C/MSgt Kyle A. Norman was promoted in a ceremony at the Calhoun Composite Squadron on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024 by Major Donna Umstead.
The Civil Air Patrol, the official civilian auxiliary of the Air Force, was established nearly 70 years ago with a three-pronged mission – to conduct search-and-rescue and disaster-relief operations, provide aerospace education to youth and the general public and operate a cadet program for teens 12 to 18 years old.
Cadets who complete the program progress through four stages – learning, leadership, command and executive phases – and move on to the next stage by passing leadership, aerospace education and fitness tests. The Earhart, Eaker and Spaatz awards await the cadets who successfully complete the final phases.
C/MSgt Norman has consistently moved up through the ranks, setting and achieving goals. His parents, Bryon and Bridgette Norman attended the ceremony, proudly placing his new lapel pins.
For more information on becoming a cadet or an adult senior member of the Civil Air Patrol, please contact Shari Johnson, Deputy Commander of Cadets at (304)377-6036 or email Talk2shari@gmail.com.
