CADET PROMOTION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Operating Instruction defines the process and procedures by which cadets at Carroll Composite Squadron are
promoted in grade.
1.
Introduction
Promotions of all levels are intended to reward a cadet for demonstration of superior academic, physical, leadership,
and professional characteristics and standards. A promotion also comes with a progressively higher level of
authority and responsibility required from the cadet. In addition to completing the basic requirements of promotion,
cadets must prove themselves ready for the increased position both in maturity and ability. This Operating
Instruction will define the exact requirements, responsibilities, procedures and processes for earning cadet
promotion at Carroll Composite Squadron.
2.
Promotion Review Board
a. Membership. The promotion review board will consist of the Cadet Commander, Cadet Deputy
Commander, and Cadet First Sergeant. The Cadet Commander is typically the chairman of the review
board. If a Cadet Deputy Commander is not assigned the flight commanders will alternate monthly service
on the review boards. The promotion review board for the Cadet Commander or Cadet Deputy Commander
will include either the Squadron Commander or the Deputy Commander for Cadets as chair.
b.
Frequency.
Promotion review boards will be offered once a month, typically during the Blues
meeting. A cadet wishing to be promoted must have satisfactorily completed his review board the month
prior to the desired promotion night.
c. Responsibility. The cadet seeking the promotion is responsible for signing up for a review board. A
sign-in sheet will be available the night of promotion review boards for cadets to sign. It is the cadet’s
responsibility and no one else’s to get their name on the sheet.
d. Memorization. Cadets will be tested on their knowledge of Civil Air Patrol memorization (see
Attachment 1). The exact items tested for each rank is on the reverse side of each promotion checklist.
e.
Discussion.
The review board may use a portion of the promotion review board to discuss the
cadet’s performance to date, their reasons for seeking a promotion, and their opinion on specific issues
relating to the squadron. The review board is also a time for cadets to voice opinions and ask questions to
the review board members.
3.
Requirements for Promotion. Cadets will meet all of the promotion requirements as required by CAPR
52-16, Cadet Program Management. A promotion checklist (see Attachment 2) is available for each grade
level and must be completed in its entirety and turned into the Personnel Officer or their designee no later
than the close of the meeting one week prior to the month’s promotion ceremony. Cadets who turn in their
checklist after this time will be promoted the following month.
a.
Time in Grade. The cadet will not receive a promotion to the next grade level until holding their
current grade for a minimum of 60 days per achievement. NOTE: JROTC cadets have a truncated
minimum time in grade as outlined by CAPR 52-16.
b.
Leadership Test. The cadet will have passed the required Leadership test in accordance with
their current achievement. Passing score for achievement tests is 70%. Milestone award examinations have
a passing score of 80%. The number of attempts made to pass this test will not be taken into consideration
for promotion. Tests will be administered on the regularly scheduled testing night; any exceptions will be
previously arranged by the cadet directly with, and at the convenience of, the Testing Officer and with the
approval of the Cadet Commander.
c.
Aerospace Test.
The cadet will have passed the Aerospace Education test required by their
achievement. Passing score is 70% or higher. The number of attempts made to pass this test will not be
taken into consideration for promotion. Tests will be administered on the regularly scheduled testing night;

any exceptions will be previously arranged by the cadet directly with, and at the convenience of, the
Testing Officer and with the approval of the Cadet Commander.
d.
Staff Duty Analysis (SDA).
Applicable only to officers, cadets must complete an SDA for
every achievement, as described in CAPP 52-14. The Cadet Commander will review SDAs and sign off on
them. The DCC or Personnel Officer will review the C/CC’s SDAs for promotion. In addition, Staff
Service Requirements must be met for Phase III and Phase IV as described in CAPP 52-14; cadets will
submit the required documentation memorandum to the Cadet Commander for review along with obtaining
the signature of the senior to whom they were apprenticed.
e.
Cadet Physical Fitness Test.
The cadet must satisfactorily pass the CPFT with at least the
minimum score detailed in CAPR 52-18. The number of attempts made to pass this test will not be taken
into consideration for promotion. The CPFT will be offered once each month. Cadets are expected to be
prepared to take the CPFT. Per CAPR 52-18; the CPFT must be taken in its entirety within one hour from
the start time. Cadets will test monthly in all four events; although they only need to pass two out of three
plus either of the running portions. Cadets with excused absences on the night of the CPFT may arrange a
make up testing directly with, and at the convenience of, the Deputy Commander of Cadets and with the
approval of the Cadet Commander.
f.
Aerospace Mentor. From Achievement 8 through the Earhart Award a cadet must serve as an
Aerospace Education Mentor at least once per achievement in order to receive a promotion. In order to
receive credit for mentoring, the cadet must work with a junior cadet who has previously failed an
Aerospace Education exam on the materials needed to pass the said exam. Mentoring sessions cannot be
banked, and the cadet must be mentored on an Aerospace exam; Leadership and other subjects are not
acceptable substitutes. It is up to the cadet seeking promotion to request a cadet to mentor from the Cadet
Commander, who will assign them a cadet using the previous month’s testing results.
g.
Aerospace Instructor. From the Earhart Award through the Eaker Award, a cadet must serve as
an Aerospace Education Instructor at least once per achievement in order to receive a promotion. In order
to receive credit as an instructor, the cadet must either personally teach or facilitate an instructor for the
monthly Aerospace Education class to the squadron. Leadership presentations and other activities are not
acceptable substitutes for credit.
h.
Moral Leadership. In order to be promoted to the next achievement, a cadet must attend a
minimum of 50% of the squadron Moral Leadership sessions since their last achievement. For Milestone
Awards there are specific requirements for cadets to serve as discussion leader and recorder, as outlined in
CAPR 52-16. All Moral Leadership attendance will be documented in the Moral Leadership notebook,
kept by the Personnel Officer. Cadets who wish to act as discussion leader or recorder are required to put in
a request to the cadet commander at least two weeks prior to the desired Moral Leadership session.
i.
Essays/Speeches. For certain achievements cadets are required to prepare and give speeches and
essays on various leadership topics. The requirements are found on the appropriate promotion checklists.
The Personnel Officer (or designee) will grade both essay and speech using the evaluation sheets found in
CAPR 52-16. Cadets will present the speech to the collective squadron cadet body, and turn their essay into
the Personnel Officer. Cadets must allow the Personnel Officer a minimum of two weeks to read and grade
their essay before signing off that it was satisfactory, and must coordinate in advance their availability to
evaluate the speech. The Cadet Commander must also be given a minimum of two weeks’ notice about
speeches so that he can put it on the schedule. If a cadet fails either event, they will be given feedback
detailing what needs to improve in order to pass on the next attempt.
f.
Activity Participation. The cadet must have participated in at least one Civil Air Patrol activity
during the previous two months, whether it is a squadron, group, wing, region, or national activity. As a
cadet progresses in rank, increased participation is expected.
g.
Squadron Meeting Attendance.
The cadet will have attended 6 out of the past 8 squadron
meetings (75%) in order to be promoted to the next achievement. Exceptions for this rule may be made if a
cadet is absent due to an official Civil Air Patrol function, such as a National Cadet Special Activity or
encampment.
h.
Duty Performance. As aforementioned, all cadets wishing promotion will have performed in a
manner becoming their current grade and showing potential and ability to take on the increased
CIVIL AIR PATROL
Carroll Composite Squadron
Operating Instruction

responsibility required by a promotion. The review board will determine if a cadet has behaved in such an
exemplary manner. If a cadet is to be withheld promotion, they must first be counseled and allowed an
opportunity to improve and ensure the senior leadership that they are ready for a promotion.
i.
Professional Appearance.
The cadet will have passed an inspection for both Battle Dress
Uniforms (BDUs) and Blues uniforms. The cadet commander, or designee, must sign-off that their
appearance of dress is suitable for increased grade.
j.
OIC Recommendation.
The cadet’s OIC (Flight Commander, Cadet Commander, or NCO
Instructor) must sign their checklist in confirmation that the cadet’s performance has been satisfactory to
merit a promotion. The Cadet Commander will have his/her checklist signed off by the Deputy
Commander for Cadets or the Squadron Commander.
4.
Promotion Responsibilities
a.
The Cadet. The cadet desiring a promotion is solely responsible for completing the promotion
requirement, in addition to acting in a manner befitting their grade. The cadet is also responsible for
studying and practicing in advance for all examinations. The cadet is solely responsible for requesting any
and all information, exceptions, or clarifications of the promotion process. If a cadet fails any portion of
the promotion requirements, they must wait until the next month’s opportunity to retest. Cadets will not be
allowed to test every week in the off chance that they will get lucky one week and pass. As a Civil Air
Patrol cadet seeking higher grade, they must display the maturity and foresight to study in advance.
b.
Cadet Commander.
The cadet commander is responsible for ensuring that every month’s
schedule includes at least one opportunity for a cadet to complete each promotion requirement. The cadet
commander (and subordinate commanders in the chain of command) will also ascertain why certain cadets
are not promoting and attempt to motivate them to progress. S/He will not, however, make any exceptions
for a cadet who is not making an effort.
5.
Promotion Ceremony
a.
Timing. The promotion ceremony is typically held during closing formation on the last meeting
of the month; exceptions to this, usually due to weather or holidays, will be announced as needed.
b.
Uniform. Uniform for the promotion is characteristically Blues. Some promotion ceremonies
will be held in BDUs (for example, if a cadet cannot attend the blues meeting). Promotions will not occur if
a cadet’s uniform is in a state of disarray and not suitable to represent Carroll Composite Squadron to the
public.
6.
Disagreements with this Policy. Any and all concerns with this policy or a decision made regarding a
cadet’s promotion status will be brought to the attention of the Cadet Commander and the Deputy
Commander for Cadets by the cadet personally and not by proxy through family members or other
members of the squadron. Cadets are required to submit concerns through their chain of command, unless
the issue is of a sensitive nature, which would require the cadet to contact the Cadet Commander and the
Deputy Commander for Cadets directly.
