Senior Staff

Senior Members volunteer to take on any number of positions withing the squadron and as they advance, they may also take on positions of responsibility in the Group, Wing, or National level.  When an adult joins CAP, there are a multitude of required and optional training opportunities.  The degree of participation is up to the individual member but the time, effort, and expertise of our senior members is critical to the success of the Civil Air Patrol.

Senior Member Specialty Tracks

For senior members in CAP, there are several specialty tracks to focus your training based on your interests.  Senior Members are able to pick up to five specialty tracks and begin training and working with a mentor in the squadron.  These specialty tracks align with specific duty assignments (or jobs) at the squadron level and have three different levels of expertise: technician, master, and senior level.  Specialty tracks are flexible and can be changed at any time.  

Most specialty tracks follow of  “on-the-job” training concept utilizing specialty track study guides available on the CAP National HQ Website.
