We Want You As a New Recruit!
Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the Civil Air Patrol! We are the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force. We serve our community and nation in many different and exciting ways. Whether your interest lies in Search and Rescue (in the air or on the ground), or just community service, we have a place and a job for you. We are all volunteers.
The Puerto Rico Wing is assigned to Southeast Region. The Wing has 34 Squadron (including Cadet Squadron, Composite Squadron, Senior Squadron) around the island, serves both young people ages 12-18, as well as adult (often called "senior members") age 18 and up. As a composite squadron, we focus on all three of the Civil Air Patrol missions: Cadet Programs, Emergency Services, and Aerospace Education.
If you are between the ages of 12 and 18 and are interested in becoming a cadet in our squadron, make sure you have reviewed the materials on the Cadet Programs Page with your parents. Then follow the instructions in the module below!
Prospective senior members or cadet sponsor members should visit our Senior Squadron, and review the information on how to join at the bottom of this page.
