Congradulations
Bravo Flight
I have recently joined the Civil Air Patrol at the Lebanon airport. In the past 4 weeks 6 others and I have started a 6 week basic training class. During the six week program we have been learning the basic drill movements, the different rankings of officers, customs and greetings, and the core values. In the upcoming 3 weeks we will be having a fitness test, taking a board of review, having a uniform inspection, and a leadership exam. When I decided to join the only thing I could think of was that this group would do is study to get your pilots license. After going to three of the six weeks I learned you have to gain more knowledge in many different fields to work towards achieving my goal of being a pilot. By Kristin Garcia These are the cadets who were promoted during the month of October. Hard work and dedication are the stepping stones to great achievements.

Upcoming Media Events

Within the next couple of months there will be a few more opportunities for everyone to meet with the media. There are a couple television stations that will be coming around as well as a couple radio station interviews. It is important to remember to come to all meetings prepared and dressed accordingly. When wearing your Blues uniform it is important that you make sure it is neatly ironed.
