General Information
Group VI is hosting an Airman Leadership School (ALS) for North Texas 11-13 September 2026 at Fort Wolters, Mineral Wells. The primary purpose of ALS is to teach cadets leadership skills, drill, customs and courtesies, and to embrace the core values. ALS gives exposure to many things Civil Air Patrol has to offer as most of the time it is a cadet’s first activity outside the local squadron. It also prepares students and staff for activities like Encampment and beyond. Training (for students) is geared toward Cadet Airman Basics through Cadet Staff Sergeants (at the time of application) that have not previously attended an ALS or Encampment.
Cost:
$70.00 for Cadet Students includes all meals, lodging, a t-shirt and items awarded upon graduation
$45.00 for Cadet Cadre
$20.00 for Senior Member Staff
Staff Information
This is also an opportunity to improve proficiency and training of Cadet Cadre and Senior Member Mentors. This event will provide cadets and senior members an opportunity to network with other CAP members across the area. Cadet Cadre applicants are highly encouraged to have attended ALS, CTEP and/or Encampment as a student and be Cadet Staff Sergeants or above. The staff opportunity is focused on members in Groups VI and III. Cadets and senior members from other groups and wings may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
