CAP, JROTC and ROTC Cadet Award Packages

The Air Force Association provides an award package consisting of a medal, ribbon and certificate to each Civil Air Patrol Squadron, JROTC unit and ROTC detachment each year for their outstanding cadet of the year.

This year, the process has changed slightly. For JROTC units and ROTC detachments, we have received data files from ROTC HQ. We will automatically send each an award package in the second half of January, 2010. We will also send a paper notice to each chapter affiliated with the zip code of the units and detachments. An e-mail will be sent to each state president and region president. In the case of a unit or detachment not having a chapter nearby, we will send the paper notice to the state president.

Civil Air Patrol Squadrons will still need to request an award package. They can do so by sending an e-mail to Lynette Cross at lcross@afa.org. The e-mail needs to have the name of the squadron and all the contact information of the requestor, including the address to which the award package is to be sent. AFA has worked closely with CAP HQ to have a notice sent to each squadron, telling them how to request an award package and asking that they do so in the December-January timeframe.

Please direct any questions about cadet award packages to Lynette Cross at lcross@afa.org or ext. 4807.
