Elk County Catholic 8th-grade students Jayden Lang and Leo Bleggi are Cadets of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Dubois Composite Squadron NER-PA-602, located at the VFW Post 813.

They participate every Thursday evening, which consists of drilling, marching, and character development. They also have the opportunity to participate in weekend training at the regional and national levels, as well as to obtain their pilot’s license at no charge through CAP flight training.

Cadets who have the goal of entering the United States Air Force after high school graduation have the chance of entering at a higher rank, such as an E-3 Airman First Class, and also have a higher degree of success in entering the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Your ECCSS family is so proud of the commitment you are making! Way to go! 🇺🇸
