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! |
