Hello, my name is Jude Hemann. I am currently a Cadet Master Sergeant and a Flight Sergeant in the Scott Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, USAF Auxiliary, Scott AFB, IL. I joined Civil Air Patrol in January of 2017. Civil Air Patrol, or CAP, is a program for young men and women ages 12-21, to develop leadership skills through military disciplines, aerospace education, and emergency services. Disciplines include drill and ceremonies, physical fitness, and uniform inspections.

           Cadets in CAP go through the Air Force ranks starting as an Airman Basic. To gain ranks you have go through PT tests, aerospace tests, leadership tests, drill tests, and essay and speeches depending on your rank. My short term goal is to get to Cadet Chief Master Sergeant by the end of next year. I plan to make Cadet Colonel by the time I am a senior. I am proud to wear the USAF uniform both blues and utility uniform.

          CAP offers multiple weekend and meeting time activities including RC aircraft flying, model rocket building and launching, week-long year-round encampments, emergency services field training, search and rescue exercises, and orientation flights, where cadets get to fly in, learn about, and fly (co-pilot) a real Cessna airplane or glider.  In comparison to other youth organizations the participant cost is very reasonable which opens up the organization to more people. This low cost is due to the countless volunteer hours of senior member adults who lead our squadron.

          This fundraising drive will help us in supplying uniforms, learning materials, emergency services training and gear, model rockets, remote control planes, color and honor guard gear, and much more. Your donation could help our squadron grow in leaders, scientists, navigators, and pilots, for the strong future of America.

          Thank you for visiting this page and considering a donation to my squadron. You are supporting my squadron, my future, and the future of America.

               Semper Vigilans
