1 CIVIL AIR PATROL 24 May 2006 Carroll Composite Squadron 1 Operating Instruction CADET PROMOTION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This Operating Instruction defines the process and procedures by which cadets at Carroll Composite Squadron are promoted in grade. 1. Introduction Promotions of all levels are intended to reward a cadet for demonstration of superior academic, physical, leadership, and professional characteristics and standards. A promotion also comes with a progressively higher level of authority and responsibility required from the cadet. In addition to completing the basic requirements of promotion, cadets must prove themselves ready for the increased position both in maturity and ability. This Operating Instruction will define the exact requirements, responsibilities, procedures and processes for earning cadet promotion at Carroll Composite Squadron. 2. Promotion Review Board a. Membership. The promotion review board will consist of the Cadet Commander, Cadet Deputy Commander, and Cadet First Sergeant. The Cadet Commander is typically the chairman of the review board. If a Cadet Deputy Commander is not assigned the flight commanders will alternate monthly service on the review boards. The promotion review board for the Cadet Commander or Cadet Deputy Commander will include either the Squadron Commander or the Deputy Commander for Cadets as chair. b. Frequency. Promotion review boards will be offered once a month, typically during the Blues meeting. A cadet wishing to be promoted must have satisfactorily completed his review board the month prior to the desired promotion night. c. Responsibility. The cadet seeking the promotion is responsible for signing up for a review board. A sign-in sheet will be available the night of promotion review boards for cadets to sign. It is the cadet s responsibility and no one else s to get their name on the sheet. d. Memorization. Cadets will be tested on their knowledge of Civil Air Patrol memorization (see Attachment 1). The exact items tested for each rank is on the reverse side of each promotion checklist. e. Discussion. The review board may use a portion of the promotion review board to discuss the cadet s performance to date, their reasons for seeking a promotion, and their opinion on specific issues relating to the squadron. The review board is also a time for cadets to voice opinions and ask questions to the review board members. 3. Requirements for Promotion. Cadets will meet all of the promotion requirements as required by CAPR 52-16, Cadet Program Management. A promotion checklist (see Attachment 2) is available for each grade level and must be completed in its entirety and turned into the Personnel Officer or their designee no later than the close of the meeting one week prior to the month s promotion ceremony. Cadets who turn in their checklist after this time will be promoted the following month. a. Time in Grade. The cadet will not receive a promotion to the next grade level until holding their current grade for a minimum of 60 days per achievement. NOTE: JROTC cadets have a truncated minimum time in grade as outlined by CAPR b. Leadership Test. The cadet will have passed the required Leadership test in accordance with their current achievement. Passing score for achievement tests is 70%. Milestone award examinations have a passing score of 80%. The number of attempts made to pass this test will not be taken into consideration for promotion. Tests will be administered on the regularly scheduled testing night; any exceptions will be previously arranged by the cadet directly with, and at the convenience of, the Testing Officer and with the approval of the Cadet Commander. c.

In order to receive credit for mentoring, the cadet must work with a junior cadet who has previously failed an Aerospace Education exam on the materials needed to pass the said exam. Mentoring sessions cannot be banked, and the cadet must be mentored on an Aerospace exam; Leadership and other subjects are not acceptable substitutes. It is up to the cadet seeking promotion to request a cadet to mentor from the Cadet Commander, who will assign them a cadet using the previous month s testing results. g. Aerospace Instructor. From the Earhart Award through the Eaker Award, a cadet must serve as an Aerospace Education Instructor at least once per achievement in order to receive a promotion. In order to receive credit as an instructor, the cadet must either personally teach or facilitate an instructor for the monthly Aerospace Education class to the squadron. Leadership presentations and other activities are not acceptable substitutes for credit. h. Moral Leadership. In order to be promoted to the next achievement, a cadet must attend a minimum of 50% of the squadron Moral Leadership sessions since their last achievement. For Milestone Awards there are specific requirements for cadets to serve as discussion leader and recorder, as outlined in CAPR All Moral Leadership attendance will be documented in the Moral Leadership notebook, kept by the Personnel Officer. Cadets who wish to act as discussion leader or recorder are required to put in a request to the cadet commander at least two weeks prior to the desired Moral Leadership session. i. Essays/Speeches. For certain achievements cadets are required to prepare and give speeches and essays on various leadership topics. The requirements are found on the appropriate promotion checklists. The Personnel Officer (or designee) will grade both essay and speech using the evaluation sheets found in CAPR Cadets will present the speech to the collective squadron cadet body, and turn their essay into the Personnel Officer. Cadets must allow the Personnel Officer a minimum of two weeks to read and grade their essay before signing off that it was satisfactory, and must coordinate in advance their availability to evaluate the speech. The Cadet Commander must also be given a minimum of two weeks notice about speeches so that he can put it on the schedule. If a cadet fails either event, they will be given feedback detailing what needs to improve in order to pass on the next attempt. f. Activity Participation. The cadet must have participated in at least one Civil Air Patrol activity during the previous two months, whether it is a squadron, group, wing, region, or national activity. As a cadet progresses in rank, increased participation is expected. g. Squadron Meeting Attendance. The cadet will have attended 6 out of the past 8 squadron meetings (75%) in order to be promoted to the next achievement. Exceptions for this rule may be made if a cadet is absent due to an official Civil Air Patrol function, such as a National Cadet Special Activity or encampment. h. Duty Performance. As aforementioned, all cadets wishing promotion will have performed in a manner becoming their current grade and showing potential and ability to take on the increased

3 CIVIL AIR PATROL 24 May 2006 Carroll Composite Squadron 3 Operating Instruction responsibility required by a promotion. The review board will determine if a cadet has behaved in such an exemplary manner. If a cadet is to be withheld promotion, they must first be counseled and allowed an opportunity to improve and ensure the senior leadership that they are ready for a promotion. i. Professional Appearance. The cadet will have passed an inspection for both Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) and Blues uniforms. The cadet commander, or designee, must sign-off that their appearance of dress is suitable for increased grade. j. OIC Recommendation. The cadet s OIC (Flight Commander, Cadet Commander, or NCO Instructor) must sign their checklist in confirmation that the cadet s performance has been satisfactory to merit a promotion. The Cadet Commander will have his/her checklist signed off by the Deputy Commander for Cadets or the Squadron Commander. 4. Promotion Responsibilities a. The Cadet. The cadet desiring a promotion is solely responsible for completing the promotion requirement, in addition to acting in a manner befitting their grade. The cadet is also responsible for studying and practicing in advance for all examinations. The cadet is solely responsible for requesting any and all information, exceptions, or clarifications of the promotion process. If a cadet fails any portion of the promotion requirements, they must wait until the next month s opportunity to retest. Cadets will not be allowed to test every week in the off chance that they will get lucky one week and pass. As a Civil Air Patrol cadet seeking higher grade, they must display the maturity and foresight to study in advance. b. Cadet Commander. The cadet commander is responsible for ensuring that every month s schedule includes at least one opportunity for a cadet to complete each promotion requirement. The cadet commander (and subordinate commanders in the chain of command) will also ascertain why certain cadets are not promoting and attempt to motivate them to progress. S/He will not, however, make any exceptions for a cadet who is not making an effort. 5. Promotion Ceremony a. Timing. The promotion ceremony is typically held during closing formation on the last meeting of the month; exceptions to this, usually due to weather or holidays, will be announced as needed. b. Uniform. Uniform for the promotion is characteristically Blues. Some promotion ceremonies will be held in BDUs (for example, if a cadet cannot attend the blues meeting). Promotions will not occur if a cadet s uniform is in a state of disarray and not suitable to represent Carroll Composite Squadron to the public. 6. Disagreements with this Policy. Any and all concerns with this policy or a decision made regarding a cadet s promotion status will be brought to the attention of the Cadet Commander and the Deputy Commander for Cadets by the cadet personally and not by proxy through family members or other members of the squadron. Cadets are required to submit concerns through their chain of command, unless the issue is of a sensitive nature, which would require the cadet to contact the Cadet Commander and the Deputy Commander for Cadets directly.
