- When senior members (S/M) join CAP they meet
with the Professional Development Officer and the Deputy Commander for
Seniors to see what aspect of CAP they are interested in.
They are then matched up with a specialty track that they can excel
in. Like cadets, seniors advance
in grade as they complete training and fulfill the time requirement
set by National Headquarters. The Senior
Member Handbook is a useful resource for members wishing to advance
their CAP career.

- You Begin as a Senior Member. If you
are over the age of 21 have been in the program for six months,

If you are under the age of 21 you can obtain the grades of Flight
Officer, Technical Flight Officer, and Senior Flight Officer. Once
you turn 21 and have served six months as a Senior Flight Officer, your

Once a senior member joins the CAP
they are expected to take part in Level One training which informs members
about the organizations' history, missions, and purpose. Level One
also includes Cadet
Protection Policy Training (CPPT) which all members over the age of 18
must take before they may interact with minors.
After seniors become familiar with
the organization as whole they begin a specialty track. Each
specialty track has three ratings: technician, senior, and master.
The requirements for each rating depend on the specialty track the rating
is being earned in. Ratings are specific to specialty track and
cannot be carried over. Each specialty track has a study guide,
which provides staff duty position descriptions, governing regulations,
and advancement requirements.
