In order to access WPAFB, each cadet must bring a current

license, registration, and proof of insurance. If the car is not registered in
the driver’s name, a signed letter from the owner granting the driver
permission to operate the vehicle is required. **IMPORTANT** If a non-CAP
member (ie. parents) are transporting cadets to WPAFB, respond to this email as
soon as possible and provide me with their full name. If you are unsure which
parent will drive, send me both. We need to submit a list of non-CAP members to
base security. **IMPORTANT** If, for any reason, you are refused access to the
base, drive to the Hope Hotel and call me at (614) 307 – 5780. Directions are
available here.
