Common Questions.
Q:. I'm not a pilot. Can I still join?
A: Absolutely! CAP offers many avenues of volunteer service. Special skill sets are always needed including legal services, public relations, personnel and administration. Volunteers who serve the squadron through community outreach, media relations and administrative responsibilities are just as important as the crews that fly the airplanes.CAP's professional development program and emergency services operations afford non-pilots a plehtora of training opprotunities and duty positons.
Q: By joining CAP, do I become a member of the military?
A: No. While CAP is the official auxilliary of the U.S. Air Force and as such follows its military based customs, courtesies, and organizational structure, members are not military themselves and do not incur any type of military obligation.
Q: Are there membership dues?
A: Yes. A member's first year is covered by the fee sent in when they apply.
Annual national membership renewal is $35.00 for Cadets and $65.00 for Seniors Members.
There are no squadron dues for Cadets and $50.00 for Seniors.
