Civil Air Patrol - Instructions

To apply for activities managed by CAP Cadet Programs you must be able to log into “e-Services” to access and complete the on-line Special Activities application. This means you must have a CAPID and a password. Do not wait until the last minute to establish a password and confirm that you can log into “e-Services”.

1. Locate the Special Activities Application: Go to E-Services and click the “NCSA Main Menu” link on the left hand side of the screen. As you follow the instructions for entering your request, you will also get to check (and correct if necessary) your address, contact information, and personal characteristics that National Headquarters (NHQ) has on file.

2. Electronically submit your application to NHQ. (When you have completed, reviewed and printed your CAP form 31, it will automatically be transmitted to NHQ electronically)

3. Sign the “Release Agreement” and have your parent or guardian (if applicable) sign the “Release by Parent or Guardian” block (page 4 of the application).

4. Mail the signed “Release Agreement/Release by Parent or Guardian” to the activity director after you have been selected for an activity. If you are slotted to attend more than one activity, you will need to send a copy of the release to each event.

UNDERSTANDING THE SLOTTING PROCESS

Senior Members are not slotted the way cadets are. Activity Directors will select and slot their staff.

Senior Members who are selected for a staff position will be contacted by the activity directly.

You need Explorer 6.0 and Adobe 6.0

to complete the application.

Both are available as downloads from

the e-Services web page.

Senior Member Applications

Senior members follow the same

procedures as the cadets but select the

Staff Applications event.

Personal contact information:

The computer process takes member

data and puts it in the forms where

appropriate so it's important that your data

is accurate.

Emergency contact information.

The process will not work without this.

NHQ does not manage these activities:

Hawk Mountain Search and Rescue School,

Aviation Challenge,

Space Camp, and

EAA Air Academy.

(Following these links will take you away

from the CAP web domain).

NESA uses a separate registration process. Please use their website to contact the

NESA staff.

DETAILS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
In some cases activity dates must be set 10

to 12 months in advance. It is not unusual

for an activity date to change by one or two

days. Updates will be published

continuously on this page.
