USAF HELPS FUND CAP ENCAMPMENT PROGRAMS

摘要

The U.S. Air Force will continue to help fund the Civil Air Patrol's popular weeklong encampment program for aviation-minded high school students. Nearly 7,200 cadet campers participated in the 2015 program, including about 1,000 cadets who were eligible for the economic assistance grants that helped cadets with tuition and uniforms. "The experiences the cadets had at the encampments-developing leadership skills, investigating aerospace sciences and career options, and solidifying their moral character-were life-altering events for these young Americans," said Gen. Mark A. Welsh Ⅲ, U.S. Air Force chief of staff.
