Cadet Serna Reporting for Duty!

Mig has talked about a military or police career for as long as he can remember! This August he started going to Civil Air Patrol. In September he became a full member and within the next month he should get his very first promotion! 

He has LOVED CAP from day 1! He even has a buddy that joined with him - Noah! 

On Noah's first night they got to tour the Denton Air Port and even climb into a Cessna!

This is about half of his squadron - they have about 50 cadets. They are the Nighthawks! 

Mig was SO excited when he finally got his ABUs! We had to take a picture right away! Soon he will get his dress blues as well!

I have really enjoyed watching Mig as he has jumped into CAP with both feet. He has started jogging daily, studied the manuals and really applied himself and he is loving every minute! 

If you are not familiar with Civil Air Patrol, here is more information from their website:

CAP is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves as the civilian auxiliary to the U.S. Air Force.   The Cadet Program is one of CAP's three missions.   As a CAP cadet, you will participate in a year-round program where you fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape and push yourself to new limits.   

The program transforms youth into dynamic citizens and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on four elements: leadership, aerospace, fitness and character.  

As you participate in these four elements, you advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way.   Many of the nation's astronauts, pilots, engineers and scientists first explored their careers through CAP.   The leadership skills, self-confidence and discipline you gain will prepare you to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself in life.  

If you’re between 12 and 18 years of age and dreaming about a career in aviation, space or the military, CAP’s Cadet Program is for you.
