Cadet Certificate of Proficiency – The Spaatz Association

The Certificate of Proficiency (COP) recognized cadets who completed Civil Air Patrol’s demanding early training program, before the modern Cadet Program and the Spaatz Award. COP recipients are eligible for TSA membership.

Timeline

About 1949–1950The first certificates are awarded.
Early 1950sCadets move through the Red, White and Blue courses and attend summer encampments. Completing the advanced course and encampment requirements earns the certificate.
December 1954CAP records place the certificate’s formal establishment here.
August 1956The COP ribbon is authorized for cadet and senior members who completed the certificate.
1957A six-volume aviation study guide replaces the “Old Brown Books,” and the exam is revised to match. CAPM 50-2 ties three bronze ribbon clasps to Phase III Achievements Seven, Eight and Nine.
Late 1962The test becomes available directly from National Headquarters.
July 1964The final certificates are awarded as CAP introduces the modern Cadet Program, the Spaatz Award and the Falcon Award.
2007TSA creates a COP membership category.

How the program worked

The 1951 Air Officer Guide described CAP’s cadet training as practical preflight instruction in aviation and elementary military subjects for young people ages 15 through 17, taught over three years:

Course	Level	Hours of instruction
Red	Basic	120
White	Intermediate	115
Blue	Advanced	148

To graduate, cadets completed 90 percent of the prescribed hours, kept at least a 75 percent academic average, attended two summer encampments at Air Force bases, and finished the Blue Course.

Administration: USAF wing liaison officers normally gave the exam at summer encampment.
Scoring: National Headquarters graded the 150-question test; 70 percent was required.
Signatures: The USAF Chief of Staff and the CAP National Commander signed each certificate.
Study material: CAP Volume I, Books I and II, the “Old Brown Books.”
Why it mattered: Graduates had priority for Aviation Cadet and Air Force ROTC programs, and qualifying enlistees in the USAF, USAF Reserve or Air National Guard could enter at the grade then called private first class.

Estimates of how many cadets earned the certificate differ. One Association history estimated about 17,500 from 1949 to 1964; later research cited a possible total above 36,000. No complete master list survives.

My sister died in 2000.

We earned the COP as members of Denver Squadron 12, we met at East Denver High School. At that time, Denver Squadron 12 was in Group 1, Colorado Wing. At some point after I earned the COP, I transferred to Denver Squadron 13, also Group 1, Colorado Wing.

I will have to do some mind searching to see if I can come up with others who earned the COP Award who were members between 1956-1961 when I was a cadet.

Well, if the COP died in 1964, then Steven (Stephen?) Druzak and I earned it in 1962. We had maxed out in that sort of thing for two years before the new program came into being. Steve and I became the first in Washington to earn the new Spaatz award, too, numbers 98 and 99, nationally, as I recall.

Eric D. Olson – Sep 01, 2012

I’m a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to these kinds of lists, so bear with me. I earned my COP with the Central Miami Cadet Squadron, probably in 1963 after my first encampment at Eglin AFB.

One correction that I note in the “master” list. William F. “Tony” Buholtz is NOT a correct listing. Tony Buholtz and his brothers, William “Bill” Buholtz and (I think) Chris Buholtz were all members of Central Miami Cadet Squadron in the early 1960’s. Tony became an Army aviator-helo pilot and he was killed in action in Vietnam on Mar. 22, 1969, flying an OH-6 Loach. As far as I know, Bill Buholtz is still alive and well, living in the Orlando metro area. I have no information on Chris Buholtz. Their parents, Clayton and Katherine Buholtz, were CAP senior members and, I believe, their father ultimately became the adult squadron leader of CMC squadron.

Incidentally, Fred Swearingen has relocated and is also living in the Orlando/Kissimmee metro area as of September 2012.

Hello, Mike. I finally remembered Tony Buholtz’s youngest brother’s name; it’s Ben, not Chris. Also, Tony’s full name was Tony Lee Buholtz. He was an aeroscout pilot with Apache Troop, 1st Squadron, 9th Calvary (A/1/9) when he was killed. If you go to YouTube.com and search using the term, “Fallen Apache Troop Warriors Memorial,” you will find a very nice 10 minute video done for one of their reunions that has information and photos of Tony.

BRAVO ZULU!

That’s NAVY ‘signal talk’ for WELL DONE! Thank you for your efforts to credit those of us who were Cadets in the “Old Patrol.”

We four were active members in Pinellas Cadet Squadron in St Petersburg, FL, and credit CAPC for our first real “hands on” leadership training.

I joined the Cadets in Oct 1954. Got my first airplane ride on a venerable old L-16. Went on to be Cadet Commander. John followed me as CdtCC when I left to enter US Naval Academy. Then Richard took over when John left. Walter had enlisted in USAF.

CAPC started me on route to becoming a Naval Aviator & aeronautical engineer.

After grad from US Naval Academy, I re-joined CAP as a senior during preflight training, then became an attack carrier pilot flying A-4 “Skyhawk” during Vietnam, & later the A-7 “Corsair.” I remained active (as duty allowed) in CAP throughout 34 years in Navy. I retired from last command in Jul 92 & was appointed Florida Wing CC in Aug 92. Still active.

Richard joined Army, was a pioneer in helo gunships in the Vietnam war & was first active duty AH-1 “Cobra” Instructor Pilot.

Walter later was commissioned in National Guard & John became a clergyman. Richard & Walt also remained active in CAP for many years “giving back” to the Cadet program.

Glad to discover we may affiliate was your fine Association & I will do so.

Best regards

CHECK SIX!

I would like to complete the information about my COP as currently listed. When I received my COP in 1960, I was a member of the McClellan AFB Composite Squadron. Back then, the squadron was co-located with the NORCAL Group HQ offices on the base in North Highlands, CA. I had also earlier belonged to the Travis AFB Composite Sqdn. before my USAF Dad was transferred up to McClellan AFB. Before and after my active duty in the USAF, I served as a senior member in the Santa Rosa Compsite Sqdn, Santa Rosa, CA, and on the Nebraska Wing Staff.

I’m currently serving as the Aerospace Education Officer in the Northshore Composite Squadron in the Washington Wing and enjoying every minute!

Note that while the date of award is after the institution of the new awards program, the paperwork was submitted but not processed until July of 1964.

Eric D. Olson – Nov 12, 2013

In response to Howard Gelbman’s comments regarding the Miami Springs Cadet Squadron, Miami, Florida. I joined the CAP in 1962 with the Central Miami Cadet Squadron (CMCS) which met at the Eastern Airlines offices on NW 36th Street in Miami Springs. I never heard of a Miami Springs Cadet Squadron, but for all I know that could have been the predecessor name for the CMCS. I didn’t know a James Coleman, however, when I joined CMCS in 1962 the cadet commander was a fellow named Tom Brady and the cadet executive officer was Richard “Dick” Leali. Brady joined the USAF and did become a pilot. Dick Leali told me back about 1984 that Brady had been killed in a plane crash while flying a C-123 in the USAF reserves after his active duty service. His comment to me was that it was ironic that Brady got through Vietnam service as a fighter pilot only to die flying a C-123 in the states. Dick didn’t have any details such as date or place of the crash (at least I don’t remember him stating any details). Leali subsequently passed away from pancreatic cancer sometime in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. Both guys were fantastic people and were great inspirations to me as a young cadet in the 1960’s. By the way, I think I earned my COP in 1963 or early 1964. Got to go to Peru in 1965 as part of the International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE) and still stay in touch with some friends I met while in Peru at that time.

James W. Winney – Nov 13, 2013

I was a member of the New Oleans Cadet Squadron from October 1953 until mid 1956. I earned the Certificate of Proficiency in the Spring/Summer of 1955. The CAP was a very formative influence in my early life. It got me interested in things military. As a result, I graduated from West Point in 1962. I fully intended to be a career officer, but a parachute accident in 1963 left me with a medical profile, a career ender for an infantry officer.

H Larry Elman – Jul 01, 2014

Sir:

I earned the COP in 1955 in New Jersey Wing. I initially was in Clifton Composite Squadron, rising to C/2/Lt and serving as Adjutant. I was transferred to another NJWg unit — the West New York Sqdn — in about November 1955. (My wife calls West New York, New Jersey “The town with an Identity Crisis”). I believe my COP would show against the first squadron (Clifton), but I do not at this late date have records to show that. In West New York Sqdn I rose to C/1/Lt and to Cadet Squadron Commander. NJWg had resisted appointing Cadet Officers for several years, and the Cadet who served as Cadet Wing Commander when ceremonies demanded that was only a C/Captain at that time, which made C/1/Lt a bit more significant than in other Wings.

My presence on the COP list ought to be easy to verify. The CAP Cadet Scholarship Program was established in the Fall of 1955, with the first awards to be paid in the academic year which started in September 1956. Only holders of the COP could apply, and the first two awards were the largest that program ever provided anyone — 4 years full tuition at MIT. I was one of the two winners. Many of the other applicants subsequently received large grants from other sources, and when I entered MIT in Fall 1956, somewhere between 10 and 20 CAP Cadet COP holders who had been considered by the National Headquarters Selection Board were my classmates. We all kept in touch for a few years, but slowly drifted apart.

I can identify three such COP Cadets —

The Gill Robb Wilson Scholarship recipient was Larry Brock of Tennessee Wing. I was the William Woods Plankinton Scholarship recipient from NJWg. The New York Wing nominee, who attended MIT on a scholarship from another source was, I believe, Patricia Andre. I dated her a few times, and know she had both the COP and higher Cadet rank than I, and was from NYWg. A brilliant lady.

Please note that in extra-curriculars, both Larry Brock and I were active in several ROTC organizations, and we were both Inducted into the National Society of Pershing Rifles, the only DoD-recognized ROTC Honor society of its time. (Both of us were in C-12 — a unit still in existence.) We both majored in Aeronautical Engineering. Larry Brock lives in the Boston area.

In 1956 or 1957, CAP established Clusters on the COP Ribbon, with a maximum of three. I was the first person in NJWg to earn a Cluster; the first person to earn a Second Cluster; the first person to earn a Third Cluster; and the only person (at least in NJWg) to ever receive all three on one set of orders. I turned Senior around that time and served on Wing Staff when home from Boston.

In 1958, I decided I wanted to “go Coop” — which meant taking an apprenticeship at an aircraft manufacturer for six months solid, but then having to do Summer School and overloads to graduate with my Class (Class of 1960). This required approval from the donor of the Scholarship money. I met with Colonel Plankinton and during the meal I told him I probably would never earn enough to provide another Cadet with the opportunity he had given me. His reply was that I should counsel and train Cadets in the hope that one or more of my students would earn similar awards from CAP over the years. I asked him how long I should do this. He replied, “You should do this until you can quit without having a guilty conscience.” I little realized then that these words would “sentence” me to over 25 years serving as an Aerospace Ed Instructor and also as a Commandant of Cadets (the title then in vogue).

The apprenticeship was in Flight Test at Douglas Aircraft in California.

I graduated MIT in 1960 and entered the Air Force. Eventually I had extensive careers in both the Air Force and in the Defense Industry. I am one of only two engineers in the United States who can claim hands-on responsibilities in the development and deployment of BOTH the A-10 Warthog and the AH-64 Apache. I retired from the Air Force as a full Colonel, my final assignment being on the Staff of the Secretary of the Air Force, serving as Deputy Division Chief in the International Research and Development Office.

Just to sort of round off the list, I am also a published historian and served as Executive Vice-President of what, at that time, was the Nation’s fourth largest non-Governmental air museum. (We always mentioned “non-Governmental” because none of the air museums could compete with either the Smithsonian or the Air Force Museum!)

My colleague, Dr Murray Berkowitz, (COP as a NYWg Cadet), has often urged me to join the Spaatz Association, but I have never gotten around to it.

If I can provide additional information or “leads” just ask. Best ways to contact me are:

My name is Robert Gorjance. I was one of several cadets who were involved in the formation of Tulsa Squadron #2 in the early 1950’s. We specialized in communications support for Tulsa Squadron #1.

I received my COP sometime before 1955. I took the test at a summer camp at Amarillo AFB. Later that year I received the formal award at a CAP awards dinner. The award was presented by Mr. Harold C. Stuart, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force under Stuart Symington. I later went to work at KVOO Radio Station in Tulsa and it was Mr. Stuart who was now my boss. He was the station President as well as the CEO/President of Skelly Oil Co.

I enlisted in the Air Force in January of 61 and served at a major communications center in Siegelbach, Germany in the crypto maintenance section. Left the AF in Jan. of 65 (corrected–MJH) as an Airman First Class.

I currently live in Racine, WI. and work as a contract engineer at several radio stations in SE Wisconsin.

I believe Mike Ryan and his brother John both got their COPs as part of the Offutt Cadet Squadron, NE, in the late 50’s before they both went to the Air Force Academy.

Charlotte Payne Wright – Jun 17, 2015

I know for a fact that Mike Ryan (former AF Chief of Staff) received his COP, as a cadet in Nebraska Wing. I think his brother also received his COP. General Ryan presented a Spaatz Award to a former cadet member of my squadron, St. George Composite Squadron, Louisiana Wing; Dan Au the day before Dan graduated from the Air Force Academy (Class of 1999). Dan Kish (Spaatz # 6) was also present at the ceremony, as were LA WG Spaatz recipients (and members of the AFA Class of 1999) Jason Trew and Marc Johnson. Dan Kish received his COP as a cadet in Colorado Wing, but his age was such that he could continue as a cadet, earning the Spaatz Award. General Ryan and I were the older former cadets with only the COP, and possibly Phase III credits (I have them, don’t know about General Ryan). You might look into General Ryan’s brother, but you should add him (don’t know the year, but you might be able to reach out to General Ryan) and Dan Kish (don’t know the year).
