergency Services and Aerospace Education are excellent.  Joining this organization is a great way to meet friends who are both motivated to succeed and enjoy similar things as you.

CAP was an integral part in my early success in life and the training that I have received along with the leadership experience that I've already had I'm sure will help me to be a successful Air Force Officer when I graduate from the Air Force Academy.  Take care Boulle-Norman Cadets and good luck wherever life takes you.  You have all been great friends to me.

Personal Statement:

It has been my experience that CAP is the greatest organization in the world. It gives young people a jump-start on leadership skills that they will use for that rest of their lives. It also gives the youth a look at the worlds of Emergency Services and Aerospace Education.

I have been involved in CAP for almost 5 years now and I have made some life long friendships.  I am also very greatfull to CAP for introducing me to Emergency Services as I now have a great passion for search and rescue. CAP has provided me with many ways to learn how to become a leader. The cadet program is a wonderful learning/teaching tool, so use it to your advantage.
