Former Cadet Recounts Lessons Learned
Cody Beyer was a C/2dLt before he left our squadron to join the USAF in December of 2018. He was the guest speaker to a packed house of cadets and senior members at our squadron meeting on 7 Jan 2020. Cody reflected on his transition to the USAF and shared a list of things he benefited from in CAP and a list of things he wished he should have done.
Things I Benefited From
• Becoming aircrew qualified (18+)
• SAR Training/Aerospace Education
• Learning how to use a map/compass
• Teamwork/Leadership skills
• Mitchell Award (A1C)
• Military drill and Environment
• Familiarization with Aircraft
• The People
Things I Should’ve Done
• Taken Radio Classes to get familiar with radios
• Flight Line Marshalling
• Used all my O-Rides (only 3 out of 5)
• Powered/Unpowered Flight Academies
• Taken RPA classes/Getting RPA Qualified
• Backseat Rides
We appreciate Cody sharing these gems with the squadron members and thank him for his service to our country.
