Question..
After this cadet leaves for the Air Force Academy, are they considered active duty? Better question, can a USAFA Cadet remain a CAP cadet?
Yes, they can remain a cadet while at the Academy until they reach 21. I have a cadet in that very scenario right now.
For the purposes of CAP cadet membership, being a an academy cadet does not count as active duty. The cadet can continue to be a CAP cadet.
At least when I attended (very briefly ;D) USAFA, there was a squadron there.
Thats great. I appreciate it. The cadet talked to the Sq. last night about being appointed. In fact, about 1 year ago, the local newspaper did an article about our Sq. and had a photo of this same cadet where he mentioned that his goal was to attend the AF Academy.
I believe so, I remember hearing about cadets earning their Spaatz during their time at the Academy...
Scott (es_g0d), USAFA class of '97, has some good info about this:

I guess I'll join in. Two cadets from the Utica Cadet Squadron are going to the USAFA and the Naval Academy.
There is a very large CAP Squadron at the USAFA. Its mostly USAFA cadets and they are also CAP cadets
Heh. Just follow the link. :D
