By Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP Kingsville, Texas— Cadets of the Corpus Christi Comp Squadron’s latest project, the BRAHMA CADET FLIGHT, in Kingsville, Texas began training its first elements of its cadet program at Memorial Middle School in Kingsville, Texas. Major J.E. Carrales has been an employee of that facility for 9 years and recently took the plunge to form a unit there. Initial exploratory meetings seemed favorable for the formation of a small unit.
“To date four have joined,” said Major Carrales Corpus Christi Squadron Commander, “I’m holding out for about six if all goes well.”
Cadets began study of their materials and Major Carrales began the process of locating, collecting and issuing uniforms. These will be in place until the cadets can obtain a uniform via the FREE UNIFORM PROGRAM from AAFES. Additionally, Lt Col Eddy Billman of Group V is slated to provide additional support in the way of uniforms.
The First Official meeting was documented in this Almanac’s last issue (26 March 2006) where cadets were instructed in an initial Leadership Lesson based on Chapter 1 of the Leadership curriculum and brainstormed activities for April and May.
On Tuesday 29 March 2007 cadets practiced Drill and Ceremonies and had a moral leadership forum based on the“GROUND SCHOOL” materials and will continue this at upcoming meetings by making a “Flight Log Book” to record their entries as per the CAP Core Values
Meetings will be on Tuesdays from 1605-1700 hrs and Thursdays from 1605-1930.
