| e-Services |
e-Services is your internet link to National
Headquarters. Think of this as the main general database
for CAP.
It is extremely important that ALL
members establish an e-Services account and keep their contact
information current! This includes e-mail addresses, post office
addresses, telephone numbers, emergency contacts, etc. If we need
to get in touch with you for any reason other than for emergency
services missions, we use the information you provide here!
Cadets wishing to obtain a free
USAF-style dress blues uniform must use e-Services to do so!
Use the Member Search utility to ensure
that the record of your CAP achievements is up-to-date. Direct
any questions you might have up through your chain of command.

Cadet Uniforms
|
This
page presents helpful information to the parents and guardians of new
cadets about how to obtain the Air Force style dress blues uniforms and
BDU uniforms. The basic uniforms are usually available free of
charge depending on availability. In our squadron, most of the
rest, except for the shoes and combat boots, is covered as part of your
cadet's initial membership payment to CAP. |

Uniform Manual
(Cadets and Adults)
|
This links to the Regulations and Manuals page of the
national web site. Scroll down to locate the the CAP Uniform
Manual, which is number M39-1.
This manual fully describes all of the available uniforms and how and
when they may be worn.
You will notice that the Uniform Manual
can be downloaded in its entirety, or you can download smaller sections
by chapter. Don't forget to download and read the CAP/CC
Letters, which are changes to the manual!
Members can choose between USAF-style
uniforms or CAP distinctive uniforms (also called CAP corporate
uniforms). For adult officers, the choice is yours. Cadets
will wear the uniforms chosen by the unit's Cadet Programs
Officer. Adult members not meeting weight-and-grooming standards
must wear the CAP distinctive/corporate uniforms.
Your senior officers will gladly answer
any questions you have about uniforms. For new (and even for
experienced) members, the uniforms can be confusing. Talk to
us! We can help!

Perhaps the best source of custom ribbon racks in
existence. A little pricey, but the quality is unsurpassed! |
