Well Done Cadet! This is an accomplishment to be PROUD of! This is an Award that people take notice of and that means something to more than just the recipient.

Very VERY Proud of you!

Wow! That's fantastic! Isn't it something like only 0.05% of the entire CAP enrollment has ever held that award? That's great! I know this took years of hard work, determination, and skill in all aspects of CAP, community, and maybe even country.

If you had READ the article, it states 1%. In most of these advanced awards, time and energy takes it toll on the numbers. Other factors like School and Sports come into play. It takes someone with dedication and the will power to achieve these Awards and that is one of the many things that make it a special Award.

In some places it references .5% and others 1% depending on where you look and when you recieved the award. Your both right.

Cadet, you have accomplished something that you should be very proud of. The Spaatz Award is a very difficult award that requires personal motivation and determination.

Besides the Spaatz Award though I must compliment you on your other achievements listed, a cadet being both an AOBD and a GBD is very impressive.

Congratulations on your latest achievement and I'm sure it won't be your last. Keep up the great work and keep pressing on.

You have my congratulations, I'm proud of you.

As you were 1SGT.
The CAP stats have Spaatz winners listed as .05%....not 1%. I don't find it appropriate berating someone young enough to be in JROTC because of a discrepancy like that.

Good job cadet.

Taken right from the article:

The Spaatz award is the highest honor a CAP cadet can achieve, with less than 1 percent of all cadets receiving the award.

1st ID Veteran, why don't you hop over to the New Members Forum and post and introduction.

I don't find it appropriate that a newcomer bust in here flappin their jaws without even the decency of an intro post. BTW, I'm Pingjocky, and who are you?

I am 1st_ID_Veteran.
I was in CAP back in the day, hence why posting here. Here is my intro post.
So, Ping Jockey, were you in Civil Air Patrol? If not I dont find that this thread necessarily involves you, to be blunt. Hop back ship board.
