Civil Air Patrol Sierra Composite Squadron 72

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a Congressionally chartered, federally supported, non-​profit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF).
CAP is a volunteer organization with an aviation-​minded membership that includes people from all backgrounds, lifestyles, and occupations. It performs three congressionally assigned key missions: Emergency Services, which includes search and rescue (by air and ground) and disaster relief operations; Aerospace Education for youth and the general public; and lastly, the Cadet Programs which are geared up for the teenage youth, ages 12 to 20.
If you have some free time and are looking for something positive to do in your community, I highly recommend logging into the CAP’s national website and finding a squadron near you. You’ll be glad you did.
