Medical Orientation Training School (MOTS)

In Civil Air Patrol, there are opportunities outside of your local squadron. Pictured here are cadets who were selected from all over the country, including Alaska, New Mexico, New Jersey, and even Puerto Rico, who gathered in Nacogdoches, Texas at the Texas Wing Headquarters to participate in MOTS. Here, cadets learned about lifesaving skills and medical careers. One of our cadets from Redbird Composite Squadron attended this year!
