Interested in Becoming a Cadet in Civil Air Patrol?
Come and visit with us at the Laconia Municipal Airport any Thursday night 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm!

Would you like to honor and serve America? Do you want to prepare for your future while making new friends? Then rise to the challenge of cadet membership in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol.

Cadets fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape, and push themselves to new limits. If you’re dreaming about a career in aviation, space, or the military, CAP’s Cadet Program is for you.

To become a cadet, you must be be at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old.  Cadets at Hawk Composite Squadron meets every Thursday evening, from 1830-2100 hrs (6:30-9:00 pm), and have the option of taking part in any of our regular weekend activities, which include marksmanship training, cadet orientation flights, first aid and CPR training, and much more. On top of that, our cadets also have opportunities to attend leadership encampments, career academies, and other activities during the summer.

I encourage you to take a moment to look through our site at the activities and training that our current cadets go through,  and visit the national webpage for our organization, so that you may learn about all of the possible opportunities that exist for you in our program. 

After reviewing everything, if you feel that you are up for the adventure and challenge of becoming a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol, please feel free to contact us and attend one of our squadron's bi-annual open-house meetings.
