However, the military academies are interested in more than academics. They're also interested in leadership activities and sports. On the recommendation of a mom in my homeschool group whose daughter just graduated and was accepted to FOUR military academies, Landon and Dad checked out CAP. Landon loved it right away. In fact, his interest has changed from West Point to the Air Force Academy now.
This has been an expensive undertaking because we had to get lots of uniform stuff and gear for the many training and encampment activities.
Just one month after he joined, Landon was promoted to Cadet Airman. To be promoted, you have to pass written tests, physical training tests, and uniform inspections.
Here he is on promotion day!
Good job, Landon!

Wow - he is doing an excellent job! How much time is involved each week? Love that smile - bursting.
So glad you're blogging again. :)

Congratulations, Landon! I just finished reading The Old Schoolhouse Winter 2006/2007. I read every issue from cover to cover, so it takes me a while. On page 126 of that issue, there is an article entitled "Acta Non Verba". You should check it out if you haven't already read it.
We are so blessed that here the uniforms are free. Students donate their old uniforms. So, our cost for CAP has been minimal. Jared just had the PT test this week - which is the last thing he needed to promote. He's loving CAP too.
Wow, great job, Landon! I must admit to being partial to the AFA. :)
Congrats! He's a might fine looking gentleman in his uniform!
