The Air Force Association takes great pride in recognizing the outstanding achievements of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and AFJROTC cadets each year. Commanders are invited to submit requests in December or January by letter or email to Lynette Cross, Manager, National Aerospace Awards.

CAP Squadron commanders select one outstanding cadet of the year to receive the AFA Silver Medal, Ribbon and inscribed certificate. The AFA Medal will be shipped free of charge directly to the requesting CAP Squadron Commander.

AFJROTC Unit commanders are also eligible to select one outstanding cadet of the year to be the recipient of the AFA Bronze Medal, Ribbon and inscribed certificate. The AFA Medal will be shipped free of charge directly to the requesting AFJROTC Unit Commander.

Upon receipt of the package, Commanders should contact the President of the AFA Chapter in his or her local area and provide time, date and location where the AFA Medal presentation will take place. The AFA Chapter President and/or his or her designated representative will be in attendance to make the presentation.
