Phase 1 - The Learning Phase

Phase 1 - The Learning Phase

In this first phase, cadets learn what it takes to be successful in the Cadet Program and they learn to succeed in anything they try - hard work, self-discipline, motivation, and the self-esteem that comes from setting goals and overcoming obstacles - lessons that will be with them for the rest of their lives.

  • Know how to wear the uniform properly and with pride
  • Know Customs and Courtesies
  • Start to Learn Aerospace Science
  • Learn How to Follow and How to be a Member of a Team
  • Have Flown an Airplane (and maybe flown a glider, too.)
  • Learned Something about Cyber Security
  • Started Emergency Services
  • Gone to Encampment
  • Learned to Communicate
  • Developed a Sense of Personal Responsibility
  • Are Ready to Lead

... Are ready for Phase 2.
