BCS/ATS

BCS is for new cadet members. The purpose of this school is to introduce cadets who have joined recently to the many facets of cadet life. You will learn and understand the responsibilities your asked to take on as a Civil Air Patrol cadet, the structure of the cadet programs, and the storied traditions of the Civil Air Patrol at large. By the end of the activity, you will have a working understanding of drill and ceremonies, proper wear of the uniform, the responsibilities of a cadet airman, and the discipline to take on greater challenges such as Encampment.

ATS is intended for cadets in the C/A1C to C/SrA range. Although, C/SSgt are encouraged to attend as well. At ATS,  the knowledge you have garnered at your home squadron and BCS will be further refined and expanded upon. Whereas BCS prepared new members to be cadets, ATS prepares Cadet Airman to be leaders in the cadet programs. The program emphasizes proficiency in drill and ceremonies, customs and courtesies, military discipline, and esprit de corps. You will be introduced to a variety of activities, meet new people, and have an understanding of what is required of you as a cadet airman in the Civil Air Patrol who strives for excellence.
