The PRRB will simply make sure that the cadet being looked at for a promotion has completed all the requirements for promotion IAW CAP Regulations. The cadet being evaluated MUST be recomended for promotion by a majority of the PRRB members.

Cadets are no longer required to attend a pormotion board. They will however, address the PRRB and state why they deserve to be promoted (much like a job interview).

PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND AND SIT IN AND LISTEN TO THE PRRB. This is to ensure you know what is going on in the Squadron and as a "check and balance" to the system.

Foothills' PRRB is created under authorization as set forth in CAPR 52-16, 2-4, d. Additionally, CAPR 52-16, 2-4 regulates the PRRB and the PRRB is bound by this regulation.

The PRRB is comprised of the following members for ENLISTED Cadet Reviews:
Cadet Commander - Cmdr - This cadet is usually the highest ranking cadet in the Squadron

Cadet Squadron 1st Sergeant - OPEN - For enlisted Cadets only. This cadet is usually the highest ranking enlisted cadet in the Squadron.

Cadet Flight Commander - This cadet is usually the highest ranking cadet in the Squadron under the Cadet Command staff.

Cadet Flight Sergeant - OPEN - For enlisted cadets only. This cadet is usually the second highest ranking enlisted cadet in the Squadron.

Cadet Element Leader - For enlisted cadets in their Element. This cadet is usually the third highest ranking enlisted cadet in the Squadron.

Squadron Commander - Is in the PRRC only to keep the PRRC meeting on tract. May ask questions to the cadet being recomended for promotion and votes only in a tie.
Squadron Commander can override any decision ofthe board if (s)he feels the board is being partial or onesided towards a cadet.

One more Senior Member - Again, only in the PRRC to monitor the process and ensure fairness on everyones part. May ask questions to the cadet being recomended for promotion.

Over 1/2 of the PRRB MUST be present in order to hold the review. IF there is not 1/2 + 1 present, promotions will be held over until the PRRB can hold a meeting with a quorum.

Cadet Commander - If higher in rank.

Cadet Flight Commander- If higher in rank.

ALL Cadet Officers of higher rank (up to three)

Squadron Commander - Sqaudron Commander votes on all Officer promotions.

One more Senior Member - All (ACTIVE) Senior Members on board have a say in Officer promotions.

Over 1/2 of the PRRB MUST be present in order to hold the review. IF there is not 1/2 + 1 present, promotions will be held over until the PRRC can hold a meeting with a quorum.

Items that the PRRB looks at are:
1) Time between promotions;
2) Moral Leadership participation (per CAPR);
3) Is the cadet ready for the promotion and added responsibility of the next rank. (per CAPR)
4) Does the cadet have the Cadet Oath memorized (per CAPR):
5) Does the cadet practice Customs and Courtesies while at CAP (per CAPR);
6) Uniform wear (per CAPR);
7) Attendance and participation in squadron activities during the promotion period (per CAPR AND Cadet Oath);
8) Initiative taken by cadet while at the meetings:
9) Time in CAP;
10) Tests passed (Aerosapce and Leadership);

These items we look at are for the most part in order of importance. Just because a cadet passes their tests, does NOT mean they will be promoted (CAPR 52-16, 2-4, c). That is just one part of the CAP Cadet Program.
