Recruiting Materials

We do have high standards, but in my opinion (and talking here as a former cadet), CAP is definitely a place to improve. Cadets become more confident and better people and even learn how to become leaders in a structured program. Seniors can develop many skills from organizational and leadership to even basic survival skills. As a pilot, I just underwent a biennial flight review with a CAP instructor pilot--let me just say I haven't had such great instruction even when I was first learning to fly.

So we may have high standards, but they are there so members can reach up to them and fulfill their own individual potentials--standards are not there to measure recruits by.

And I never in any way said we should skew the truth about who we are and what we do. However, I stand by what I said that people need to be motivated and encouraged in a positive manner to join.
