AFSA International is honored to have the opportunity to help recognize deserving cadets who demonstrate outstanding qualities in military leadership, discipline, character and citizenship.

An annual award established by the Air Force Sergeants Association to recognize the outstanding CAP cadet NCO in each squadron. Selections will be made by the unit commanders concerned not later than 15 April annually. 

To nominate a cadet, please send CAP Form 120 or an email to AFSA HQ at cap@hqafsa.org with the cadet's name, a few lines telling us why you feel this cadet should be awarded, along with the point of contact, date, time, location of the awards ceremony, the squadron’s complete mailing address, and whether you would like someone to present the award.

We recommend you send nominations to AFSA HQ 30 days prior to the ceremony date.  AFSA HQ will contact the chapter closest to your squadron.  If Chapter Leadership or a representative is available to present the award, someone will contact you directly. If no one is available or if you do not hear from the chapter in time for your ceremony, please present the award on AFSA’s behalf.
