Aerospace education is one of the three missions of Civil Air Patrol, and is an
integral part of the cadet program. Aerospace education is a prerequisite to promotion and to getting your
General Billy Mitchell award and Cadet officer status. There are many activities that support Aerospace Education
such as National Glider Encampment and model rocketry bivouacs. Aerospace education classes are taken every meeting
and normally last about 10 minutes. Also, to promote, cadet's have to take an Aerospace test and pass
with a 75% to promote to the next grade.
