Ian's first promotion as a Civil Air Patrol Cadet!

Last night Ian had his first promotion as a Civil Air Patrol Cadet. He is eager to promote ....wants an appointment to the Air Force Acadamy or the Naval Acadamy! Even though he is just finishing his 9th grade year, he already realizes the hard work and dedication it's going to take to get an appointment. Civil Air Patrol is going to give him many opportunites for leadership. Congrats, Ian! Well done!

Yummy reward!

He's hoping I don't give him the obligatory "kiss" on the cheek after pinning him. I did!
