Exciting news about the 2008 National Cadet Special Activities Review Boards
This is going to be a great year and we are off to a great start! As many of you already know, Civil Air Patrol’s National Cadet Special Activities offer cadets outstanding opportunities to spend a week or more exploring aerospace careers, developing leadership skills, and furthering their love of aviation. Over 30 activities will be offered across the nation this summer. Civil Air Patrol’s Ohio Wing’s Cadet Program Directorate will be conducting National Cadet Special Activities review board interviews in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, January 19, 2008, to determine Ohio cadets’ eligibility. (For more details concerning arrival and departure times, and deadlines, etc., please consult previous emails) As you might guess, competition for selection is high and only the best of the best cadets get an opportunity to attend these prestigious activities.
Captain Chris Metzger and I have assembled a cadre of judges to conduct the interviews. The goal this year is to assemble a cadre of judges that represent the opportunities showcased during NCSA. We appreciate all those CAP officers that have volunteered to serve as judges from our internal resources. We are excited to announce we are able to supplement our own internal officers with V.I.P. guest judges in an effort to achieve our goal of exploring aviation careers in a leadership laboratory. I am humbled that all of the V.I.P. guest judges agreed to assist us and render their services without cost; a testament to their support of Cadets, Ohio Wing and Civil Air Patrol.
What should cadets expect? During the panel interview session a minimum of three judges, with at least one active Ohio Wing CAP officer serving as panel chairman, will ask the candidates the same predetermined questions, and all panel members will score the answers based on how close they match the predetermined correct answer. This will allow a numerical score to be applied to each candidate to determine the rank order of scores. Questions will take four forms:
Ø Situational - how the Cadet would act in a given situation
Ø Behavioral - how the Cadet has acted in the past in given situations
Ø Activity-related - questions asked about past experiences to determine how well the Cadet will perform if selected for NCSA
Ø General Cadet Knowledge questions.
I have included a brief bio-sketch of our V.I.P. Guest judges below, with links for some, for more information, if you are interested. I am sure you will agree they all offer us a different perspective on aerospace careers and with a majority of them getting their starts as cadets.
