Yakima Composite Squadron, Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary Cadet program for ages 12-18. Yakima Composite Squadron meets Mondays at 5:45pm. Air Force.

CAP is a volunteer, non-profit organization that also serves as the civilian auxiliary to the U.S. Our three missions are to develop youth through a cadet program, educate Americans on the importance of aviation and space, and perform live-saving humanitarian missions. The program accepts new cadets who are at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old. It is a year-round program with weekly meetings at a local CAP squadron and additional activities on weekends or during the summer. CAP is not a military or boarding school, but a youth development program that incorporates aviation and military customs and courtesies. Through their experiences as CAP cadets, young people develop into responsible citizens and become tomorrow's aerospace leaders. The leadership skills, self-confidence, and discipline cadets gain through CAP prepares them to achieve whatever goals they set for themselves in life. To fulfill its goal of developing young people into responsible citizens and aerospace leaders, the Cadet Program is developed around five program elements: Leadership, Character Development, Aerospace Education, Physical Fitness, and Activities. As cadets participate in these five elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way.

This past October, officers from Yakima Composite Squadron attended a memorial service for CAP Captain Dennis Teeter, who was a former member of Yakima Composite Squadron. Capt. Teeter was a veteran who served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He was also a member of CAP for many years before and after his military service. We salute him for his service to our country and our program and wish the best for his family.

Cadets Alanis, Cumpston, Smith, and Weishaar joined one of our pilots for some orientation flights, also known as "O-Rides."

As a CAP cadet under the age of 18, you get five free front-seat O-Rides, which are great opportunities to practice handling a small aircraft under the supervision of an experienced pilot.
