Prior to this new start, a leadership academy was conducted twice a week throughout this summer. Cadets were trained in advanced leadership skills, physical training and Text Box: aerospace education. Emphasis was given to proper wear of the uniform and drill and ceremony.

Hello every one, both old and new, and welcome to the new 801st News Letter!

I would like to say that we are truly soaring to success here in the 801st, and that we are getting there on the wings of each and every cadet and senior we have. Thank you for all the hard work and time each of you put into the program. CAP is only what you put into it.

A quick thought for the quarter:

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.
