Welcome to the home of the Syracuse Cadet Squadron!

Central New York Group will be participating in the Change of Command ceremony for the 174th Fighter Wing, New York Air National Guard. The change of command is taking place on 04 May 2008, from 1200-1530, at Hancock Field.

Cadets and senior members interested in participating should let 1st Lt Reed know as soon as possible. CAP will be tasked with seating dignitaries before the ceremony begins, and CAP will have a flight in the Wing formation during the ceremony.

It is a great honor to be considered part of the 174th FW family, and maximum participation is strongly encouraged.

Members of the Syracuse, Utica, and F.R. Sussey (Fulton) squadrons met at Highland Forest on 12-13 April for a wilderness and Emergency Services bivouac. Members participated in a variety of activities, including compass courses, basic survival skills, radio communications, and ground team tasks.

Cadets got to experience most of the seasons in the same weekend, as the weather rotated through sunny, rainy, and snowy.

Below are some pictures from the activity. Click a picture to enlarge it.

As a reminder, all members are required to complete the CAP Operations Security (OPSEC) training by March 31st. If you haven’t already completed the OPSEC training, you may do so online at:

If you have questions, see Maj Jones.

As a reminder, cadet airmen and NCOs now wear the rank insignia (chevrons) on both sides of their blues collar, just like they do on the BDUs. The mandatory wear date for this change was March 1st. The only cadets who wear the CAP cutout are C/ABs.

Please see your flight staff if you need another rank insignia.

Due to adverse weather conditions, the meeting tonight (Feb 27th) has been cancelled. We’ll see you next Wednesday, March 5th, in Blues.
