Posted

BAY CITY – Capt. Brenda Carlstrom from the Red Wing Civil Air Patrol Composite Squadron received the MN Wing Civil Air Patrol Recruiting and Retention Officer of the Year award.

Carlstrom received this award based on her abilities to recruit members, make them feel serviceable and encourage them to train and learn new skills. Carlstrom has been with the Red Wing Civil Air Patrol Composite Squadron for 16 years, is Squadron Commander and is looking to improve her squadron’s abilities to be prepared to be of service to the area’s communities and states. 

The Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force, has three primary missions: Aerospace education of the American people, emergency services, and the Cadet Program. The Cadet Program provides opportunities for the learning, maturing, accepting, and nurturing of leadership to over 26,000 young Americans from 12 to 20 years of age. With the advice and assistance from CAP Senior Members and the US Air Force, cadets are exposed to a structured program comprised of aerospace education, leadership, special activities, physical fitness, and moral and ethical values through group and individual activities.
