Thank you for your support; don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Toodles!
Thanks for making these videos! They've been super helpful for our squadron as we don't have a lot of experienced members right now.
Thank you! Are there any topics you think your members might be interested in that haven't been covered?
@@Redberryweo I'd have to take a better look at your video list first. I've mostly just been searching for topics as we cover them at meetings, and posting links to our Facebook page.
Good information! Great job. Couple suggestions:
1) I did not notice it mentioned that a cadet sponsor needs to be the parent/grandparent/guardian of a cadet.
2) Many types of membership were mentioned, but the Aerospace Education Membership (AEM) program for educators is a unique opportunity - maybe can be included in a next video!
Thanks (I am Director of RR for MN Wing)
I was thinking of doing an overview for additional membership opportunities, so I will take your suggestions under consideration! Additionally, I have made a note of the cadet sponsor member requirement in the video description. While I thought I mentioned it, it seems I did not! Thank you so much!
I appreciate this video, as I’m joining as a Senior Member
Great! Glad you are joining! If you have any questions about getting your Level 1 done or being assigned to a specialty track, please feel free to reach out!
I have been officially invited to attend my first CAP meeting (SM) on February 1. I am looking forward to it, but I have a question....as a senior member, what is the difference in duties or responsibilities between an officer senior member or an NCO senior member? Keep up the great work in providing this material! - Phil
Great! I hope your first meeting goes well! The difference between senior member officer and NCO is that the NCO side requires prior or current military service as an NCO. NCOs typically serve as advisors on the different echelons given their service experience, and they wear insignia on the shoulder instead of the collar on ABUs and shoulder on AF-style blues. Most members join through the officer side. Specialty tracks and the professional development (called Education & Training in CAP) are the same between officer and NCO.
Happy to help!
Love the videos, I’m seriously considering reading the learn to lead books on you tube for Auditory learners.
Good Information. I recently reached out to my local CAP unit for more information.
Great! If I can help answer questions or put you in touch with a unit, please feel free to email me!
Great video
Love the video, i recently became a full senior member last year with my squadron. I got promoted to flight officer cause i was 18 when i transitioned from cadet to senior. I think its really cool so far. Still trying to navigate on what i gotta do during the meetings im going into the ES part of it but havent really been given any assignments yet if that makes any sense lol. Amd congrats on getting spaatz thats so cool 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, @Tanya Guido! I've made a few ES videos which might help, and there is a video on specialty tracks. First, I recommend you look at the ES Specialty Track guide and ask your squadron's professional development officer to add you to an ES officer (or assistant) duty position in addition to the ES specialty track.
@@Redberryweo ok yes i will thank you so much and I've seen the specialty track video you made. It was really helpful thank you
Get through your LVL 1 first! LVL 2 will focus on your speciality track. Also, customs and courtesies, history of CAP and USAF, legal, cadet protection, so on and so forth.
@@ronaldrobertson2332 yes i did get my level one already early on when i first became a senior i completeed the cadet protection already and did my SLS meeting too.
NAVY & COAST GUARD . Ensign 0-1 , 0-2 Lieutenant Junior Grade, O-3 Lieutenant, 04 - Lieutenant Commander, O-5 Commander, O-6 Captain.
I was going to write that out, but it looks like you beat me to it. I’ll cover flag officers anyway.
O-7: Rear Admiral, Lower Half (1 star)
O-8: Rear Admiral, Upper Half (2 stars)
O-9: Vice Admiral (3 stars)
O-10: Admiral (4 stars)
A five-star grade, Fleet Admiral, is authorized by Congress, but no person in the Navy or any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States currently holds a five-star grade. Equivalents include General of the Army and General of the Air Force.
Great job & thank you very much!
No problem!
I appreciate this so much! I'm 18 and wish I could have joined sooner ♡
I think you will enjoy the senior member side, especially picking your specialty tracks!
Welcome aboard!
Can you become a senior member if you haven’t been active military yet?
Couple of pointers Captain, senior NCO’s are required to have good military standing at at least E-4 leadership level for eligibility for E-5 Staff Sergeant appointments within CAP. And a Navy/CG Ensign would be equivalent to a 2LT LOL
Former cadet Chief considering rejoining as a SM. Thank you!
If I can help you out in any way, please feel free to reach out over email!
Now what if you where a Cadet Captain in JROTC and joined as a senior member?
Unfortunately, JROTC experience does not translate into the senior member program. If you have documentation of obtaining Cadet Captain, you could try asking for equivalent credit to a Cadet Captain in CAP, but I haven’t seen anything in regs that would allow that. You can check CAPR 35-5, but I didn’t see anything about JROTC there.
I have my first meeting tonight at KRIF
Hope it went well!
Could you make a video talking about the proper way to wearing your SM ribbons (I have 4 ribbons so far)
I would like to make a video on SM and cadet achievement ribbons! I just need to gather the materials for it.
As a former air force nco and cap senior member are there any units in the NYC area?as air transportation crafts man?
There are several units that you could take a look at to see which unit may best support what you are looking for. My recommendation would be to use the unit locator tool on the gocivilairpatrol website! You can also check to see if there is information on their websites and social media sites.
How does one go about the process to become an NCO instead of an officer without being a prior NCO
Currently, members can only become NCOs if they have prior or current experience as an NCO. I believe NHQ will take steps on making the NCO path available to all members in the future, similar to the officer track, but it may take some time.
Next video "CAP pre and Post Covid" 🤣
I'm looking for a squadron close to the Blacksburg, VA airport. Do you have any suggestions?
If you are interested in joining the unit there, I can help put you in touch with the unit leadership! Just send me a quick email (available in the contact tab on my channel page), and we can go from there!
Can someone like me (college student) who’s planning on going into a geography or archaeology occupation join CAP? Both paths are more specific in scope than other occupations, and I still want to find a position that fits one or both of my paths.
CAP is a volunteer organization, and there aren’t any requirements on what career or academic background you come from. The historian specialty track may be of interest to you if you want to blend CAP with learning about the past. There is also aircrew and emergency services, where you can do land navigation or fly in a plane to support missions.
Quick question: I ordered tactical shirt. Regulations say it should be blue. It looks blue on Vanguard website, but shirt arrived is black. Not dark navy, but black. Do you have any guidance on this?
It might be the material for the shirt. I believe the non-tactical golf shirt looks bluer, but it's a thicker material. Unfortunately, I think all tactical golf shirts are currently being manufactured the same way and have the same color as what you received. The only advice I can give is that you could contact Vanguard and see if they can do anything about it, but there might not be anything.
@@Redberryweo Ok. Thank you. I just wanted to double check. Greatly appreciate it!
Are people who were never in the service eligible for any of these positions? Sounds very interesting. Thank you in advance.
Yes! To become a member of Civil Air Patrol, no prior service is required! Currently, the only thing that requires current or previous service is if one wants to become an NCO in the program.
@@Redberryweo Interesting. Can a non-military senior member aspire to be a commissioned officer one day? Thank you again. Great videos!
@@Applecompuser After being a member for 6 months and completing the onboarding training, you would promote to 2d Lt, CAP. Civil Air Patrol aligns with the same grades as the US Air Force, such as the use of Captain and Major. For each promotion, there are increasing responsibilities, in addition to training and duty position requirements.
Hey I am a social worker and I want to be a senior member do you think I can come in as an officer?
Yes! You can join as a senior member, and you can become a 2d Lt as early as 6 months after joining.
I think lieutenant JG is just fun to say.
CAP rank equivalent is first lieutenant or 1LT.
Ronald Robertson yes
Do you have to be prior service to join cap as an adult?
No, you do not need to have prior service to be a senior member (an adult member) in Civil Air Patrol. At this time, only the NCO program requires prior service.
What's a cadet sponsor??? I don't remember those????
A cadet sponsor member is a parent or guardian of a cadet who is allowed to serve as a second adult at activities and drive CAP vehicles if they have an approved CAP driver's license.
Wait so you can choose NCO or CO an a new senior member?
That is correct!
There are additional special memberships for being a senior member, which I will be making a video on soon.
We are Commissioned Officers as Senior Members . You can serve as a Cadet up until you're 21 and have to transition over. People who have served in the Armed Forces can keep the Rank they left out as wich is pointless because a Commissioned Officer outranks Enlisted.
Iv been interested in joining as a senior for about 15 years now. How can I join?
The first step would be to see where the closest unit is using the CAP unit locator, which is on the gocivilairpatrol website. Then you will find contact information for the unit, and you may reach out to them. To join, you will have a unit membership board, 2 fingerprint cards to complete and send in with your application packet, and verification of identity with the unit commander or personnel officer. As a prospective senior, there is not a minimum number of meetings to attend to join. Prospective cadets must attend at least three meetings before they can join.
How about cybersecurity/IT as an adult?
Yes, there is a specialty track for IT! Most of the IT within CAP is done on the wing level, but there are some local unit tasks that can be done.
You can also serve as a technical mentor for a CAP CyberPatriot team.
Can I join as a current highschool senior?
Yes! You can join at any age. To join as a cadet, members must be between 12-18.
Are there monthly dues as an adult member?
No, they are annual dues as an adult member, which CAP refers to as senior members. The due amount varies between states, but it’s averaged at around $50.
what is your email as you said it rather fast on the video?
TH-cam marks comments with my email typed fully as spam, but I will type it out in pieces here: redberryweobusiness at gmail
