Come Pay Us a Visit (but please follow these instructions)
We encourage you to visit our squadron meetings! Please come see
what we're all about. Meet the people and learn about Civil Air Patrol
and the Springfield Composite Squadron. Who knows, you might even decide
you want to join us! (We hope you do!)
That having been said, here's the complicated part of coming to see
us.... Please don't let this scare you off. Just follow the
instructions (they're easy, really) and your visit will be a breeze!
We meet every Wednesday from 6:30 PM until 9:00
PM at the Illinois Air National Guard Base, 3101 J. David Jones Parkway,
Springfield, Illinois. This is an active military base! Keep that in mind
at all times!
Before you become a card-carrying member of CAP, in order to
gain entrance to the base, you need to call or e-mail at least one day in advance
either:
and let us know:
- who is calling,
- that you are either a prospective adult officer member or
you are the parent or guardian of a prospective cadet,
- the date of the meeting you plan to attend,
- your (and your cadet's) full name including full middle
name
Be absolutely sure that when you arrive at the security
checkpoint, you have all of the following ready to present to the guard at the
gate, all of which must be current and not expired:
- your driver's license,
- your vehicle registration,
- your proof of automobile insurance for the automobile you
are driving
If you fail to call, you run the risk of being turned away from the base
by security personnel if they cannot find your name on the base entry list. Also be aware that the guards do perform random searches of vehicles and
occupants, and that the searches can occur either on the way into the base or
on the way out. If you have anything of even questionable legality in
your automobile, remove it before coming onto the base!
