Cadet Safety

Youth Safety in Civil Air Patrol is a shared promise upheld across every squadron and wing. It is not the duty of one person or one regulation, but a united commitment carried by every member and reflected in every mission and every squadron meeting.

Great Aerospace Education Mentoring Opportunities

CAP pilots will fly teachers at their closest airport for a great flying experience to share with students. This exhilarating program includes a pre-flight briefing explaining the parts and purposes of the airplane -- then,  an actual airplane flight, with the teacher given the opportunity to take the controls in the front seat to connect aviation principles with school curriculum to share with students! Two teachers from Stonebridge Elementary participated in a flight September 2024.

Change of Command on September 14th

On September 14, 2026, Mobile Composite Squadron held a change of command ceremony in which Maj John Hoffman relinquished command to LtCol William Hill. Lt Col David McGonegal, Alabama Wing Deputy Commander, officiated the event and presented the guidon to symbolize the transfer of leadership and responsibility.

Cadet Advancement is Achievable

Cadets and Senior Members alike were inspired and proud on the promotion of C/2Lt Jebb Ladd. He is receiving the Billy Mitchell Award from Region 2 commander Maj George Yarchak. 

Red Cross CPR/AED-First Aid Hands On Training

On September 19, Mobile Composite Squadron members completed Red Cross CPR/AED–First Aid training. 2Lt Bud Hadley led the instruction and is shown here guiding a cadet through the CPR/AED portion of the course. This training provides valuable additional skills for both Senior Members and Cadets and is especially beneficial for ground team readiness.

Looking Sharp While Serving the Community

Members from the Mobile Composite Squadron, were on hand at the Brewton Municipal Airport Fly-In and Car Show on Saturday, April 18th, to introduce the public to Civil Air Patrol. 1st Lt Rob Taylor and Chaplain – Captain Phillip Williams ensured the aircraft was “show worthy” before they flew the Cessna 172 from it’s base of operations early that morning to attend the event. These events at local airports provide an opportunity for Civil Air Patrol to “make the public aware” of who we are as the Auxiliary of the US Air Force, and our three core missions of Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services. Several adults and children had the fortune to sit in the aircraft as the crew explained the controls and instruments.
