CAP News-On-Line 7 July, 2009
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. – One hundred and eighteen teens from across the country will gain a comprehensive perspective on leadership, teamwork and problem-solving at Civil Air Patrol’s Cadet Officer School, one of the top professional development opportunities available to youth. The 10-day course will be held at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., July 13-23.
Patterned after the U.S. Air Force Squadron Officer School, Cadet Officer School is an academically challenging, in-depth study of leadership combining lectures, seminars and hands-on training. Instructors will guide cadets through the psychology of leadership and problem-solving techniques. They will practice what they learn through a series of writing and speaking assignments that will culminate with a group project that tests their ability to overcome obstacles through planning and teamwork.
The course will be conducted through the combined efforts of CAP members and Air Force active duty, reserve and Air National Guard personnel.
Attending from CTWG:
Cadet/2nd Lt. Daniel A. Patenaude of Manchester’s 169th.
Cadet/Capt. Ryan K. Chapman of Danbury’s 399th.
