There is no more important priority than to encourage the education of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) members. Our first obligation as members is to mentor and develop the skills of other members who strive to ascend through CAP ranks. A vital part of any member's development includes: . Understanding leadership principles from both military and civilian sectors. . Appreciating the expectations senior leadership has of subordinate leaders. . Understanding the expectations subordinate members have of their leaders. . Understanding the history and development of the United States Air Force (USAF) and Civil Air Patrol (CAP). . Appreciating the level of commitment and responsibilities required of a CAP commander.
From squadron-level to National Headquarters, we are asked to know more, lead more, and be more responsive to our customers: the American public. They won't accept anything less than our best.
This is why development of CAP members is so important. We must provide our cadets and seniors who rise to the challenge a clear picture of our expectations of them, an opportunity to develop their skills, and our wholehearted support of their efforts. We do this through mentoring, training, and assistance in traditional and nontraditional areas.
