Civil Air Patrol New Cadet CD
This collection was assembled to provide newly enrolled cadets essential information about the Civil Air Patrol, Cadet Program, Emergency Services, and other related topics. In this way, it is hoped they will “hit the ground running” toward a successful and rewarding experience.
To expedite making copies of this CD for distribution I have enclosed a program “Clone CD.” Once unzipped it can be used for 21 days without registration. After that, payment is required for continued use. CD-R discs can be purchased at electronic and office supply stores with rebates and coupons for as little as 10 cents apiece, making this project relatively inexpensive for any unit.
I have tried to include the most up to date and correct information available. Please contact me if you have any comments, corrections, or suggestions.
