Aerospace Education (AE) membership is a special category of membership for members of the educational community who desire to promote the objectives and purposes of CAP, but who do not desire to participate in the active membership program. Privileges of AE Membership Aerospace Education Members receive a CAP membership card, the Civil Air Patrol News, and are authorized military airlift (if available) for approved aerospace education projects and activities when official CAP transportation authorizations are provided in accordance with CAPR 10-3. Certain restrictions apply.  For example, aerospace education members are not authorized to wear the CAP uniform, hold CAP grade, nor receive any awards or benefits provided in the regular active membership program.  Aerospace Education members may transfer to active membership at any time.
