Airman Training School (ATS)

Airman Training School (ATS)

Airman Training School (ATS) is for new CAP cadets.  Generally students are between C/AB (not yet promoted) and C/SrA (the third promotion) in the cadet program who have not attended Encampment.  No prior CAP experience is required, and at ATS, you'll learn what it means to be a cadet, all while getting to know fellow airmen from around the state!  A set of ABUs is required, patches are optional if delayed from Vanguard..  You'll learn basic drill, starting from scratch, and by the end of the weekend you'll be familiar with CAP's customs and courtesies.  Besides doing cool exclusive activities at Camp Ripley normally only available to military members, you'll also become familiar with all the other cool opportunities Civil Air Patrol has to offer cadets (and you'll have great resources to help you understand how to take advantage of those too!). 

A further bonus is that students who attend ATS will graduate the weekend having completed most, if not all, the requirements for their next promotion. 

This course is open to any CAP cadet who has not completed an encampment.  There is no minimum grade.
