Cadet Training Flight
Here at Los Alamitos Cadet Squadron 153 we run a Cadet Training Flight beginning in January (Class-01) and another beginning in August (Class-02), and unlike our standing flights, CTF only exists for approximately thirteen weeks. It's purpose is to get new cadets to their first promotion in a timely manner, foster teamwork and friendship among new cadets, and give all new cadets a uniform onboarding experience.
Note: If you are currently a CAP cadet coming to us from another squadron, but you have not yet promoted to C/Amn, you will be going through our CTF upon transfer into Squadron 153.

FAQ
What's my rank?
As a new cadet, you hold the rank of Cadet Airman Basic. As basic you do not yet wear any rank insignia, that comes with your first promotion to Cadet Airman and your first stripe.
Is there an abbreviation for Airman Basic?
You betcha! The abbreviation for Cadet Airman Basic is -- C/AB
What uniform should I wear during the three trail meetings, prior to paying the squadron dues?
As it's not fair to have you pay squadron dues and thus receive the blue ball cap, tan squadron tee shirt, and sand colored rigger's belt prior to actually joining, please do your best to come close to the mark (Alternate Uniform) without spending any additional money.
