Tehachapi Composite Squadron 46, Civil Air Patrol, had the privilege to promote two of our cadets this week and to present awards to several members for their hard work on the behalf of our squadron. Cadet Airman J. Kaczmarczyk promoted to Cadet Airman 1st Class earning the General Hap Arnold Achievement Award.

Cadet Airman Basic J. Shugart promoted to Cadet Airman earning the General John F. Curry Award. Cadet Airman Espinoza earned the Recruiter Ribbon this month for his excellent work in recruiting new members into the Civil Air Patrol. We recognize the hard work and diligence that these three outstanding cadets have shown.

Senior member 2nd Lt. Linda Baumgartner passed a rigorous 100 question Aerospace Education Exam earning the coveted General Chuck Yeager Award. This is an important achievement for a senior member in their CAP journey. This achievement is required for promotion to Captain and for any member who wants to become a Squadron Commander in the future. Congratulations for completing this part of your CAP journey with us.
