30. Common Questions
Will my child be obligated to join the military? No, CAP is the civilian auxiliary of the USAF and supports the Air Force through non-combat missions. No one in CAP is ever deployed or obligated to join the military.
Will I have to wear a uniform? Cadets must wear the blue Air Force style uniform. Officers may choose to wear any of the CAP authorized uniforms. There is no obligation to wear a uniform unless the member flies in a CAP aircraft or participates in a mission.
What is the time commitment? You do get out of CAP what you put into it. Most squadrons meet once a week; however, there are activities, training exercises and missions that enhance your experience with CAP. The more involved you are, the more you will enjoy your CAP membership!
