1) ANNUAL VALIDATION FORMS - RETURNING CADETS ONLY
It is important that these forms be returned so we can verify that your contact information is correct. Once in-person activities start if this form is not returned the cadet will not be able to participate in the activity, this would include Friday night parades, drill team, band, marksmanship, ground school, gliding, etc.
If you can’t print off the form, at this time we will accept an email stating “no change” or “make the following changes” and state them. In the email please state on the subject line - Annual Verification and the cadet’s name.
